Central Lubrication - Oil Smoke

02/28/2006 4:10 PM

Tom Kreher writes:
An infant auto industry replaced steam with compressed air. Water in steam aided lubricity. With compressed air added lubricant was required. Introduction of the airline aerosol lubricator was a welcome answer. Today near robotic automation with PLC, and pneumatic devices perform amazing tasks with little adult supervision. That is until the Oiler appears with a dusty oil can and ladder to fill multiple airline aerosol lubricators. Centralized lubrication with Oil Smoke provides a lubricant ingredient in the compressed air. Oil Smoke is finer than mist, fog, pollen, many bacteria. It travels suspended in the air until turbulence and velocity in intermal passages coalesce and agglomerate the smoke into liquid lubricant precisely where required. It is time to retire the oil can, ladder and 75 year old concepts. Oil Smoke is a compelling idea who's time has come.

What is this doing here? Blatant commercialism!

03/01/2006 10:13 AM

According to the CR4 FAQ pages:

"Commercial Space - Do you have something to sell? A new product coming off the line? Tell us about it. Please note, stories in this category will not be posted to the home page."

If you checked the author's e-mail address you would see it is for a company, presumably his employer, who makes equipment for exactly what he is espousing. While "Oil Smoke", has not made it onto their product page yet, along with "Oil-fog" and "Micro-fog", I will bet it is either a trademark of their company or a generic name for a process their product makes.

Not that I am disagreeing with him, just questioning the appropriateness of placing this commercial on the Main Page of CR4!

In Machinery Lubrication magazine July/August 2006 issue, Jim Fitch's Editorial contends that "lubrication by force of habit" is past due for innovation and improvement. Innovation and improvement in all areas my slow offshore migration of US industry, manufacturing and employment. Our Oil Smoke systems are "an idea who's time has come". It can not be a bad thing to let others know that. Tom Kreher
