ReliaMAX® LubeTool MQL System for Industrial High-Temperature Chain Lubrication

Certain high-temperature chain lubricants rely on suspended solid additives to provide protection under extreme operating conditions. The challenge is that these solids must remain continuously suspended within the lubricant to ensure consistent application and performance. If the additives begin settling inside the reservoir, lubricant delivery can become inconsistent and system reliability can suffer. To solve this problem, we designed and assembled a fully self-contained ReliaMAX™ LubeTool MQL lubrication system specifically engineered for lubricants containing wear-reducing solids.

This custom-built mobile lubrication cart combines continuous agitation, fluid recirculation, and precision micro-lubrication into a single portable package designed for industrial chain lubrication applications. The system utilizes a 50-liter reservoir equipped with a continuous-duty agitator to keep solids suspended during operation, while a continuously operating diaphragm recirculation pump circulates lubricant throughout the tank to further prevent settling and maintain a uniform lubricant mixture.

The lubrication assembly also incorporates a ReliaMAX™ LubeTool micropump package housed inside a dedicated control enclosure featuring a frequency generator, 24 VDC air solenoid valve, and filter regulator assembly. The system delivers lubricant through precision air/oil spray nozzles designed to apply an extremely fine and controlled lubricant spray directly onto moving chains. This low-volume application method helps reduce lubricant waste while ensuring proper lubricant coverage at critical chain components.

To improve portability and simplify positioning within industrial facilities, all major components were mounted to a heavy-duty rolling service cart complete with locking caster wheels and preassembled mounting structures. The cart-mounted configuration allows the system to be relocated where needed while maintaining all lubrication, agitation, and recirculation functions within a compact self-contained unit.

This system was specifically designed for use with Lubrication Engineers Almasol® High Temperature Chain Lubricant (2799), a lubricant containing solid wear-reducing additives that require continuous agitation and recirculation to maintain proper suspension prior to application. It may be used with other solids containing lubricants. By combining continuous mixing, recirculation, and precision lubricant delivery, this custom ReliaMAX™ LubeTool system provides a reliable solution for challenging high-temperature chain lubrication applications where conventional systems may struggle to maintain lubricant consistency.
