Lubristation LCU – Lubricant Conditioning Unit
Lubricants often become contaminated during storage and transfer. Dirt, particles, and moisture reduce oil quality, leading to equipment failures, costly downtime, and wasted resources.
Typical problems:
Contamination during transfer from drums
Poor filtration or no filtration at all
Inconsistent oil handling practices
Reduced reliability of machinery
The Solution: Lubristation LCU
The Lubristation™ LCU is a stand-alone lubricant conditioning unit – a fully equipped container in which all storage, filtration, and dispensing components are built in. Designed for 200-litre and 50-litre drums, the LCU provides a self-contained, ready-to-use solution for professional lube room management.
Each LCU is delivered as a complete system: drums, pumps, three-way filtration, dispensing points, and safety features are all pre-installed inside a secure, weather-resistant housing. This ensures your lubricants are stored, conditioned, and dispensed in a controlled environment, even in challenging industrial settings.
Built to meet the highest standards of lubrication reliability, the LCU not only keeps oils in peak condition but also helps eliminate contamination risks, streamline maintenance work, and extend the service life of your machinery.

How does the LCU work?
The LCU operates as a closed-loop system:
Bulk storage – Oils remain sealed inside 200 L or 50 L drums.
Drum connection – sealed suction hose connects securely to 200 L drums.
Filtration on transfer – Pneumatic pumps feed oil through a dedicated three-way high-flow hydraulic filter (10 µm standard).
Clean dispensing – oil delivered via hose and tap bar into OilSafe cans or machinery.
Circulation mode – optional recirculation keeps oil conditioned while stored.
Heavy-duty pneumatic pump → reliable, powerful oil transfer
High-flow hydraulic filter with saturation indicator → guaranteed oil purity
Circulation filtration → maintains lubricant cleanliness in storage
Integrated air breather dryer → prevents moisture ingress
Quick-connect suction hose with anti-return valve → safe and simple operation
Compact wall-mounted design → space-saving and easy to integrate
