XperLUBE – Digital Commonrail Lubrication
Mastering cylinder lubrication andcompressor reliability
Reliable cylinder lubrication is one of the most sensitive topics in the operation of reciprocating compressors. Incorrect oil metering can cause damage through both under- and over-lubrication. This, in turn, means unplanned downtime, costly production losses, or consequential damage elsewhere in the process.
Your lubrication experts
HOERBIGER developed XperLUBE to boost the performance and cost efficiency of your compressors. XperLUBE supplies your system with exactly the right amount of lubricant. At all times. Under any conditions.
XperLUBE: modern lubricant management

- Inspection intervals of the injectors are individually adjusted to maintenance intervals of the compressor
Simple setup, maximum effect:
The XperLUBE system unites value-adding functionalities with easy integration and maintenance. The idea behind XperLUBE is simple. By disconnecting the oil pressure generation from the process of injecting oil into the cylinder, lubrication precision is greatly increased. A high-pressure common rail supplies oil to the lubrication points. Metering and injection is achieved with injectors, one at each lube point. At the center of the system, a control unit monitors the performance of all injectors and adjusts lubrication rates according to preset parameters. The same injector and hydraulic unit models are used in all applications.
