Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL)

Minimum quantity lubrication establishes itself as an ecological and economical solution in all applications that require reduced friction due to lubricants or treatment with a preservative liquid. Changing the lubricant during production is often a very costly operation for companies. WERUCON® dosing technology has been refined to the point where the required lubricant can be determined for the various dosing units.

This way, industrial customers operating with or without swarf removal can benefit from state-of-the-art lubrication in minimal quantities without high conversion costs.

The Minimum quantity lubrication leads to a considerable reduction in the amount of lubricant used while ensuring reproducible greasing. In addition to cost reduction, there is also a significant reduction in environmental impact. A prerequisite for maximum flexibility in using lubricants or coolants is the use of an efficient pump.

Dosing pumps result from self-development, aiming to transport liquids of the most diverse viscosities. This includes maximum variability in the choice of liquids and increased process security in the presence of fluctuating external temperatures.

WERUCON® dispensing nozzles have a geometric design that prevents misting for most lubricants on the market by setting the blowing air correctly. In this way, no health-damaging respirable particles (aerosols) settle in the air in the workspace.

ELECTRONIC DOSING UNIT EDC

  • Pneumatic drive: min. compressed air = 4 bar
  • Feed speed: max. = 35 mm³ / stroke
  • Max. frequency = 3 Hz / 180 strokes / min

 

The electronic dosing centre is used for all lubrication applications and is specially designed to handle various viscosities. In addition to conventional lubricants, other liquid fluids can also be processed, provided they can be used for the electronic dispensing centre and have been approved by WERUCON!

The device functions as a filling station, which can be equipped with different dosing nozzles. Originally, the medium is dosed without contact with the component using spray nozzles by adding spray air. The dispensing device can also be used as a supply station for contact lubrication (e.g., a lubricator for roller conveyors or similar), i.e. without spray air.

 

The device is used, for example, for the lubrication of sheet metal strips/dies on automatic punching presses. Contact and non-contact lubrication are possible in open or closed spray applications to wet from above and below. Point lubrication in the tool and safe lubrication for the tapping process are also possible.

The device is particularly advantageous when a flow rate proportional to the process must be continuously adjusted during operation or where individual nozzles must be selectively switched on or off.
