Wetting is a particular type of minimal lubrication, in which a certain piece is “moistened” by a source rich in lubricant.
Proper wetting of components such as injectors is essential to ensure optimal performance and long-lasting durability.
B-Fluid designs and manufactures wetting systems based on customer requirements.
Download the Technical Data SheetAutomatic wetting without manual contact, oil protected by a dust guard.
Simultaneous oiling of 12 injectors, with 2 o-rings each in less than 10 seconds.
Wetting absolutely free of drops and/or dripping, thanks to a system designed specifically for the components in production.
A mechanical gear system simultaneously rotates the 12 parts, which is monitored by as many laser sensors. The oil level is mechanically guaranteed by a weir, ensuring absolute precision and constant wetting of the o-rings.
A careful study of ergonomics has made it possible to create a comfortable, lightweight tool, moved on high-slip guides to obtain an optimal working position of the operator, both during the loading phase and during the dosing phase.

The station presented is composed of a group of 12 compartments for the injectors, manually positioned by an operator.
A distinctive feature is the simultaneous rotation of the injectors, orchestrated by a motorised "tip and tailstock" system activated by two cams integrated into the tool.
The rotation of the injectors drives a series of oil-wet rollers, responsible for lubricating the o-rings, referred to as black and white rollers.
The presence of an upper guard not only provides accident prevention and dust protection but also guarantees rotation of the injectors through calibrated springs.
The working position, located under the guards, is essential to allow rotation. Outside this position, the electrical connection is automatically interrupted, ensuring safety and preventing accidental movement during injector loading/unloading operations.
A complete hydraulic circuit, with tank, pump, filter, and pressure gauges, is stably positioned under the equipment, ensuring a constant supply of lubricant.
The electrical circuit automatically connects when the tool is in the working position and disconnects during the movement towards the loading/unloading position.
This configuration offers greater safety and prevents accidental insertion of electrical cables.
In practice, the workstation ensures the electrical connection only in the work position, ensuring correct operation during the rotation of the moving parts.
The safety guard, at this stage, offers a protective barrier, avoiding unwanted contact with moving components.
