When reliability is vital.

Alemite Carbon Shield Systems deliver
TM

Atomized Oil Lubrication

system for rotating
machinery bearings,
gears and chains.
Proven in refineries,
petro-chem plants, and
many other applications
Our oil atomizing system
continuously deposits a virtually
friction free carbon layer on
points needing lubrication.
As a result, wear and tear is
significantly reduced and the
service life is greatly increased.
In numerous applications in
many industries, our systems
have a proven track record of
reducing down time by over
90%, lubricant consumption by
more than 40%, and operating
reliably for over 15 years.

Intelligence
Unlike other systems, we have built in intelligence that monitors every component
and reports warnings to maintenance personnel. The system
warns against pipe
D
blockage or leaks and accurately measures oil-to-air ratio quantitatively. Alemite
Carbon Shield systems are user friendly, providing access to information from
your intranet connection, with many languages available.

Hazardous location, 5 gallon SS reservoir, 9.7 CFM nozzle, 120 VAC control voltage, 1000 W
air heater, PLC and HMI, Modbus communication, SS NEMA 4X enclosure, cabinet cooling option,
Back-up unit, UL Listed for Class I Division 2 Groups B,C & D T4, auto refill, and HMI Protective Cover.

Options
Air Heater
Recommended option for locations where
temperature could reach 0F or lower. 1000W
rated unit is used with 9.7 CFM nozzles or
higher, and the 500W is used with 4.3 CFM
nozzles or lower.
Air heater, 120 VAC, 1000W - Part#: 387849-1
Air heater, 120 VAC, 500W - Part#: 387849-15
Air heater, 220 VAC, 1000W - Part#: 387849-2
Air heater, 220 VAC, 500W - Part#: 387849-25
Cabinet Cooling
Part No. 388027
Extremely useful and recommended option
wherever the ambient temperature is more than
104 F. The vortex cooling system conserves
energy and maintains enclosure temperatures
within a range of 80 to 90F. Requires only a
compressed air supply to operate.

Cabinet Purge
Part No. 388101
Recommended option for highly contaminated
locations, system works by supplying
compressed air at proper flow and pressure to
eliminate or reduce entry of contaminates to the
enclosure.

8
Auto Refill Option
Part No. 387838
The auto refill assembly along with the bulk oil tank
ensures that only clean filtered oil reaches the reservoir.

HMI Cover
Part No. 388030
The HMI Cover offers additional protection to
ensure long service time.

Modbus Communication Module

Part No. 388175
Communication module link the PLC to automation
system and allow easy access to native networks.

Accessories
Stainless Steel Mist Fittings
Mist fittings are used to meter the oil mist, and discharge
the mist at friction points needing lubrication. Stainless
steel fittings are recommended for refinery applications.

Part No. 388220

Oil Collection
Container
Part No. 388235

Recommended option for

automated systems, this
110 Gallon tank ensures oil
supply for prolonged time.
