From a compact 3-litre lubricator for a CNC machine to a large, multi-point lubrication system serving critical mining equipment, Prolube designs each system around the specific requirements of the application.

Our engineers work from the customer’s requirements to determine the appropriate pumps, distribution, filtration, instrumentation, controls and safety components. Whether the application requires low or high pressure, pneumatic, electric or manual pumping, or a simple lubrication arrangement or a fully automated system, the solution is designed to suit the job.

Every system is then brought to life in our workshop. Prolube’s draughtsmen produce detailed drawings for fabrication and assembly, while our workshop team handles the manufacturing, building and painting of the system in-house. From reservoirs and pumps to reversing valves, safety relief and dump valves, filtration, level and temperature monitoring, PLC control panels and spray lances — we can engineer the complete package.

And sometimes, the solution requires more than just a lubrication system.

For Gold1’s New Kleinfontein Mine, Prolube engineered two complete lubrication systems into a refurbished shipping container, creating a self-contained, drop-in lubrication room. The container was refurbished and fitted with flooring, lighting, a door and air conditioning to provide a controlled environment for the equipment.

That is what custom engineering means to Prolube: designing around the application, rather than forcing the application to fit a standard product.

But our involvement doesn’t end when the system leaves the workshop. Prolube provides after-sales service and technical support to help customers keep their systems operating effectively throughout their service life. Whether a client needs a new system designed from the ground up or an existing system modified or upgraded, we remain involved long after installation.

Because a lubrication system should be more than a collection of components.

It should be a complete solution, engineered to your specification, built to perform and supported for the long haul.
