How the MiQueL air-oil system works

MiQueL is a pneumatic air-oil minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) system. It combines compressed air with finely metered oil and carries the resulting mixture to the lubrication points, where a constant, controlled film is applied with very little lubricant. Up to 8 outlets can be supplied, each individually controlled via its own solenoid valve, so different points receive exactly the timing and quantity they need. A flow-compensation valve keeps the delivery pressure constant at around 2 bar, ensuring an even, repeatable supply across all outlets. MiQueL is part of DropsA's wider minimum quantity lubrication range.

Frequently asked questions about MiQueL

What is MiQueL used for?

MiQueL is a pneumatic air-oil minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) system that applies a clean, controlled oil film to lubrication points such as chains, guides, bearings and open gears, using very little lubricant.

How many outlets can MiQueL supply?

Up to 8 outlets, each individually controlled via its own solenoid valve, so points running on different cycles each receive the right timing and quantity.

How is an even supply ensured?

A flow-compensation valve holds the delivery pressure constant at around 2 bar, giving an even, repeatable supply across all outlets.

What delivery quantities are possible?

Variable delivery from approximately 0.2 cm³/min per outlet, set to match each lubrication point.

What are the benefits of MQL over flood lubrication?

By applying only the small quantity actually required, MiQueL keeps the work area clean, reduces oil consumption and avoids the contamination caused by over-lubrication.
