Single-feed oilers are a complete, self-contained assembly, including reservoir, needle valve, and brush in one unit with no external piping. Mount the unit at a position where chain sway is minimal. Single-feed units are the right choice for roller chain conveyors with a single accessible lubrication point, regardless of duty level. Multi-feed systems are required when multiple parallel chains or distributed lubrication zones need to be served from one central dispenser.

A toggle shutoff on single-feed units allows the operator to stop flow without disturbing the needle valve setting, so the drip rate is retained when the conveyor resumes.

Multi-feed systems lubricate separated points from a central reservoir. Two configurations are available:

• Single-line systems: A central full-flow dispenser feeds up to 24 valve brushes through a single pipe or line. Pressure dispenser configurations can feed up to 60 valve brushes from a single line for larger installations. Remote brush mounting allows installation in tight or restricted clearances. Shutting off the central dispenser stops flow to all brushes. Single-line systems suit roller chain conveyors with multiple parallel chains or distributed lubrication zones across wide conveyor widths.

• Multiple-line systems: A central dispenser distributes oil through 2–24 independent needle valves to widely separated points. Each valve is separately adjustable and locks with a friction lock. The modular stacking valve design allows field reconfiguration. Drip rate at every feed point is observed and controlled from one station.
