Introduction
LINUS PROJECTS (INDIA) is a leading manufacturer and global exporter of lubricant and grease manufacturing machinery. Our Laboratory Model Grease Plant is designed for Research & Development (R&D), formulation validation, pilot batch production, and technical training. This compact system replicates industrial grease manufacturing processes under controlled laboratory conditions.
What is a Laboratory Model Grease Plant?
A Laboratory Model Grease Plant is a small-scale, skid-mounted grease production system engineered to manufacture controlled batches ranging from 10 kg to 200 kg per batch. It simulates industrial processes such as saponification, controlled heating & cooling, crystallization, milling, and homogenization.
Key Applications
-
Development of new grease formulations.
-
Testing base oils, thickeners, and additives
-
Process optimization and validation
-
Pilot batch production before scaling up
-
Technical training and academic research
