1.4 Lubricant Cartridges and Battery Packs

1.4.1 Lubricant Cartridges

Each size lubricator has its own corresponding lubricant cartridge. Every grease cartridge

is filled with care and precision, and is centrifuged during the filling operation to avoid air

pockets in the cartridge that might create an air lock in the pump. Cartridges are not

reusable. The volume of grease in each cartridge is carefully calculated and the weight of

each cartridge depends on the specific weight of the lubricant inside.

PLI, LLC stocks over 250 different greases and oils for filling

lubricant cartridges, but almost any lubricant with a rating of NLGI-

2 or less is suitable for use in the MEMOLUB

HPS.

PLI does not recommend lubricants for a particular application. If a

MEMOLUB

user is uncertain of the type of lubricant to be used

PLI can often assist by providing general information. We can also

assist by referral to the Technical Services Department of the desired

lubricant manufacturer. These Technical Services Departments offer expert advice on the

lubricant requirements for specific applications and the product in their line best suited to

the need.

1.4.2 Battery Packs

A MEMOLUB

Battery Pack is delivered with each MEMOLUB

HPS replacement

cartridge. Each battery pack can empty a lubricant cartridge while operating at

continuous

temperatures as low as the following:

•

STANDARD Model 120 (120cc) cartridge:

+21

F (-5

•

MEGA Model 240 (240cc) cartridge:

+32

F (0°C)

•

GIGA Model 480 (480cc) cartridge:

+41°F (+5

For continuous operating temperatures lower than those shown, available cold-weather

lithium battery packs should be used.

Battery packs should be changed every time the lubricant cartridge is replaced to assure

proper voltage to the system; and each battery pack should only be used once. A new

battery pack is supplied with each replacement cartridge purchased.

1.4.3 Stocking

Cartridges and battery packs must be stored in cool, dark conditions (preferably in their

original packaging). The shelf-life of stored batteries is 2 years.

1.5 MEMOLUB

The MEMOLUB

EX is the same self-contained, battery powered lubricator as the

MEMOLUB

HPS model with a modified enclosure rated for limited hazardous

locations. This version is identified by the black motor base housing (see Appendix for

EX Ratings).
