WE NOW CARRY THE YAMADA KPL-24 LUBRICATOR
Lubrication Technologies, Inc., of West Springfield Massachusetts, is excited to be Appointed the Sole Stocking U.S. Distributor for the YAMADA KPL-24 grease lubricator; a highly versatile grease pump and grease gun that can be used as a Stand-Alone Pump, with semi-automatic configurations when combined with a grease feeder distributor, lubrication lines and fittings to create a semi-automatic system. It also has fully automatic configurations functioning as the driving pump behind a fully automatic system when combined with an electric monitor, grease feeder distributor, lubrication lines and fittings.
With over 28 years of proven field service and having sold over 100,000 units, the Yamada KPL-24 is an electrically powered grease lubricator specifically designed for use on heavy construction machinery. It is powered by the internal DC 24V batteries standard in most heavy vehicles. The KPL-24 is compact, sturdy and provides maximum portability on any work site especially where there are no other readily available power sources. It fits directly onto a 5 gallon grease pail offering portability, cleanliness and versatility. It has a high discharge pressure and is capable of pumping grease of various viscosities.
“The KPL-24 has the ability to operate on just about any kind of mobile or stationary mining or construction equipment, as well as wind turbines,” notes David Piangerelli, President of Lubrication Technologies, “and it has a vibration resistance of 4G for all ground equipment.”

PROFESSIONAL LUBRICATION MANAGEMENT
Products and Services To Protect Assets, Save Time and Increase Profits.
An effective lubrication management program turns on Reliability-Centered Maintenance or RCM, a process to ensure that critical assets function at peak performance regardless of the harsh environmental conditions in which they run.
Without intervention, all machines will ultimately fail. And every failure has a direct or indirect operational impact on your company's bottom line. The goal of RCM strategies, then, is to attempt to understand failure modes in order to identify interventions that will avoid that result.
Saving time, resources and money while increasing the reliability of your equipment is at the core of our mission. At Lubrication Technologies, Inc, we understand the science behind reliability-centered maintenance and the critical role that lubrication management plays in the success of your program. That's why we offer 360° solutions to help you identify and prevent equipment failure.
We offer automatic lubrication systems, automatic grease lubrication system, auto lube systems for wheel loaders, auto lube systems for heavy equipment, auto lube systems for trucks, and components for all manufacturing, transportation, maintenance, and industrial applications. Complete systems and individual components available.

ULSD Problems: Lack of Lubrication and Increased Microbial Growth Rate
Prior to the introduction of ULSD, diesel fuel contained 500 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur, which had two positive effects. First, sulfur was a lubricant for seals in the fuel injectors and injector pumps. Most diesel engines built prior to the year 2000 relied heavily on this lubrication and were not made to run optimally on ULSD; its use could result in premature wear of fuel system components.
MINI-MAX
The MINI-MAX electric pump series can be adapted to suit many requirements with no mechanical modifications, even after installation. In fact, you can choose from different components that are perfectly compatible with each other and can be easily installed in order to be able to vary the configuration and the type of distribution.

We began in 1976 as an authorized manufacturer’s representative for Lubrication Engineers, Inc. a full line ISO 9000 certified manufacturer of premium performance lubricants designed to maximize equipment life and improve productivity and profitability in all types of industries. These products, and a significant following of loyal customers became the foundation and remain the core of our operation today..
In 1992 we added automatic lubrication systems to our offering and over time brought in a distinguished selection of related products and services designed to add value and enhance our customer’s operations. We now offer total Lubrication Management Solutions making us truly a “one stop shop” for any and all lubricant related products.
We believe there is no company with the exclusive product mix we offer and no other company with the commitment to service and responsiveness that we have become recognized for. Our World Class Lubrication Reliability Programs provide measurable results to those who think in terms of Total Cost of Ownership.
We pride ourselves on providing technically accurate and practical recommendations on our premium lubricants, rapid customer response, custom designed solutions and professional on-site turnkey system installations. We keep an extensive selection of lubricants, lubrication equipment, systems and fittings in our shop. We try to exceed customer expectations by doing the right thing all of the time and treating our customer's equipment like it is our own.
That is how we have built an extensive and impressive customer base across industries, satisfying one customer at a time. Today we enjoy the full confidence of our many clients who rely on us for all of their lubrication needs. Whether it's a new tri-axle dump truck, a multi-million dollar co-extrusion line, an entire paper machine, an 8 color press, a waste water treatment plant or a favorite boat, bike, or truck, we can help when it comes to maximizing equipment life and achieving performance levels rarely seen with other vendors.

In the petrochemical industry, bearing faults drive the majority of repair events for motors, pumps and compressors. In a study performed at 12 petrochemical plants, the data showed that approximately 60 percent of all motor repair events originated with bearing troubles.1 This number differs significantly for pumps and compressors because of the impact on equipment life due to the performance of mechanical seals. Historical data gathered at these 12 facilities showed that bearing problems represent approximately 70 percent of all repair events for motors and 30 to 35 percent for pumps and compressors. This climbs to 80 percent in equipment that is selected and supplied with lifetime lubrication.
