Learn more about Hj Lubricators and cylinder lubrication systems and the work that they do on marine vessels.
What sets HJ Lubricators apart from the competition is a strong belief in innovation and precise injection of cylinder lubricating oil in the right amount at each piston stroke, to maintain a stable oil fil.
By adjusting the stroke length for every lube point according to the load of the engine HJ Lubricator can keep a set feed rate.
To maintain good cylinder conditions and be ready for future prevailing fuels and engine designs.
Mechanical lubricators are driven by a shaft synchronized with the main engine while electronically controlled lubricators run by hydraulic.
Installation times vary from engine type and the lubricator system. Typically, 4-7 working days involve assistance from the crew or drydock.
A major part of the installation process can be carried out during sea voyages or port stays but some immobilisation should be expected.
HJ Lubricators can be installed on all two-stroke marine engines from MAN, Wärtsilä/WinGD, and J-ENG/Mitsubishi.
SIP – swirl injection principle – is an HJ Lubricator’s patented way of distributing the lube oil into the combustion chamber in an atomized spray on the upper liner wall.
