LubriLean Smart

Units for internal and external Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL)

SKF LubriLean Smart minimal quantity lubrication system consists of a lubricant reservoir, one or more mixture regulation units and lubricant lines with spray nozzles. The compressed air fed to the system pressurizes the lubricant reservoir resulting in the lubricant being transported separately (= dual ducts) through a system of ducts and lines to the spray nozzle.

The aerosol required at the process point is produced at the nozzle outlet by the Venturi principle. Carrier air flowing past the oil outlet sweeps the lubricant along with it and turns it into extremely fine lubricant particles. The concentric oil/air flow that results from this special design keeps the jet from expanding and causes the aerosol to be delivered to the process spot with pinpoint accuracy. As a result, contamination of the surroundings with excess aerosol is successfully prevented.
