into research, innovation and new product
development, global lubricant manufacturer
Metalube has purchased a brand new LR-2.ST

Meter which speeds up and improves accuracy of
viscosity testing.
The latest Reactor is a modular laboratory reactor
for simulation and optimisation of chemical
reactions as well as homogenising processes in
a laboratory scale. It offers torque control, heat
control and homogenisation allowing the company
to optimise production efficiency and aiding
scalability.
Chris Nettleship, Technical Director says: “Both
these investments allow us to be more efficient
and offer
higher
standards
of customer
service.” He
adds: “This
LR-2.ST
laboratory
reactor has
given us the
potential to develop new and innovative greases
and lubricants and catapulted our research and
development capabilities to the next level The
Reactor means that development samples can be a
true representation of what happens in the plant
environment.”
