Pro-Mix III Lubricating Systems

Pro Mix III DC Lubricating SystemSPECIFICATIONS
The PRO-MIX lubricating system is manufactured to thoroughly mix lubricant concentrate with water to the desired mixture, and distribute the mixture to each press through an in-plant piping network. Each press coupled to the network will receive a continuous supply of pressurized lubricant. Additionally, the lubricating systems can be manufactured to supply TWO or THREE different mixtures of the lubricant concentrate to each press. The following proposal defines the FUNCTION, SYSTEM COMPONENTS, SAFETY FEATURES, and COST of the PRO-MIX lubricating system.

PRO-MIX III LUBRICATING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
  1. Dual Stainless Steel Liquid Reservoirs (Water and Lube Concentrate) used to stabilize the liquids prior to mixing. Support systems of the reservoirs include: Automatic Liquid Refill Systems (Solenoid Valve/WATER) (Gravity/LUBE CONCENTRATE). SEE Note in Specifications.
  2. Fluid Level Supervisory System. Fluid level monitors located within the system reservoirs continuously monitor the level of the two materials. These monitors are used to refill the water reservoir on demand, and to discontinue the machine's service and/or activate the alarm if a dangerous low material level develops during the systems operation.
  3. Patented PRO-DRIVE Assembly used to thoroughly mix, control, and pressurize if necessary the mixture. Components include: Vari-Drive Transmission, Drive Motor, Pump Network, and Mixture Transducer.
  4. Mixture Ratio Display that displays the mixture being produced by the machine. The display will activate when the PRO-MIX is mixing lubricant and 0 at idle.
  5. Mixed Material Distribution System used distribute the mixed material. The distribution system pressurizes the mixed material for automated distribution to the production machinery through an In-plant piping network.
  6. Electrical and Electronic Package used for system control and process monitoring - Components include: Support Electrical Apparatus, System PLC, Mixture Display, and Operators Interface.
  7. System ALARM and Diagnostic Indicator. The system includes an Audible/Visual Alarm that activates if a system problem develops, and a process diagnostic indicator that identifies a lubricant concentrate supply empty condition.

SAFETY FEATURES ENSURED BY ACCURATE METERING SYSTEMS
  1. Low WATER Level Sensor that will discontinue the machine's service if a DANGEROUS Low Level is detected.
  2. Lubricant Concentrate Supply Supervision that will alert the system's operator to a supply out condition. This safety alarm will NOT discontinue the machine's service.
  3. High Pressure Supervision that will discontinue the machine's service if a DANGEROUS High Pressure is detected.
  4. Mechanical Pressure Relief to insure protection if the high pressure safety switch fails.
  5. In Plant Piping Supervision that will discontinue the machines service if a delivery line fails.
  6. Audible/Visual Alarm System consisting of a RED flashing strobe light and horn that activates if a process problem develops.
  7. Diagnostic Indicator used to identify a Lubricant Concentrate SUPPLY EMPTY condition.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
  1. MIXTURE TESTING FEATURE. The Mixture Testing function is used to mechanically test the mixture being produced by the machine. The test takes only minutes to perform and does not require the machine to be taken OFF-LINE.
  2. All of the machine functions are controlled and monitored by system's Allen Bradley MicroLine 1000 PLC.
  3. ONLY the AMOUNT of WATER can be varied in the mixture. Greater process control is attained through the utmost in mixture stability.
  4. Mechanical coupling of the TWO system pumps for absolute MIXTURE CONTROL.
  5. ONE 3/PHASE 1.5 HP INDUSTRIAL MOTOR controls all of the machine's mixing functions.
  6. Through a simple modification the PRO-MIX III can be adapted to a variety of mixture ranges.
  7. AUDIBLE/VISUAL Alarm System.

NOTE: The PRO-MIX III lubricating system utilizes gravity for the purpose of filling the lubricant concentrate reservoir. We employ TWO methods to accommodate either 55 gallon drums or multi drum totes. For use with drums on drum racks or totes which sit on the floor we fill through a 1 1/4 inch NPT fitting located on the bottom of the reservoir. For totes which are elevated we fill through 1 inch NPT fitting located on the top of the reservoir. Included with the bottom filling style is a check valve which minimizes the loss of lubricant during drum or tote changing. Included with the top filling style is a mechanical float valve located within the reservoir which eliminates over filling of the reservoir.

The machine is purchased ONE of TWO ways. If you chose to fill from the bottom with a tote, the tote MUST be no more than 48 inches in height, or the PRO-MIX must be elevated to eliminate overfilling the reservoir. If you chose to fill from the top with a tote, the tote MUST be elevated more then 50 inches in height to insure proper filling.

MIXTURE RATIO RANGES DEFINED AS WATER 10 TO LUBE 1 = (10/1)
(A) 1/1 to 4/1 The preferred method of choosing a mixture ratio
(B) 3/1 to 10/1 range is by determining the mixture you require and
(C) 6/1 to 20/1 choosing the range that will produce the mixture at
(D) 10/1 to 30/1 50% of the scale. EXAMPLE: Required Ratio 40 to 1
(E) 20/1 to 60/1 Required Range 20/1 to 60/1.
(F) 30/1 to 90/1
(G) 50/1 to 150/1

All work will be performed in a workman like manner using Top Quality lubricating systems components and construction methods. The lubricating system has a ONE Year Parts Warranty, and is shipped complete, tested, and preset to meet your operational criteria.

Supplied with each lubricating system will be an easily interpreted users manual that includes:
  1. Installation
  2. Operation
  3. Safeties Defined
  4. Trouble Shooters Guide
  5. Electrical Diagram
  6. Parts List
  7. Machine Layout

OPTIONS are available which include:
1. A 55-gallon floor standing drum rack plumbed into the reservoir.

2. A fabricated steel frame attached to the framework of the PRO-MIX lubricating system, which allows storage of the lubricant concentrate tote ON TOP OF the PRO-MIX. Because totes are manufactured in a variety of configurations, it will be the user's responsibility to plumb from the tote to the PRO-MIX reservoir. The frame work will include a base plate 48x48x1/4 HRSI a top plate 48"x48"xl/4" HRS, with 3x3 angle corner supports and gussets.

TOTAL FRAME DIMENSIONS: H=60 x W=48 x D=48

The mixture pressure tank or accumulator supplied with the PRO-MIX III lubricating system has a capacity of 5 gallons. An optional 25-gallon accumulator can be substituted. The 25 gallon accumulator is identical to the PRO-MIX V lubricating system.
