53M012AFOBB - Walter Air Force PL Refill Station for OMNI 20L

Advanced Refillable Aerosol Technology

The Walter Air Force Omni Refill Station (SKU: 53M012AFOBB) represents a significant leap in industrial maintenance efficiency and environmental stewardship. Designed to integrate seamlessly with 20L pails of Walter's OMNI Multifunction Maintenance Cleaner/Lubricant/Protector, this station automates the process of refilling the specialized Air Force reusable spray cans. By leveraging standard shop compressed air (typically between 90 and 125 PSI) as the propellant, the system eliminates the need for chemical propellants found in traditional aerosols, such as butane or propane. This not only reduces the flammability hazard in the workplace but also ensures that the active ingredient—the OMNI fluid—is delivered in its pure form without dilution from liquid propellants.

The station is engineered for durability and high-volume environments. It mounts securely onto the 20L pail, creating a closed-loop system that prevents contamination of the fluid. When a reusable Air Force can is placed on the nozzle, the station simultaneously charges it with compressed air and fills it with the precise amount of OMNI liquid. This ensures a consistent spray pattern and pressure from the first spray to the last, a performance metric often lacking in disposable cans as they depressurize. The OMNI fluid itself is a premium formulation offering excellent capillary action for penetrating rusted parts, superior lubrication for moving components, and a protective film that resists corrosion. By transitioning to this bulk-fill system, facilities can achieve substantial reductions in their volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions footprint.

From a procurement perspective, the Air Force system offers a rapid return on investment. The cost per liter of fluid when purchased in 20L bulk pails is significantly lower than the equivalent volume packaged in single-use aerosol cans. Furthermore, the elimination of disposal fees for hazardous empty cans—often a hidden cost in MRO budgets—adds to the financial benefits. The unit comes with a robust 2-year warranty, underscoring Walter's confidence in the station's mechanical reliability. It is an ideal solution for maintenance departments, automotive workshops, and manufacturing plants prioritizing sustainability without compromising on performance.
