Lubricant and Water Mixing Units   Controlled Lubrication can build mixing tanks to suit many varieties of lubricant emulsions and solutions. The unit shown is designed to mix graphite forging lubricants with water.
The amounts are infinitely variable with an unlimited output.

Water enters the unit via solenoid valve within the units control cabinet, and then passes though a geared pulse meter, which relays a signal to the PLC.

The oil enters the unit in the same way from a 3:1 ratio pump in a 205ltr drum.
This also passes through a geared pulse meter and relays a second signal to the PLC after which both oil and water enter the mixing tank via a mixing nozzle.  

The two signals are processed by the P.L.C. and in turn control the action of the water and oil solenoids. When the predetermined amounts of oil and water have been reached the solenoid valves close, after which the contents of the mix tank are transferred to a storage tank below.

When the mix tank reaches a low level the transfer valve closes and the mix process restarts. The mix process will continue to run until the storage tank reaches a high level switch. This will be indicated on the H.M.I. panel and the process will stop, until such time fluid is drawn off from the storage tank and, the process will automatically start again. The H.M.I. panel is used to indicate the status of the mixing unit e.g.

• System Mixing
• Storage Tank Full
• System Stopped Transfer
• Valve Open

The H.M.I. panel can also identify any fault that may occur within the system e.g. No Flow Of Water

• No Flow Of Oil
• Low Air Pressure
• Low Oil Pressure

Monitoring of oil and water consumptionis also available within the H.M.I. panel.
