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 15 PSI. The 1/3 HP, 1750 RPM, TEFC motor is operated by 3 phase power at 230/460V 60Hz.

The 10 gallon capacity reservoir is constructed with 304 stainless 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” RF flanged return connections and (2) 1/2” female NPT drains.  A baffle in the tank separates sediment and reduces turbulence.  A 100 mesh stainless steel suction filter inside the reservoir helps filter out 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 conduit box is provided for electrical connection of the low level switch.

A 6 Micron, 1000 beta filter near the outlet helps maintain liquid quality.  The filter features a spin-on element for ease of cleaning and replacement. 

Heaters can maintain a certain liquid temperature and assist in cold weather start-ups.  This Circulating Oil System features a 1500 watt immersion heater.  The heater is mounted to the reservoir and housed in Nema 4 enclosure. It has an integral thermostat adjustable from 60° to 250° F

Additional controls include:

• A stainless steel pressure gage located near the system outlet, displaying 0-60 PSI.
• A stainless steel check valve located at the system outlet to ensure fluid flows in only one direction.
• A stainless steel bypass relief valve located near the system outlet, used to set system pressure, adjustable from 7 to 35 PSI.
• A pressure switch located near the system outlet, adjustable from 0 to 60 PSI.
• A brass flow switch located near the system outlet, set at .5 GPM.
• A temperature switch located near the system outlet, adjustable from 75° 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 20” by 12”. The overall height is approximately 34 1/4”. 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.
