Prevost ALTO Regulator-Lubricator

Description

Prevost ALTO Regulator-Lubricator (2-in-1 Unit)

Integrated Control and Constant Protection for Air-Driven Equipment

The Prevost ALTO Regulator-Lubricator is a dual-stage air preparation unit designed to extend the life of your pneumatic tools while ensuring they operate at maximum efficiency. By combining a high-precision pressure regulator with a micro-mist lubricator, this unit ensures that your equipment receives perfectly pressurized air treated with a consistent, atomized oil mist.

It is the ideal solution for protecting high-speed internal components like those found in impact wrenches, air motors, and pneumatic cylinders.

Key Features

• Precision Pressure Management: The regulator stage features a “push-to-lock” adjustment knob, ensuring your tools receive a steady PSI regardless of fluctuations in the main supply line.
• Proportional Oil Delivery: The ALTO lubricator uses a sophisticated venturi system to deliver an oil mist in direct proportion to the airflow. Whether you are using a small air drill or a large impact gun, the lubrication scales automatically to meet the demand.
• Fine-Tuning Drip Control: Equipped with a clear sight-dome and a needle-valve adjustment, allowing operators to visually monitor the oil drop rate and calibrate the lubrication level to the specific requirements of the downstream tools.
• Refill Under Pressure: Designed for industrial uptime, the lubricator can be refilled without shutting down the entire air line, ensuring continuous production and zero downtime.
• Compact Modular Design: Combining these two functions into a single assembly reduces the overall footprint and minimizes the number of potential leak points compared to using separate components.
• Rugged Industrial Build: Features a high-grade metallic body and reinforced bowls with protective guards, built to withstand the vibrations and impacts of a busy manufacturing or automotive environment.

Why Combine Regulation and Lubrication?

Running air tools at the wrong pressure causes mechanical stress, but running them “dry” causes friction-induced heat and seal failure. The ALTO Regulator-Lubricator addresses both issues simultaneously. By regulating the power and lubricating the movement, you significantly reduce maintenance costs and prevent the “sluggish” performance often associated with unlubricated pneumatic vanes and pistons.

Ideal Applications

• Heavy-Duty Mechanical Shops: Essential for maintaining the internal rotors of impact wrenches and air ratchets.
• Pneumatic Assembly Lines: Ensures constant lubrication for air-driven screwdrivers and nut runners.
• Woodworking Shops: Protects the cylinders in pneumatic clamps and sanding stations from drying out.
• Automated Machinery: Provides a consistent oil supply to directional control valves and large-bore cylinders.

Note: This unit is intended for tools requiring lubrication. It should not be used for paint spraying or breathing air applications.
