Oil-Rite manufactures Lubrication Systems specifically to customer requirements.  All systems are engineered, designed, manufactured and fully tested at Oil-Rite.  This is an example of a custom built Circulating Oil System.

This Circulating Oil System has a gear pump providing 5 GPM at 35 PSI.  The 1/2 HP, 1725 RPM, TEFC motor is operated with 3 phase power at 230/460V 60Hz.

The 50 gallon capacity reservoir is constructed of welded steel.  A top filler cap makes filling the reservoir quick and simple.  The filler cap is equipped with an air filter and liquid strainer to help maintain liquid quality.  A baffle in the tank separates sediment and reduces turbulence.  There is a 100 mesh stainless steel suction filter inside the reservoir to filter larger debris.  A motor operated 316 stainless steel mixer stirs the lubricant in the reservoir.

A 23 micron filter near the outlet helps maintain liquid quality.  The normally open low level switch inside the reservoir can be wired to shut down machinery or turn on warning devices when the liquid supply fails or recedes to a predetermined level.  A conduit box and relay are provided for electrical connection of the low level switch.

Heaters can maintain a certain liquid temperature and assist in cold weather start-ups.  This Circulating Oil System features a 3000 watt screw plug immersion type heater.  The heater is mounted on the side of the reservoir and housed in a Nema 4 enclosure.  The heater has an integral thermostat adjustable from 60° to 250° F. 

Additional controls include:

·          A check valve located at the system outlet to ensure fluid flows in only one direction. 

·          A cast iron bypass relief valve used to set system output pressure, adjustable from 7 to 35 PSI.

·          A pressure gage displaying 0-60 PSI.

·          A brass flow switch adjustable from 1 to 6 GPM.

·          A 13” liquid level gage on the outside of the reservoir features a dial thermometer displaying temperatures from 0° to 250° F, allowing visual check of liquid level, condition, and temperature at a glance. 

All Circulating Oil Systems are quoted specifically to customer requirements.  Pricing can be determined only after the Circulating Oil System Request Form (found on this page) is completed.  Contact the bearing manufacturer for information on the flow rate and fluid required.
