EMA P-15 Elevator Guide Rail Oil Collector (Shaft Pit Oil Cup)

The EMA P-15 is a specialized maintenance component designed to maintain hygiene and safety within the elevator shaft. Installed at the bottom of the guide rails, this durable polymer container effectively captures waste oil dripping from the rails, preventing soil contamination in the elevator pit and reducing fire hazards.

Technical Specifications: EMA P-15

Product Description

The EMA P-15 Elevator Rail Oil Collector is an essential component for any modern elevator maintenance strategy. As elevator cars travel, gravity inevitably causes excess lubricant to flow down the guide rails. Without a proper collection system, this “black oil” accumulates on the pit floor, creating environmental hazards, difficult cleaning tasks, and potential fire risks.

Smart Engineering for Clean Shafts: The P-15 stands out with its intelligent 4-compartment geometry. Acting like a catch basin, it surrounds the rail profile to ensure that oil dripping from any angle is successfully captured. The unit is installed at the lowest point of the guide rails (for both the car and counterweight), acting as the final barrier between the mechanical system and the building structure.

Installation and Durability: Designed for B2B efficiency, the P-15 minimizes installation time. Its central locking mechanism securely grips the guide rail, ensuring it remains stable even under shaft vibrations. The construction utilizes a robust polymer that resists the degrading effects of aggressive synthetic and mineral oils, ensuring that the collector does not crack or leak over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Where exactly should the EMA P-15 be installed?

The P-15 is installed at the very bottom of the elevator shaft (the pit), attached directly to the bottom end of both the car and counterweight guide rails to catch gravity-fed waste oil.

Q2: How often does the container need to be emptied?

Maintenance frequency depends on the amount of lubrication applied to the rails. However, it should generally be checked and cleaned during standard monthly or quarterly elevator maintenance visits to prevent overflow.

Q3: Is the plastic material resistant to all types of elevator oil?

Yes, the EMA P-15 is manufactured from high-grade industrial polymer specifically selected for its chemical resistance to standard elevator lubricants and greases.

Q4: Does this product fit all rail sizes?

he P-15 features a flexible central clamping design intended to be compatible with most standard guide rail profiles used in passenger and freight elevators.
