Sage Oil Vac Lube Equipment utilizes an exclusive vacuum and pressure process for fluid exchanges. By utilizing an air compressor, technicians create vacuum or pressure in ASME-rated pressure vessels. There are no pumps to maintain and replace. By installing quick connect fittings on equipment, technicians can vacuum fluids directly from equipment without draining, toting and transferring used oil from pans to buckets.
Once vacuum or pressure has been created in the tanks, the air compressor may be used for other tasks. This is especially useful on Lube Trucks as the operator doesn’t have to idle the truck to run a large hydraulic air compressor during maintenance.
Customers enjoy the low maintenance and easy operation of Sage Oil Vac Lube Equipment.
Quick Maintenance Times
Sage Oil Vac Lube Equipment can reduce oil change and maintenance times by up to 50% or more for companies not utilizing any type of oil change or fluid handling equipment.
Companies who currently have oil change equipment such as an air-driven pump system can realize time savings in the efficiency of the Oil Vac process. Sage Oil Vac Lube Equipment can be faster than some of these competitive systems depending on their existing setup specifications.
Filling New Product Tanks – Do you use bulk oil and are you using additional pumps to fill the new fluid tanks on current system?
Small Container Handling – how much time is spent handling non-bulk containers such as 55 gallon drums, 1 gallon and 5 gallon containers or smaller.
Used Oil Handling – Are you manually draining oil from equipment into a catch pan? How is the used oil transported after fully draining into pan - is it manually poured into secondary container? Sage Oil Vac Lube Equipment allows you to vacuum oil directly from equipment for permanent disposal - reducing intermediate steps
Easy Operation
No Pumps
Sage Oil Vac Lube Equipment does not use fluid pumps to create vacuum or to dispense new product. The Lube Equipment utilizes an air source to create vacuum and pressure. The vacuum and pressure process, used in conjunction with the integral ASME pressure vessels, moves fluid throughout the system.The benefit of this design is a very reliable and sustainable product that has a low cost of ownership and low maintenance cost from year to year. There are no pumps to be replaced.
Ease of Use
Using vacuum and air pressure for fluid changes comes very naturally to operators in the field. Our customers enjoy the intuitive operation of the system. Build pressure when you want to dispense from the new fluid tank or build vacuum to fill new fluid tanks.
Clean Fluid Transfer
The fluid handling process can be 100% enclosed when using Sage Oil Vac Lube Equipment.
Barrel Straw to Load Fresh Fluid Tanks
The versatility of the system allows for vacuuming of fresh fluid from bulk storage, drums, or totes to load product tanks. This process eliminates the pump needed to transfer fluids to the Sage Oil Vac Equipment. The Barrel Straw allows operators to get oil at a job site or remote location and vacuum the oil into the system. This process is 100% self-contained to reduce the chance of spills.
When using the Barrel Straw, fresh oils/fluids are not exposed to outside elements through venting of tanks or open pouring of containers into equipment - eliminating the chance for outside contaminants getting into the fresh oil. This is becoming more and more important when considering today’s equipment and the sensitivity to contaminants in important machine systems.
Quick Disconnect Fittings
When connecting directly to the equipment, the chance of spills on the ground and operator are greatly reduced, improving environmental stewardship. Commercial jobsites today are demanding that crews and companies working on the site have zero oil spills, making enclosed fluid transfer the preferred way of operation. Oil Vac customers are able to cut down on messy maintenance supplies such as oil funnels, oily rags, pig mats, and other supplies that are associated with oil changes that are not 100% self-contained and enclosed. Twice as fast as gravity drain No labor spent removing drain plugs No chance of stripping drain plug threads Enclosed fluid changing operation Eliminate chances of hot oil spills Protects operator from contact with hot fluid Vacuum oil directly from the pan

Environmentally Sound and Safe Working Conditions
Handling of 55 gallon drums and smaller containers of oil is inevitable for companies not utilizing equipment to perform scheduled maintenance and oil changes. Utilizing Oil Vac equipment will reduce strain and chance of injuries from continued use of maintenance fluid containers.Directly connecting to equipment to vacuum used oil from the engine and other equipment parts greatly reduces the chance for spills on the ground, which can result in costly cleanup. Operators do not regularly come into contact with used motor oil and maintenance fluids, improving healthy working conditions.
Economical Payback
Cost of Oil
Purchasing bulk oil may be more cost effective than purchasing in gallons or quarts. Bulk oil can be purchased at savings of up to per gallon.The enclosed system eliminates spills and with them, EPA fines and costly cleanups."For every 5 gallons of bulk oil we purchase, we can save a couple of bucks. We figure we're saving ,000 annually just on oil," says Mike Wood, Oil Vac customer and maintenance foreman for J. Marion Bryan and Sons in Easton, MD.
Value of Used Oil
Used Oil is viewed by many industries as a hazardous waste and a liability to their operation. The fact is: Clean used oil has value! Used oil is used as fuel, in asphalt plants, or in waste oil heaters for shops/factories.
Reduced Equipment Downtime
Faster oil changes mean your equipment is up and running faster. An enclosed vacuum and pressure process is up to 66% faster than gravity drain.Utilizing the Sage Oil Vac ‘no pumps’ process means your lube equipment is ready when you are – no more pumps breaking down mid-service. Investment in Oil Vac equipment can have a quick payback just in work force time savings.
