OIL TRANSFER IS MORE THAN MOVING OIL FROM A TO B
Every time lubricant is transferred, there is an opportunity for contamination, moisture ingress, incorrect handling or loss of control.
A conventional setup often means combining separate pumps, filters, hoses, meters and protection devices — and then making sure they all work together.
The result?
- More components.
- More connections.
- More manual intervention.
- More opportunities for contamination.
ALEX changes the process.
It brings the critical elements of reliable lubricant handling together in one integrated system.

Introduction to Lubristation™ ALEX
Turning Reliability into Reality
ALEX delivers Lubrication Reliability without requiring a custom lube room project
Reliability starts here
Reliability starts here
Industrial equipment does not fail because of one single cause. Lubricant contamination is one of the factors that can significantly affect equipment reliability.
ALEX is designed to keep lubricants clean, dry, correctly identified and controlled from storage to the point of application.
Its ergonomic design makes lubricant handling safer and easier for operators, while integrated filtration, protection and monitoring help maintenance teams establish a more consistent lubrication process.
From the lubricant container to the machine — ALEX controls the journey.
Contamination-Free Transfer
Integrated filtration removes particles during every dispensing cycle, ensuring only clean oil enters your machinery.
Extended Equipment Life
By reducing lubricant-related failures, Alex directly extends machinery lifespan and reduces unplanned downtime.
PdM-Ready
Digital consumption monitoring and oil sampling ports integrate seamlessly into your condition monitoring programme.
Best Practice Lubrication
Supports Lubrication Reliability Best Practice - improving safety, housekeeping, and operational discipline across your facility.
“With ALEX, we have taken everything we know about Lubrication Reliability™ and distilled it into a single unit that any maintenance team can install and trust from day one. It is not just a fluid dispenser - it actively improves fluid quality and increases machine reliability every time it is used.”
Lubretec bv - Toon Van Grunderbeeck
FOUR CRITICAL FUNCTIONS. ONE COMPACT UNIT.
ALEX combines four essential lubrication functionsin one integrated industrial system.
in one integrated industrial system.
Controlled Dispensing
Heavy-duty pneumatic transfer provides controlled lubricant delivery with clean, safe dispensing.
Oil Conditioning
Integrated filtration removes particulate contamination during transfer.
10 µm standard filtration
3 µm option available
Protection
A desiccant breather helps protect the lubricant from dust and moisture entering the storage container.
Dust caps and protected connections help prevent contamination when the system is not in use.
Monitoring
Digital metering, totalisation and oil sampling provide visibility of lubricant consumption and support condition monitoring.
The Alex system is fully explained throughout this website.

Oil Dispensing tap
The oil dispensing tap enables controlled, clean and accurate lubricant dispensing, reducing spills and minimising the risk of contamination.
Suction & Return hoses
The suction and return hoses create a closed-loop circulation system, continuously drawing lubricant from the drum or tank and returning it after filtration to maintain oil cleanliness and prevent contamination.
Drum adapter + integrated suction and return tube
The drum adapter provides a secure and leak-free connection between the Lubristation™ Alex and the lubricant drum, ensuring safe and efficient oil transfer. Suction tube cut to length to cater for different drum sizes.
Extra adapter for external hose reel/flexible hose
The extra adapter provides additional reach and flexibility, enabling clean and convenient lubricant transfer to multiple filling or dispensing points.
Lubricant Identification
Colour and symbol coding helps prevent lubricant mix-ups.
Lube ID Kit
10 colour and symbol combinations compatible with OilSafe® systems - ensures the right lubricant enters the right machine, every time.

Lubricant cleanliness matters.
ALEX allows lubricant to be filtered and recirculated before it reaches the machine, helping maintenance teams establish a controlled approach to lubricant cleanliness.
FAQ - Lubristation™
Alex
FAQ - Lubristation™ Alex
FAQ - Alex - All in one Lubrication Excellence
What does ALEX stand for ?
All-in-one Lubrication Excellence
Why do I need to filter new Lubricants ?
New lubricants are mostly not as clean as required by OEM machinery specifications.
OEM will recommend ISO 4406 class cleanliness and you should compare with the ISO value of your new lubricant. Lubristation™ Alex will recondition the oils by loop filtration to the desired cleanliness level.
How long do I need to do the circulation filtration ?
Depending on the desired ISO 4406 cleanliness level the oil needs to circulate and pass the filter at least 5-7 times ( rule of thumb ). Based on the average flow rate of the pump we suggest to circulate at least 1 hour .
Of course the higher the cleanliness requirement ( eg hydraulic oils ) the longer the filtration time. Optional 3 µ filter cartridges are available in order to even get better cleanliness results.
What is the sample port for ?
In a Lubrication Reliability Program it is recommended to sample each new oil before use. For 2 reasons : 1. have a base reference for later oil sampling on machinery and 2. to control cleanliness level at the end of loop filtration.
Samples of new received lubricant - before loop filtration - can also be used to register and compare to the cleanliness level noted by the lube supplier.
Why a desiccant breather and when should I exchange it ?
Professional industrial type Desiccant breathers protect the lubricants from ingress contamination like dust, particles, moisture. When oil leaves the drum, environmental air will replace the space .
The Lubesec desiccant breather contains ( non toxic, non cobalt blue ) saturation indicators and the yellow/orange beads will change to dark green when the unit is ready for exchange.
What is the use of the digital consumption meter ?
When dispensing lubricants over the plant equipment it can be very useful to track oil consumption. These data are used to manage historic or trending consumption of lubricants and can be compared to standard oil consumption.
With identification of anomalies, machine reliability issues can be detected in advance.
How about remixing Lubricants ?
Lubristation™Alex is ideal for remixing lubricants with high additive contents in suspension.
Some MoS² , Cu , Graphite based additives tend to settle while stored in drums. A perfect mixture can be obtained using the Lubristation™Alex without filter option in order to recirculate high content additives before dispensing and transfer to machinery.
It is never recommended to use filtration with these type of lubricants.
How do I mount Lubristation™ Alex ?
The Alex unit is extremely easy to mount to any vertical wall in case of operation with 20-50-200 L drums. The cabinet backside is designed to mount directly with screws/anker bolds or similar.
In lube room containers with corrugated steel walls, a intermediate U-profile can be used. On IBC’s, direct mounting frames are also available.
A stand alone ( not wall fixed ) frame with integrated retention tank will be available soon.
Just connect air pressure, drum or IBC or Tank and you are ready to go.
How quickly can ALEX be installed?
Most installations can be completed by a single technician using standard workshop tools. Depending on the mounting location and air supply availability, commissioning can typically be completed within a few hours.
Is ALEX CE certified?
Yes. Lubristation™ ALEX is CE certified and designed for industrial environments.
Where can I obtain spare parts and accessories?
All filters, breathers, adapters, hose reels, meters and accessories are available directly through Lubretec and LubeworX.
