In order to obtain the desired tribological properties for a lubricant, the medium has to be mixed according to the situation. It’s like a salad dressing, where the oil separates after it sits for a while, so it has to be stirred again before serving.
Lubricants are physically structured so they release oil. A thickening agent consisting of light metal or alkali metal soap is often added to the mix to increase the viscosity. It surrounds the oil particles, slowing down the separation of the oil.
How quickly the lubricating oil is released depends on the action time, temperature and compression load of the application. The oil has to be released more slowly or quickly, depending on the requirements. This so-called “bleeding” reduces the lubricant quality.
Easy to control
The AXFP-H Homogenization Pump developed by ABNOX, which continuously mixes the lubricant in the container, solves this problem. The new system is integrated above the container to prevent bleeding at the start of the conveying cycle.
Should the pump on the container be idle, integrated material pressure relief prevents bleeding inside the lines. This is the case, for example, when systems are shut down over the weekend and the lubricants are not moving.
ABNOX permits users to control the solid matter pump on the container as well as the Homogenization Pump externally. Thus they benefit from straightforward operation and higher process reliability.
