Main lubrication system solutions

• Total loss lubrications;Used in a large range of applications, total loss oil lubrication involves creating a thin oil-film between moving parts which is renewed at regular intervals by an automated lubrication system.
• Recycrulating oil lubrication; Oil re-circulation involves a continuous oil flow to the lubrication point. The oil is collected by drains to a supply tank and re-circulated back to the point. The pump station is equipped with cooling, heating and instrumentation to maintain the lubricant at optimal temperature. In an oil re-circulation system the bearing housing is kept full of oil whilst the fast change-over of lubricant removes heat allowing the user increases in speed and performance. The key to a good lubrication system is the careful monitoring of the lubricant supply - Dropsa has one of the most advanced systems available to achieve this.
• Air/Oil lubricaiton; Rapidly expanding Air/Oil lubrication technique is replacing both Mist Systems and Oil re-circulation systems. Several applications can benefit from Air/Oil System and from the substantial cost savings that can be achieved using it. Dropsa offers many articulated solutions to Air/Oil Lubrication - the VIP4 Family of products is the latest addiction to this range.
• Grease lubrication;Grease lubrication has a wide field of application ranging from small machines such as woodworking machinery to large heavy industry such as steel plants or paper mills. The large section of pump packages together with many custom design options allows any grease lubrication to be developed reliably and cost-effectively. The most popular systems used for grease lubrication are Dual Line and Progressive Divider Systems.
• Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL) and Near Dry Machining; The aim of near dry machining is to replace traditional coolant and pure oil flood systems in a machining environment with an accurately controlled compressed air stream that carries minimal quantities of oil lubrication in an "aerosol" format to the cutting surface. This ensures lubrication of the cutting surface and allows for high performance machining. Lubricating Aerosol is transported to the cutting surface in two ways: 1/ With External Lubrication: oil is transported via a nozzle to the cutting surface. Dropsa has a complete product line from simple, easy to install products such as the Grip and Vip4Tools series for External lubrication. 2/With Internal or "through-the-tool" lubrication: oil is transported through internal lubrication holes in the cutting tools. The MKD-Dual product leads the way with patented technology that generates specifically profiled micron-sized oil aerosol particles that can be injected through existing spindles and tool-holders to the leading edge of the cutting tool.
