Lubricating station Lubristation™ LCU

Overview
The Lubristation™ LCU is a self-contained lubricant conditioning unit designed for professional lube-room management. Built to accommodate 200 L and 50 L drums, the LCU integrates sealed storage, filtration and dispensing in a weather-resistant housing. Each unit is supplied as a complete system with drums, pumps, three-way filtration and dispensing points pre-installed for immediate use.

The Challenge: Protecting Lubricants from Contamination
Contamination during storage and transfer (particulates, moisture and ingress) reduces lubricant performance and increases equipment failure risk, unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.

• Contamination during transfer from drums
• Poor or absent filtration
• Inconsistent oil handling practices
• Decreased machinery reliability

The Solution: Lubristation LCU
The LCU provides a compact, closed solution for sealed bulk storage, filtered transfer and controlled dispensing into OilSafe cans or directly to equipment. It minimizes contamination risk and standardizes oil handling procedures.

How the LCU works
The unit operates as a closed-loop system:

• Bulk storage – oils remain sealed inside 200 L or 50 L drums
• Drum connection – quick-connect sealed suction hose for secure drum attachment
• Filtration on transfer – pneumatic pumps feed oil through a three-way high-flow hydraulic filter (10 µm standard)
• Clean dispensing – delivery via hose and tap bar into cans or machinery
• Circulation mode – optional recirculation keeps stored oil conditioned

Key features and Benefits

• Heavy-duty pneumatic pump – reliable transfer without electrical drive
• High-flow hydraulic filter with saturation indicator – maintains oil cleanliness
• Circulation filtration – conditions oil during storage
• Integrated air breather dryer – limits moisture ingress
• Quick-connect suction hose with anti-return valve – safe drum handling
• Compact wall-mounted design – space-efficient installation

Related capabilities
The LCU complements the Lubristation range for professional oil management and is used across manufacturing, mining, marine, power generation and other industries where lubricant cleanliness is critical to reliability.
