Inside Thermopac’s Skid-Mounted Lube Oil Blending Plants
In today’s fast-evolving lubricant industry, agility and efficiency are critical. Companies need blending solutions that are quick to deploy, easy to operate, and adaptable to market changes — without compromising on product quality or regulatory compliance.
That’s where Thermopac’s Skid-Mounted Lube Oil Blending Plants (LOBPs) come in.
Engineered for performance and built for flexibility, these compact modular systems allow you to start or expand your lubricant production with minimal space, time, and cost investment.
What is a Skid-Mounted Lube Oil Blending Plant?
A Skid-Mounted LOBP is a pre-assembled, factory-tested unit that integrates all essential blending operations onto a single structural skid or a series of compact modules. Designed for plug-and-play functionality, these plants are shipped ready for installation, reducing onsite work and civil infrastructure requirements.
It’s a revolutionary approach to blending base oils with additives to produce a wide range of automotive and industrial lubricants — anywhere, anytime.
Why Thermopac?
With decades of process expertise and installations in over 35 countries, Thermopac has emerged as a global leader in lube oil blending technology. Our skid-mounted systems represent the perfect blend of precision engineering, automation, and operational simplicity.
Here’s what makes Thermopac’s Skid-Mounted LOBPs the preferred choice for forward-thinking lubricant manufacturers:
1. Compact, Pre-Engineered Design
Thermopac’s LOBPs are designed to occupy minimal floor space without compromising on throughput. Each skid is fully assembled, piped, wired, and tested at our facility before dispatch. That means faster commissioning, lower installation costs, and seamless scalability.
Whether you’re setting up in a warehouse, remote industrial site, or urban facility, our modular design ensures easy transport, setup, and integration.
2. Flexible Batch and Inline Blending
Thermopac plants support both batch blending and inline blending configurations — depending on your product portfolio and production volume. Our advanced flow control systems and recipe-based PLC automation allow for precise proportioning of base oils and additives, delivering consistent, high-quality blends.
3. State-of-the-Art Automation
Our systems come equipped with PLC/SCADA-based automation to ensure error-free operation, recipe management, quality tracking, and operational safety. Real-time data access and remote diagnostics empower your team to maintain high performance with minimum supervision.
Bonus: Our intuitive HMI interface ensures your plant operators can run the system with minimal training.
4. Versatile Product Range
With a single Thermopac LOBP, you can blend:
Automotive lubricants (engine oils, gear oils, transmission fluids)
Industrial lubricants (hydraulic oils, turbine oils, compressor oils)
Specialty oils and custom blends
All with easy recipe switching, flush cycles, and minimal product losses
5. Customizable Capacity & Layout
From 1,000 litres/day to 100,000 litres/day — Thermopac offers scalable capacity solutions to match your production needs and market goals. You can start small and expand in phases — all within the same integrated framework.
Need extra tanks or more automation later? Our modular systems make it easy to add on
6. Ideal for Developing Markets & Exporters
Skid-mounted LOBPs are especially ideal for:
- Emerging markets where civil infrastructure is limited
- Private label blenders looking to expand production
- Lube exporters needing local or regional blending stations
- Government or military operations needing on-site lubricant preparation
With reduced site dependency and simplified logistics, Thermopac’s plants are a strategic asset for global growth.
7. After-Sales Support and Training
Every plant comes with installation guidance, operator training, and 24×7 technical support. Our remote monitoring system also helps us assist you quickly, wherever you are.
