CH&I Bulk Transfer System

The CH&I Bulk Transfer System improves performance of lubrication application systems by optimizing the supply of lubricant and or friction modifiers as well as the speed, safety and efficiency when refilling wayside lubricator reservoirs. It dramatically reduces this time-consuming task, enabling a lubricator maintainer to service more lubricators as well as to focus on more important duties that improve lubricator performance. A high-speed, portable design that provides pump-less, nitrogen pressured dispensing. Safe and maintenance-free, this Patented pump-less technology developed by CH&I and distributed to the rail industry by Portec Rail Products is suited to wayside application systems as well as Hi-Rail and On-board Locomotives. It is available in a number of capacities.
