The Shamrock Compact Lube System, featuring a non-pressurized all stainless steel tank, is designed to mix, store, and pressurize water-soluble die lubricants in a single compact unit. Shamrock's Variable-Ratio Die Lube Mixer is powered by inlet water pressure. The mix ratio is adjustable over a range of 16:1 ip to 200:1 using a single allen wrench. Exhaust from the air powered pressurizing pump is used to agitate the lube mix, keeping solids in suspension. The standard 20 gallon non-pressurized reservoir will supply up to 200 gallons per hour of pressurized lube to manual or automatic spraying systems.
The Shamrock Compact Lube System is a complete lube mixing and distribution center in miniature. The heart of the Compact Lube System is the Shamrock Variable Ratio Die Lube Mixer. Inlet water pressure (as low as 20 psi) provides the energy required to precisely dilute the water-soluble lube concentrate and pump the mixture into the non-pressurized holding reservoir. A float valve assembly stops the mixer when the reservoir is filled.
An air-powered double diaphragm pump, mounted to the lid of the holding reservoir, is used to pressurize and distribute the lubricant to spray guns or automatic sprayers. The standard 20 gallon unit will supply up to 200 gallons of pressurized lube per hour (with a maximum surge rate of 13 gallons per minute) to service the requirements of multiple die casting machines. The exhaust from the air-powered pump is routed to the bottom of the reservoir to agitate the contents and keep solids in suspension.
The entire Compact Lube System weighs only 125 pounds (dry). The unit measures 19" wide by 22" deep by 36" tall. Side mounted handles provide easy portability.
The inlet water supply and lube concentrate siphon lines are connected directly to the Variable Ratio Die Lube Mixer. The discharge from the mixer is routed directly to the non-pressurized holding reservoir through factory installed plumbing. A supply of compressed air is connected to the top mounted pump and the output from the pump is plumbed directly into your distribution system.
The pressurizing pump only runs when lube is demanded from the system. When any spray gun or automatic sprayer begins spraying, the pressurizing pump starts running immediately to provide the required amount of pressurized lube. The flow rate will increase as more spray heads begin spraying to meet the required demand. As soon as the actual spraying stops, the pressurizing pump stops running. The entire operation is controlled by lube demand and no external controls are required.
The Variable Ratio Die Lube Mixer also operates on demand as the fluid level in the holding reservoir drops. Working independently from the pressurizing pump, the mixer also requires no external controls. The flow rate through the mixer is a function of the regulated inlet water pressure.
