Solution Workshop Fluid Handling & Oil Dispensing System Upgrade

Project Overview

WATPAC Limited required an upgraded workshop fluid handling system to improve the efficiency, reliability and safety of its existing lubricant storage and dispensing infrastructure. Rather than replacing the entire system, the objective was to refurbish key assets and integrate modern equipment that would enhance workshop performance while maximising the value of existing infrastructure.

To meet these requirements, A-FLO Equipment delivered a complete workshop upgrade, incorporating oil tank refurbishment, high-volume pumping equipment, new reticulation pipework and customised dispensing stations.

The Challenge

WATPAC required a solution that would:

Refurbish and extend the life of existing oil storage infrastructure
Improve lubricant transfer and dispensing efficiency
Modernise the workshop oil distribution system
Minimise operational downtime during installation
Deliver a safe, reliable and compliant fluid handling solution

The Solution

A-FLO Equipment completed a comprehensive assessment of the existing workshop before designing and implementing an upgraded lubricant handling system tailored to WATPAC's operational requirements.

Oil Storage & Fluid Handling Upgrade

The existing multi-compartment oil tanks were refurbished to improve reliability, safety and long-term performance.

The upgrade included:

Refurbishment of existing multi-compartment oil tanks
Cleaning and maintenance of storage tanks
Repairs and safety feature upgrades
Installation of RAASM High-Volume Oil Pumps
New oil reticulation pipework
Installation of an IBC Oil Dispensing System

The upgraded system delivers reliable, high-volume lubricant transfer while improving workshop efficiency and reducing maintenance requirements.

Workshop Dispensing System

To improve technician workflow and provide controlled lubricant dispensing, A-FLO installed a custom-designed dispensing station featuring:

Custom-built hose reel gantry
Precision oil dispensing equipment
Optimised workshop layout for improved accessibility

The new dispensing system provides convenient point-of-use access to lubricants, helping streamline servicing operations while maintaining accurate and controlled fluid delivery.

Project Delivery

From initial site assessment through to commissioning, A-FLO Equipment managed every stage of the project to ensure seamless implementation and minimal disruption to workshop operations.

Project services included:

Initial workshop assessment and system design
Refurbishment of existing oil storage infrastructure
Installation of RAASM high-volume oil pumps
New oil reticulation pipework installation
Custom hose gantry fabrication and installation
IBC oil dispensing system installation
System testing and commissioning

The Outcome

The completed workshop upgrade has provided WATPAC with:

Refurbished oil storage infrastructure
Improved lubricant transfer efficiency
Modernised workshop dispensing capability
Increased reliability and operational performance
Reduced downtime through upgraded equipment
A safe and compliant fluid handling system backed by A-FLO Equipment
