Hearing the demand for “greener” solutions from parts manufacturers, Atlas Technologies, LLC in Fenton, MI now offers a “New Environmentally Friendly” Spray Oiler System for blank material processing, the GEN II Flex Spray Oiler system.
Previous spray oiler application methods use air atomizing technology that is messy, producing excessive lubricant waste into the air and production areas, creating an unsafe environment. The GEN II Flex Spray Oiler offers a unique spray nozzle design that is cleaner, safer and “greener”.
Atlas’ GEN II Flex Oiler provides a spray nozzle application called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). This technique is precise and repeatable putting the oil on the blank, not in the air, minimizing lubricant overspray.
A secondary mist collection is not required in most applications, resulting in a cleaner and safer pressroom area. Significant cost savings have been reported due to decreased fluid usage and the absence of compressed air usage.
The PWM design offers dial in application rates over a broad range while still utilizing the same fluid pressure, nozzle spacing and orifice size. Results indicate an improved fluid transfer rate of 90 percent PWM verses 50 percent for air atomized nozzles. This versatile and precise application method results in cost efficiencies in fluid consumption and aspiration maintenance.
