Des-Case revolutionizes lubricant management: Advanced solutions for lube-room design, storage

Lube-room equipment is available from Des-Case.

Wainbee Limited supplies Des-Case equipment, including various options for lube-room design, storage, and handling. The manufacturer and supplier collaborate to design and configure lubricant storerooms – with the help of application engineers with decades of in-plant experience, employed to make expert recommendations based on every individual workspace.

Whether the customer wants to store lubricants in bulk, totes, barrels, or pails, Des-Case and Wainbee can create a tailored lube room for every specific need.

Colour-coded systems reduce risk

For many companies, lubricant storage and handling is the key to upgrading an average lubrication program into a great one. In addition to housing new lubricants properly, upgrading storage practices improves how oil and grease is handled and helps to overcome maintenance challenges. Wainbee and Des-Case recommend colour-coded systems to reduce the risk of using the wrong lubricant. Pre-filtration introduces clean oil into the system; using one pump per liquid eliminates cross-contamination; a clean environment boosts health and safety; and sealing to the atmosphere results in superior moisture and dust control.

Categories of Des-Case products that contribute to world-class lube rooms:

• Bulk storage. Customers can choose between LT-LMS or drum bulk storage. The LT-LMS solution combines filtration, storage, and breather technologies to keep lubricants clean before they enter equipment. Drums, meanwhile, can be modified with drum adapter kits, which adds desiccant breathers and quick-connect fittings – keeping contaminants out and making it simpler to connect filter carts to filters and dispense oil.
• Mobile filtration units. Des-Case’s wheeled filtration carts are the highest-quality, most rugged heavy-duty systems available for purifying all kinds of industrial oils. They can remove particles and free water even from high-viscosity gear oil.
• Oil-transfer containers. The market’s best, most rugged systems for transporting oil in small volumes. These heavy-duty containers simplify transport and dispensation of oil while keeping it free of contaminants. The valve system inside every dispensing top makes sure the container is sealed when not being used, while an optional quick-connect port makes oil filling quicker and cleaner.

Appropriate room design, storage, and handling for lubricants boosts pride and morale in every lubrication team.
