System Overview
Purpose-Built for Grease Production
The Grease Manufacturing System handles the demanding requirements of industrial grease production — combining high-shear mixing, precise temperature control, and consistent processing to produce NLGI-grade lubricating greases.
From base oil and thickener saponification through milling, deaeration, and cooling, the system maintains tight process control to deliver uniform texture, penetration, and drop point characteristics batch after batch.
Ideal for lithium, calcium, polyurea, and aluminum complex grease formulations used in automotive, mining, steel, and heavy machinery applications.
Who This Is For
- Grease manufacturers scaling batch production
- Lube blenders adding grease to their product line
- Industrial compounders requiring high-viscosity mixing
- Facilities replacing open-kettle processes with closed systems

Outcomes
Operational Benefits
Batch Consistency
Controlled temperature and shear deliver uniform NLGI grade every batch.
Faster Cycle Times
Integrated heating and cooling circuits reduce batch-to-batch waiting.
Reduced Waste
Closed-system processing minimizes oxidation and contamination losses.
Operator Safety
Closed kettles and automated controls reduce exposure to hot materials.
