of one lubricant reserve container, one or sev-
eral mixture regulating units as well as one or
several lubricant lines with spray nozzle.
The lubricant reserve container is put under
pressure via a compressed air connection,
whereby the lubricant is transported via a sys-
tem of ducts and lines to the spray nozzle. The
control valves mounted on the lubricant reserve
container regulate the necessary lubricant and
atomizer amount as well as set the inner pres-
sure of the lubricant reserve container.
The lubricant lines are laid out as coaxial lines in
order to transport the lubricant and atomizer to
the spray nozzle separately from one another.
There is a spray nozzle at the end of the lubri-
cant line which assists in the production of
aerosol. The lubricant is then transported di-
rectly to the lubricating point by the support air.

main air valve with which the central com-
pressed air supply can be cut.
The inner pressure of the lubricant reserve con-
tainer is displayed by a pressure gauge on the
cover plate of the lubricant reserve container.
The lubricant reserve container is filled with lu-
bricant via a lubricant inlet. When filling, observe
the maximum filling level marked on the lubri-
cant reserve container. The current filling level is
read with the help of the filling level indicator,

Lubricants

Spraying lubricants other than
those approved of by SKF or with
SKF minimum-quantity lubrica-
tion systems is prohibited.
Note that the spraying of mineral
oils or mineral oil-containing sub-
stances can be particularly
damaging to your health.
The lubricants stipulated for use in SKF mini-
mum-quantity central lubrication systems have
chemical and physical characteristics specially
developed to meet the high demands of the
minimum-quantity lubrication system technol-
ogy used.
