Way of functioning
ACOVAL microlubrication systems of the FLUX type are continuous lubrication systems. The air flow is continuous.
Micropumps regularly deliver an amount of liquid. The gas smooths the liquid flow at the nozzle.
They can be used:
- to regularly deliver amounts of liquid without using air as carrier
- most often with a nozzle which focuses or sprays the liquid with compressed air. The air produces a continuous liquid flow.
Duty cycle
Generally, micropumps work several times between the start-up and the shutdown of systems.
If the duty time is shorter than the elapsed time between two micropump cycles, systems work almost as ECOPULS systems or ACOPULS systems.
Applications
ECOFLUX systems
are often used:
- to lubricate tools in long machinin operations.
- to lubricate small and medium sheet metals before stamping. Usually, large sheet steels are lubricated by ACOVAL spray systems.
- to lubricate high speed stamping tools.
- to lubricate mechanic systems, conveyors, chains.
- to spray liquids (water, solvents, demolding products, rust inhibitors.
Models
These models without a cabinet
generally include between one and six micropumps.
The liquid flow of each micropump is adjustable.
There is only one air flow setting or an air flow setting for each nozzle.
Standard configurations
These systems are fitted with:
- a 300 ml tank
- for each micropump:
- a 1.5 meter transparent coaxial hose
- a copper coaxial nozzle with its fastening
Standard options
- 0.5 ; 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 5 ; 9 ; 10 litre tank
- Low level switch
- Automatic filling device
- Micropump selection by groups
- Attachment magnet under the system
- Attachment magnets for the nozzles
- Half capacity micropumps
- Double capacity micropumps
- VITON seals
- Stainless steel sheathed coaxial hoses
- Nozzles
