Enhanced Force Feed Lubrication System
Increased Reliability and
Ease of Maintenance
Introducing the improved high pressure
force feed lubrication system from
Ariel. Improvements will be provided on
new units and available as aftermarket
upgrades beginning January 2012.
Injection Check Valves
One check valve with fewer fittings and
potential leak points is now used for all
pressure ranges. Reduction in size and
weight minimizes the effects of vibration
for increased reliability.
Old style
New style
Rupture Discs
Redesigned with increased accuracy
to avoid nuisance unit shut downs.
Resettable Pin Indicators
Balance Valves
Pressure Gauges
Now available as a new unit option
or aftermarket addition to simplify
troubleshooting.
Pressure gauges
installed on each balance
valve eases adjustment
and maintenance on
KBU:Z:B:V units.
Tube connections replace
threaded connections to
reduce fitting leakage, ease
gauge face alignment and
eliminate damage from
over-tightening. Gauges
have been repositioned
below divider blocks for
increased protection
where possible.

weight minimizes the effects of vibration
and keeps components out of the way.

No-Flow Monitoring Devices
Increased selection of ATEX certified
no-flow monitoring devices to meet your
needs.

Force Feed
Lubricator Pump
Improved manufacturing techniques
reduce leakage at threaded connections
and prevent thread damage.
Redesigned pump
assembly improves
pump priming, reduces
rolling resistance on
the camshaft, prevents
water intrusion into
the lubricator box and
minimizes connection
leakage.
