Tri-Hawk to Install Lube System for Press Lines
A Pro-Mix V proportional mixing system with piping, nozzles and manifolds from Industrial Innovations will deliver lubrication directly to four Aida press lines.
Posted: December 13, 2014
Industrial Innovations, Inc. (Grandville, MI) has announced a new contract with Austin Tri-Hawk Automotive ( Austin, IN), a manufacturer of automotive structural supports. The contract includes a Pro-Mix V proportional mixing system and the necessary piping, nozzles and manifolds for the system to deliver lubrication directly to four Aida press lines.
Plant-wide lubrication systems provide complete and consistent control over the lubrication application process. With this approach, thoroughly mixed lubricants are produced at a central location and distributed via an in-plant piping network throughout the manufacturing facility for use at each press. In addition to consistent lube control and delivery, there is almost no labor costs associated with the process, plus lubrication and waste hauling expenses are reduced.
Pro-Mix blenders are capable of mixing, pressurizing and distributing a variety of lubricants. The lubricant mixture is then delivered via a Spra-Rite applicator solution consisting of manifolds and nozzles. The manifolds feature independently controlled ejector valves with settings for skip cycle counting, delay spray, and volume control, all allowing for very precise positioning and application of the lubricant to the workpiece. These systems are equipped with Industrial Innovations Z-series nozzles, which are 99.5 percent drip-free.
Industrial Innovations is a leading manufacturer of industrial lubrication equipment for operation in metalworking industries including metal forming, die casting, machining and stamping. Founded in 1981, the company is known for its comprehensive approach to lubrication solution development, supported by the effective engineering principles, reliable components and quality construction of its equipment.
