GQOIL  Innovation company starting in 2012 materialized an idea how to blend more effectively than now. Its project named CCBL – Cavitation Cold Blending of Lubricants includes all what is important for modern technology – giving not only CAPEX/OPEX economies but influencing positively on natural environment also.

This influence is possible thanks to low electricity consumption (2,4 kWh/MT average) and through  significant reduction of process heating (up to 95%, depends on geographical region). Such high level of the heating reduction can be reached in the CCBL blender by using of the cavitation as main factor, inducing the heating and mixing processes internally of the premix.

The launching process of CCBL technology is very flexible and intangible for your pending manufacturing process. CCBL is able to work either as simple blender with manual dosing or be connected with automation dosing system, what cancel necessary to do any additional mixing because CCBL provides fully finished product.

The CCBL ability to work in real industrial conditions was tested at PRISTA OIL site in July 2015. Each production test has been closed by accredited laboratory measurements.  All tests configurations and lab results are described and collected in protocol, available on our website www.gqoil.com

Exclusive Site Visit: Q8 Oils State-Of-The-Art Blending Plant in Antwerp (Fully Booked)

Started in 2007, the project was carried out over a series of phases. The first step was to install new loading arms at the jetty, followed by the construction of a new filling hall and base oil tank farm comprising 24 stock tanks. Later phases introduced a new empty pack warehouse, blending installations and related bulk storage.

The project was completed with the opening of a new additives warehouse in 2016.

Throughout the nine years there was no interruption to production and the project was completed within the projected time.

The new blending plant has the capacity to produce 125m litres each year and can easily be upgraded to double this output. Around 700 different formulations are currently produced.

In addition to the Antwerp blending plant, Q8Oils also has a blending facility in Castellar Guidobono, east of Turin in Italy, which specialises in blending metalworking products.
