THE NEW ROBOLUBE "LINEAR" WAYSIDE LUBRICATOR PAT. PEND.

Robolube...The Best Just Keeps Getting Better

RBL, Inc./ Robolube is currently entering into final testing stages of an entirely new track mounted lubrication system.  RBL, Inc./Robolube has long been the industry leader in Hyrail Lubricators because of our innovative approach to applying new technology to an old concept.  Robolube innovations are now being applied to the old technology that is currently offered to the industry in wayside lubrication products.

RBL, Inc./Robolube has now designed a patent pending “Linear Lubrication” System that mounts in the center of the track.  Utilizing Robolube’s field proven hyrail lubricator technology, a linear activation system, when activated by the train’s presence, applies a bead of grease to the gage face for 5 feet.  This will provide enough lubricant for each train.  Because the application technology and the operational dependability is the same as a Robolube Hyrail Lubricator, all of the grease is consumed by the train and waste is virtually eliminated.  This feature, along with the fact that each application can be adjusted to only apply as little as 1 to 1.5 ounces of grease per train, saves enough in lubricant costs, that the Robolube Linear Lubricator is able to provide a quick ROI on the initial investment. 

In addition, utilizing a proven system that does not require any contact with the train’s wheels eliminates heavy maintenance costs associated with existing wayside lubricators.  Performance will be as dependable as with current Robolube Hyrail Lubricators.  This is extremely important since this new technology in trackside lubrication is obviously higher in cost than the existing, antiquated wayside systems.  This unit should be available to the Rail Industry in late Spring of 2012.

The New Robolube "Linear" Wayside Lubricator (Pat. Pend.) mounts easily in the middle of the track. Robolube’s innovative design utilizes the electric over hydraulic power Robolube System that has been “Field Proven” in day-to-day operations for the past 21 years. Since the introduction of the Robolube Hyrail Lubricator, Track Lubrication has evolved into an exacting process. Within this process, the amount of lubrication and its location are critical. The Robolube System utilizes small orifice sizes to reduce unnecessary grease usage and insures that only the right amount of lubricant is dispensed to the rail.
