Chain Oilers

Chain oilers put a controlled film of oil on a moving chain — conveyor, drive, elevator, or crawler — at the rate the chain actually needs. Too little and pins wear out in months; too much and the excess throws off onto product, floors, and housings. Every model on this page exists to hit that middle rate and hold it.

IsoHiTech catalogs five units: programmable electric chain oilers, a heavy-duty line for mining and construction chains, a mini automatic unit, a manual lubricator, and roller brush assemblies that wipe the oil onto the chain evenly.

Choosing by Chain and Duty

Start from the chain’s speed, length, and how dirty the environment is:

Application	Right class	Cataloged as
Conveyor / production chain, timed feed	Programmable electric	Electric automatic oiler, 2L / 4L, LCD timer
Mining, construction, outdoor drives	Heavy-duty	Heavy-duty oiler, 6L / 10L
Small machine, tight mounting	Mini automatic	Mini oiler, 0.5L / 1L, 6V battery or 12V DC
Short chain, occasional lube rounds	Manual	Manual chain lubricator, 1L / 2.5L aluminum
Even film on fast chains	Brush applicator	Chain oil brush assembly, roller type

Chain Oiler FAQ

How much oil does a chain actually need?

Enough to carry lubricant into the pin-and-bushing contact, and no more. For most drive chains that means a thin film at each pass, metered on a timer — the electric and mini automatic units do this. If oil is dripping off the chain, the rate is too high and the excess is collecting dust.

Electric oiler or manual lubricator rounds?

Manual rounds work for short, slow, accessible chains lubed weekly — the 1L / 2.5L lubricator is built for that. Anything fast, long, enclosed, or hot needs an automatic unit, because the interval between “enough” and “too late” is shorter than a maintenance round.

Why add a brush assembly instead of a nozzle?

A dripping nozzle wets one spot on a moving chain; a roller brush wipes oil across the whole link surface as it passes. On fast conveyor chains the brush cuts oil consumption and throw-off at the same feed rate.

What makes a mining chain oiler different?

Capacity and protection. The 6L / 10L heavy-duty units carry enough oil for long crawler and scraper chains, and their housings are built for dust, washdown, and impact that would kill a shop-grade unit.
