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 is equipped with a cast iron pump providing 1.5 GPM at 20 PSI. The 1/3 HP, 1725 RPM, TEFC motor is operated by 3 phase power at 230/460V 60Hz.

The 15 gallon capacity reservoir is constructed with 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. There are (2) 1” female NPT returns and (2) 1/2” female NPT drains. A baffle in the tank separates sediment and reduces turbulence. A 100 mesh stainless steel suction filter within the reservoir filters larger debris.

A 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 20 micron filter located near the outlet helps maintain liquid quality. It features replaceable elements.

An air cooled heat exchanger helps maintain a constant oil supply temperature. The heat exchanger’s fan is operated with a 1/6 HP, 1140 TEFC motor operated by 3 phase power at 230/460V 60Hz.

Additional controls include:

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

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

·          A dial thermometer displaying 0° to 250° F located near the system outlet.

·          A stainless steel pressure gage located near the system outlet, displaying 0-60 PSI.

·          A pressure switch in a Nema 4/4X enclosure, adjustable from 3 to 30 PSI, located near the system outlet.

·          A temperature switch located in a Nema 4/4X enclosure inside the reservoir, adjustable from 75° F to 205° F.

·          A 9” centerline liquid level gage on the outside of the reservoir with a dial thermometer displaying temperatures from 0° to 250° F, allowing visual check of liquid level, condition, and temperature at a glance.

This custom built circulating oil system measures 57” by 21 15/32”. The overall height is approximately 33 1/16”. The system can be secured using (4) mounting holes located on the base of the unit.

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.

Delivery is dependent upon supplier availability, lead times range from 4 to 10 weeks.
