Oil Mist Lubrication Systems

Proven Technology

Oil mist lubrication systems are a proven technology developed in Europe for industrial use in the 1930s and first used in refineries by Chevron and Exxon in the late 1960s. Systems can be incorporated into new projects or retrofitted into existing facilities. Applications include pump, electric motors, gear boxes and in some cased turbines and pillow block bearings.
