Lubrication management systems from Industrial Innovations have been implemented by Electrolux on its stamping presses at its new North American Cooking Products manufacturing center opening in Memphis, TN. Industrial Innovations, manufacturer of industrial lubrication equipment for operation in metalworking industries including die casting, metalforming, machining, and stamping, has provided equipment for lubricant proportional mixing, lubricant spraying capability, and a reclamation system.
Specifically, the solution consists of a Double Pro-Mix 5 Lubricating System capable of mixing two different lubricants of varying mixes simultaneously and 7 Spra-Rite pedestal systems (shown right) – portable lubricant applicators that regulate the volume and placement of lubricant at specific areas of stamping or drawing tools.
Recycling System Added
In addition, as the new plant has been designed for LEED, there is a Lubricant Recycling System for filtering of dirt particles and elimination of tramp oils that enables lubricant re-use.
Electrolux made the decision to use Industrial Innovations equipment based upon the results it obtained from a similar mixing and reclamation system installed at its Springfield, TN facility.
The Memphis facility, scheduled to start production in early 2013, will build the company’s Electrolux®, Electrolux ICON® and Frigidaire® built-in and specialty cooking products, including drop-in/slide-in ranges, wall ovens, specialty freestanding ranges, and cooktops.
