The PennZone

HOOFDDORP, Netherlands - PennZone -- Engine prelubrication systems on larger engines protect bearings before each engine start. Some engine suppliers list prelube systems as required equipment for certain engines as any large engine will benefit from the protection that can only be achieved by ensuring oil is protecting bearing surfaces before the engine begins to move. A single dry bearing start will lead to progressive bearing failure. Prelube systems offer a low cost insurance policy for critical engines. Varna offers a full range of both pumps and systems for prelubrication.

Studies have shown, the majority of engine mechanical wear, almost 90%, occurs at startup. At the first crank of the engine, all of the oil in the sump and at the first rotation of the crankshaft the bearings, rods, pistons, heads and all galleys are dry causing metal to metal contact to occur damaging the engine over its life time. Pumps can be supplied with DC, AC or air motors. Complete systems are supplied with all wiring and valves as a complete package .
