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 12 GPM at 240 PSI. The 5 HP, 1750 RPM, TEFC motor is operated by 3 phase power at 230/460V 60Hz.

The 60 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. There is a 4” return connection 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 13 micron, 1,000 beta filter located near the outlet helps maintain liquid quality. The filter features a spin-on element for ease of cleaning and replacement.

An air cooled heat exchanger maintains a constant oil supply temperature. It removes approximately 73,000 BTU/Hr. This system was designed for an application where oil circulates in at about 160° F and out at 130° F. The 1 HP, 1725 RPM, TEFC, explosion proof rated fan motor is operated by 3 phase power at 208-230/460V 60Hz. A thermostatic control valve is used to control the system outlet oil temperature.

Additional controls include:

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

• Iron piping with welded fittings.
• Viton seals in components
• A cast iron bypass relief valve located near the system outlet, used to set system output pressure and adjustable from 150 to 350 PSI.
• A stainless steel dial thermometer located near the heat exchanger outlet, displaying 0° to 250° F.
• A stainless steel pressure gage located near the system outlet, displaying 0-400 PSI.
• A 15” 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 36” by 51”. The overall height is approximately 43”. The system can be secured using the (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.
