ALEMITE LUBRICATION EQUIPMENT AND FLUID HANDLING PRODUCTS Oil Mist Systems Introduction Alemite Oil Mist Systems are used to service all types of machine elements that require continuous lubrication, such as chain driven and rolling element bearings equipment. Delivering a fresh continuous mist of clean oil, an Alemite Oil Mist System has no moving parts and promises a longer useable life. Since they use less lubricant, these systems are extremely cost-effective options for a number of lubrication applications. Markets/Applications Pulp & Paper, Food Processing, Textile, Lumber, Steel Mills, Printing, Mining, Chemicals and Machine Tool Typical Applications Rolling element bearings Plain bearings Slides and ways Gears Chains High-speed machinery Spindles Conveyors Alemite Dual Line Systems include: 176 Pint/Gallon Lubricator Models... 177 Medium-Output Generators... 178 High-Output Generators... 179 High-Output Generators with Thermo-e Heater Kit... 180 Fittings and Nozzles... 181 Oil Mist Accessories... 185 See Also: Oil Mist Accessories... 232
