Apex Coil Lubrication System™

Product Info

Intelligent can stock lubrication

The Apex™ system for cupping press coil lubrication is an upgrade to Unist's proven Uni-Roller® technology and utilizes an electronically-controlled, positive-displacement pump to provide precise and repeatable volumes of lubricant to the coil. The positive-displacement pump is not impacted by changes in fluid viscosity which allows consistent application of lubricant regardless of ambient temperature. PLC-based controls allow for easy setup, troubleshooting, and monitoring of the Apex™ system both at the press and remotely using ethernet connectivity.

  • Consistent application regardless of temperature or viscosity
  • Easy to use interface
  • Totalizer: Track fluid use
  • Detect issues before they interrupt production

Active monitoring: Keeps you running

The Apex™ system features active monitoring to detect potential issues before they surface and an alarm history feature to view previous alarm states. A color touch screen interface displays all critical system parameters and makes adjusting the amount of lubricant on your coil simple. The Unist Apex™ system also tracks the total lubricant dispensed, making it easy to monitor lubrication costs.
