TURBOLUB industrial oil-air lubrication systems and components

TURBOLUB industrial air-oil lubrication systems: patented wear-free TLR-U dividers for rolling mills, VTL progressive blocks, auxiliary SAT stations, and pneumatic controls.

TURBOLUB TLR-U series oil-air dividers

Patented TURBOLUB TLR-U dividers are engineered to split oil-air streams into equal portions without moving mechanical components. The design prevents seizure and ensures continuous lubricant delivery to high-speed bearings across heavy industrial rolling mills.

Uniform distribution of oil-air mixture without moving mechanical components
Zero mechanical wear of internal passages during non-stop mill operation
Dependable micro-metered lubricant feed under severe thermal operating conditions
Standard connection ports for high-pressure industrial roll neck fluid lines

TURBOLUB VTL series progressive metering blocks

TURBOLUB VTL metering blocks provide precision lubricant metering across heavy metal production plants. The solid steel housing and exact metering cell geometry eliminate bearing overheating and substantially decrease overall plant lubricant fluid consumption.

Precise lubricant metering prevents thermal overheating of critical roll bearings
Heavy-duty solid steel housing built to endure severe industrial plant vibration
Integrated visual and electronic monitoring indicators for each lubrication cycle
Substantial reduction in lubricant fluid usage compared to conventional grease

TURBOLUB SAT satellite oil-air stations

TURBOLUB SAT satellite stations deliver lubricating air-oil fluid to remote machine sections and roller conveyors. The modular architecture enables straightforward addition of supplementary satellite stations without interrupting running factory production lines.

Uninterrupted fluid feed to widely spaced bearing groups over long distances
Modular system expansion by adding extra auxiliary satellite SAT sub-assemblies
Centralized regulation of compressed air pressure and oil feed parameters
Elimination of production line stoppages through independent section control

TURBOLUB compact oil-air lubrication stations

Compact TURBOLUB lubrication units featuring reservoir capacities from 2.5 litres serve specialized rolling stands, high-speed machine spindles, and shearing units. Each assembly incorporates a reservoir, pressure pump, compressed air filter, and fine oil strainer.

Compact reservoir starting from 2.5 litres ideal for local near-machine mounting
Integrated positive displacement pump and precision air preparation assembly
Multi-stage oil filtration protecting micro-bore divider channels from debris
Energy-efficient electric motor drive ensuring minimal power usage during runs

TURBOLUB mixing nozzles and injection valves

TURBOLUB mixing nozzles and adaptors create an even, continuous oil film along pipe interior surfaces using compressed air flows. Generating internal overpressure within bearing housings successfully blocks ingress of harsh scale particles, dust, and cooling water.

TURBOLUB pressure sensors and oil stream monitors

TURBOLUB instrumentation components provide continuous oversight of centralized air-oil lubrication systems. Optical oil flow sensors and compressed air pressure switches immediately signal any operational deviation, safeguarding expensive mill roll assemblies.

Standard electrical output interfaces for plant process automation systems
Heavy-duty IP67 environmental enclosure rating suitable for hot mill plants

Patented REBS TURBOLUB oil-air lubrication engineering

The patented TURBOLUB oil-air lubrication technology, developed by German manufacturer REBS Zentralschmiertechnik, provides an advanced method for delivering minimal metered quantities of industrial oil to heavily loaded friction points.

Continuous streams of compressed air transport oil droplets along pipe inner walls as a thin dynamic film. This operational method eliminates conventional oil starvation and guarantees uniform fluid distribution among roll neck bearings.

Bearing overheating caused by excessive grease application is completely eliminated, thereby substantially improving rolling mill durability.

Operational superiority of wear-free TLR-U dividers

A key engineering advantage of TURBOLUB TLR-U divider blocks is the total absence of moving pistons, spool elements, or mechanical springs. Splitting the oil-air flow relies entirely on precise aerodynamic channel geometry within the divider block.

Eliminating mechanical friction prevents wear of internal passages, stops valve seizure during cyclic pressure surges, and guarantees synchronized delivery to all outlet lubrication lines.

Wear-resistant divider blocks can be mounted directly inside harsh rolling stand zones where manual maintenance access is restricted.

Bearing protection through positive pneumatic air pressure

Beyond continuous fluid film delivery, the constant regulated stream of dry compressed air maintains positive overpressure within bearing housings. This pneumatic barrier prevents ingress of fine abrasive dust, hot rolling scale, cooling water emulsions, and airborne moisture into bearing chambers.

This protective action prevents abrasive wear of roll pathways and stops corrosion on precision roller components. Continuous pneumatic sealing doubles the operational lifespan of roll bearings and mill segments without unscheduled production stoppages.

Lubricant fluid reduction and environmental compliance

Deploying TURBOLUB central lubrication networks delivers substantial operational savings compared to conventional grease systems.

Field measurements across industrial steel mills confirm an impressive consumption ratio: approximately five tonnes of industrial oil using TURBOLUB technology replaces up to one hundred tonnes of heavy lubricating grease.

Precision micro-metering prevents oil leakage and splashing into machinery workspaces, protecting cooling water systems and ambient air. The technology complies with international environmental stewardship guidelines.

Modular architecture and auxiliary SAT satellite stations

For extensive industrial steel production lines spanning considerable distances, REBS developed the TURBOLUB SAT satellite configuration. The installation combines a main fluid preparation unit with auxiliary satellite posts located close to remote bearing clusters.

This layout eliminates line pressure drops and fluid phase separation over long pipeline runs. Modular engineering allows plant operators to add extra SAT stations when modernizing or expanding mill sections without rebuilding existing compressed air piping or primary pump units.

Preventive maintenance guidelines and diagnostic monitoring

Operational reliability of TURBOLUB air-oil assemblies is supported by comprehensive diagnostic monitoring instruments. Optical sensors continuously verify oil droplet delivery, while pneumatic pressure switches oversee compressed air network stability.

Routine maintenance procedures involve inspecting filter elements, checking pipe fitting integrity, and verifying supply air parameters. Technical selection of replacement divider blocks, seals, and mixing adaptors is performed using equipment nameplates to match specific plant operating parameters.
