Unique lubrication system
extends chain life
It was Leonardo da Vinci who said that
‘simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’
and, with Interlube’s unique chain
lubrication system, it seems that the
simple ideas really are the best.
The revolutionary Rotalube® system
significantly extends chain life and
reduces maintenance costs which is
paramount in today’s competitive global
market place.
With applications as diverse as theme
park rides, car manufacturing plants and
bakery ovens, Rotalube® is a precise
method of lubricating chain - a patented
invention that delivers the right amount of
lubricant to the exact point of the chain
that enables lubricant to penetrate into
the bearing areas.
Comparable drip feed, manual application,
brush application and spit/spray systems
– while better than no lubrication - have
varying degrees of success and can
struggle to hit the right spot, especially
when chain speeds fluctuate.
AC MULTI-OUTLET GREASE PUMPS
Rotalube’s® simple yet precise
technology is not affected by speed
fluctuation - it simply delivers the right
amount of lubricant to the right place
every time, lubricating more accurately,
efficiently, reliably and reducing lubricant
consumption.
Designed by people who know chain
and concept proven at University of
Lancaster, the calibre and pedigree of
the engineering team that has taken
this product from concept to creation
is unequalled Rotalube® has a unique
porting system that meters lubricant
through precision ejectors incorporated
within the sprocket assembly. Although
simple in principle, the science is
complex. The interaction from the chain
rotates the sprocket applicator and when
the ports align within the sprocket body
the pressure within the system over
comes the back pressure of the ejector
nozzles, this results in lubricant delivered
onto the link plates of the chain precisely
and reliably. From then on the science of
capillary action takes over and results in
a perfectly lubricated chain that – crucially
- extends chain life.
solutions using Rotalube® technology for
other sizes are available on request.
Interlube has developed a new low cost
“ACR” pump specifically to operate with
standard Rotalube® applicators. The 24V
DC “ACR” pump has fully adjustable run
and dwell settings and is pre programmed
to open and shut a solenoid valve that will
allow air to mix with the metered oil output
from the pump.
The system can be used throughout the
food, automobile, steel, fiberglass and
cement industries. Typical applications
that can benefit include food processing
machines, industrial dryers, tissue
converting factories, waste paper
conveyors, truck manufacturing plants,
escalators and elevators.

systems. The company recently designed
