LubriMist® OIL MIST GENERATORSEffective, centralized lubrication systems that pay for themselves within two years of installation.
LubriMist Generators are available in eight different models to meet virtually every lubrication need:
IVT – designed for large-scale, fully-automated systems for process units requiring maximum control and monitoring and an interface with DCS. Microprocessor controlled, available in hot and cold weather packages. Up to 933-bearing-inch capacity.
JD – provides lubrication protection for intermediate-to-large systems, microprocessor control and feedback to DCS. Up to 933-bearing-inch capacity.
JR – intermediate system lubrication protection with auto-fill and a minimum external DCS, electromechanical control. Up to 500-bearing-inch capacity.
VFP – lubrication for systems with very few lubrication points with manual lubrication fill. Unit offers alarms for high/low mist pressure and low oil level. Up to 500-bearing-inch capacity.
VO – versatile, intermediate system that provides manual control and monitoring. Up to 500-bearing-inch capacity.
VM – basic oil mist generation for small, centralized systems. Up to 300-inch-bearing capacity.
LubriMate® – designed for isolated or stored equipment. Requires no electricity. A closed loop system, requires no refilling.
NV – fills critical needs of reliability and control for intermediate, multi-port systems in non-hazardous locations. Full monitoring with a six-gallon reserve. Up to 1,000-bearing-inch capacity.
