Six things that decide whether your plant spends money on filtration or on replacing what the dirty oil damaged. Written for the person paying the bill.
Three out of four hydraulic failures start as contamination.
Particles, water and heat degrade the fluid long before a component gives up. By the time a pump sounds wrong, the abrasive wear that caused it has already been paid for in clearances that will not come back.
A screen catches everything at one plane, and blinds quickly.
A surface filter arrests contaminant on a single face, so pressure climbs fast and the element is spent. Our graded density media spreads capture through its whole thickness, which is why it holds far more dirt per element and gets changed less.
Oil in a working system gets dirty again immediately.
Cleaning oil once is an event. A live system generates and ingests contaminant constantly, so cleanliness only means anything as a level held over time. That is the whole argument for filtering continuously instead of occasionally.
It attacks additives, promotes oxidation and corrodes surfaces.
In outdoor installations, and across the power sector especially, water is often the bigger of the two problems. It has to be removed at the same time as particulate — which is why our machines are specified for both requirements together.
A small continuous flow, cleaned and returned, forever.
Continuous bypass filtration takes a small proportion of the flow, cleans it and puts it back. It is gentler on the fluid, needs no production stoppage, and holds a cleanliness level that periodic cleaning structurally cannot.
One avoided oil change removes four costs at once.
Buying the new charge, disposing of the old one, the production time lost to the change, and the carbon attached to both. Extend oil life and all four disappear together — every year, for the life of the machine.
Our element is not a screen. Its pore structure gets tighter with depth, so big particles are caught early where there is room for them, and the finest ones deeper in. Contaminant ends up locked through the whole thickness rather than caked on one face — which is why it holds so much more before it needs changing.
An oil audit tells you your current cleanliness level, moisture content and what it is costing you. No commitment attached.
