Description
Prep-Air II Lubricators are available in micro-mist and standard-mist types. These lubricators inject a mist of oil into the flowing air stream to automatically provide the correct amount of internal lubrication for air tools and other pneumatic devices. Prep-Air II Lubricators can be precisely adjusted to a very low oil flow rate because only a portion of the oil drops seen in the sight dome travels downstream. Proportional oil is delivered over a wide range of air flows and precision needle valve assures repeatable oil delivery. A slight adjustment can provide a desired mist rate. These units are ideal for low and high flow applications that demand uniform lubrication in a robust package. Prep-Air II Lubricators can be mounted using a modular connector to other Prep-Air II products. F442 oil is suggested for lubrication and will allow the product to perform at peak performance. The lubricators should be used where only a very small amount of lubrication is desirable or where it is necessary for the oil to remain suspended in the air stream for long distances.
The Prep-Air II Micro-Mist Lubricators (06L and 07L) are designed to provide optimum lubrication with fine micro-mist particles of 2 micron or smaller, even through complex piping arrangements.
The Prep-Air II Standard-Mist Lubricators (15L, 16L and 17L) are designed to provide lubrication with larger particles.
