Automatic Oiling System

Specifically engineered brushes clean chains and sprockets while applying oil to all moving parts, increasing equipment life.

Lubricating while parts are warm and running allows oil to penetrate pin bushing joints.

Fully adjustable pump allows modification of dispensing rate to assure all parts are properly oiled; eliminating friction between moving parts regardless of climate or condition.

Spare parts & kits are available for system expansion and customization. Add more lines onto the pump for additional attachments with the "Add a Line Kit". The "Restrictor Kit" is used to limit oil dispersion on specific lines.

The LubeMinder® Automatic Oiler operates off an intermittent hydraulic signal. The hydraulic pilot signal hose can be connected to a cylinder, valve block, or manifold that does not trap pressure.
The LubeMinder® Automatic Oiler is cycled when it receives the pilot signal. The hydraulic pressure pushes the piston up, sending oil out to the brushes, dispensing a light film of oil to the chains and sprocket. 

The LubeMinder® applies oil when the chain is warm and running. This is the best time to apply lubricant because you get the proper penetration. Consistent oiling minimizes metal-to-metal contact and provides cooling. Oil pumped to a brush located next to the chain maximizes the amount of debris cleaned off the chain while it disperses the oil to the pin bushing joint to help eliminate chain stretch.

On average, the two-quart reservoir will last approximately 8 hours. This rate will vary by the way you adjust the pumps
dispensing rate and the number of cycles your equipment uses.

The type of oil is as important as the method of application. Most chain manufacturers recommend a good grade of clean petroleum chain oil without additives. Additives generally leave a varnish or gum residue which prevents oil from penetrating the chain joints. The highest viscosity oils flow best between the chain link plates, filling the pin-bushing areas, providing the best wear life.
