Whether you manage a machine shop, a manufacturing plant, or agricultural machinery, Exim Engineering’s L5P Lubricators are designed to elevate your lubrication strategy.

What is an L5P Lubricator?

An L5P Lubricator is a type of precision pump used in manual and automatic lubrication systems. It is specifically engineered for light- to medium-duty machinery, providing consistent lubrication to moving parts. This reduces friction, minimizes wear and tear, and helps maintain optimal performance.

Why Choose L5P Lubricators?

• Reliable Performance: Designed for accurate oil delivery in diverse conditions.

• Versatile Mounting Options: Suitable for a variety of machine configurations.

• Durable Construction: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments.

• User-Friendly Maintenance: Easy to refill, clean, and install.

Applications of L5P Lubricators

L5P Lubricators are used across a wide range of sectors:

• Machine Tools (e.g., Bridgeport milling machines, ENCO lathes)

• Agricultural Equipment (e.g., New Holland machinery)

• Industrial Automation Systems

• Packaging Equipment

• Textile Machinery

Whether you are running a single machine or a multi-unit production line, L5P Lubricators ensure your lubrication system performs optimally with minimal manual intervention.
