MEMOLUB® EPC
Single-Point Lubricator

The MEMOLUB® EPC is an externally controlled electromechanical lubricator that can be installed on a single lube point or coupled with a progressive distribution valve to lubricate from 2 to 12 points. This model can be wired to an external switch, relay or PLC to give you the on/off lubrication required for intermittently used equipment.
  • Reliable lubrication when you want it, reduce equipment downtime
  • Reusable pump - low cost replaceable lube cartridges
  • 52 programmable duration settings
  • Battery powered with external on/off function
  • 2 year lubricator warranty

Part Numbers:
MLEPC120 - MEMOLUB EPC Model 120cc

Memolub EPC Pillow Block

The MEMOLUB® EPC lubricator automatically delivers a small, precise amount of lubricant at regular intervals for an continuous supply of fresh lubricant directly to your lube point. Prevents over and under lubrication problems related to manual lubrication.

  • 120, 240 or 480cc lubricant capacity
  • 350psi max output pressure from start to finish
  • Use with Oil or Grease (up to NLGI #2)
  • Remote mount up to 40 feet from the lube point
  • Use in intermittently used applications
Memolub EPC - Pillow Block Bearing

All MEMOLUB® EPC models use the same motor base assembly, making it easy to convert from one lubricant capacity to another by simply purchasing a low cost transparent housing kit.

The on/off function of the MEMOLUB® EPC is controlled by an external switch. The 12 inch cable that extends from the bottom of the lubricator serves to interrupt the electric circuit to the drive motor. When a switch or relay closes the circuit, the MEMOLUB® EPC first goes through an output cycle and then proceeds to operate under its own preset program control. When the circuit is opened the lubrication process stops

Simple MEMO Programming

The MEMOLUB® EPC lubricant output is programmed using the simple MEMO system. It consists of a brass MEMO fitting, a black plastic timing-ring holder, and three plastic timing rings (one white, one red, and one black). The MEMO can be programmed to control both the frequency of lube cycles and the volume of lubricant discharged. Once the MEMO is programmed and installed any MEMOLUB® EPC lubricator will recognize the settings. The program settings can be changed at any time, should your application require more or less lubricant.

Basic Frequency Settings

There are 7 basic frequency settings that are suitable for most industrial applications.  They are programmed by installing one or a combination of the three colored timing rings into the ring holder attached to the brass fitting. When you screw the MEMOLUB® lubricator onto the brass fitting, the timing rings depress the switches on the bottom of the lubricator. This activates the lubricator program.

Note: The "Months to Empty" is based on continuous use of the MEMOLUB® EPC lubricator. The lubricant cartridge will last longer with intermittent use.

Adjusting the Volume of Lubricant

Included in the MEMO kit is eight spacer washers for adjusting the amount of lubricant discharged per lube cycle. Installing one, or a combination of all eight washers, into the brass MEMO fitting will limit the stroke length of the piston inside the lubricator.

Memolub
Application Case Study
Case Study No. 403
Industry:
Automotive
Application:
Industrial Washer
Issue:
An industrial washer in a truck engine plant has a pump and an orientation gear. The customer was using "gas generator" type lubricators to service the 3 pump bearings and orientation gear. Pump bearings were failing because the lubricant was getting clogged in the lines. The lubricators servicing the orientation gear were neglected because they were located inside the gear's protective cage, making them difficult to access. Months of no lubrication led to premature tooth wear.
Solution:
All single-use lubricators were replaced with two 3-point lubrication systems. For the orientation gear, the lubrication system was remote-mounted outside the cage, for easy access. This not only made visual inspection of the lubs level easier, but also allowed for quick servicing of the lube system without the need for shutting down the washer.

Application Case Study
Case Study No. 021819 - Lubricating Electric Motor Bearings
250hp Electric Motor Lubrication
Application:
Motors & Generators
Industry:
Energy Industry
Background:
Our customer needed a solution to automatically lubricate the 250 hp electric motors located on the roof top.
Issue:
Because these motors were in a very high location, the maintenance personnel had to climb several stories to manually lubricate the bearings.
Solution:
Drive shaft bearing: Installed a single-point MEMOLUB® Mega lubricators filled with Mobil Polyrex EM grease with a change-out setting of 3 months. Support bearing: Installed a single-point MEMOLUB® HPS Standard filled Mobil Polyrex EM grease with a change-out setting of 3 months.
Results:
Streamlined their lubrication program and improved workplace safety.
Worth Mentioning:
Power Lube Industrial recommends the plastic Protective Cover for outdoor applications.
