Our portable filters are compact, self-contained, and easy to operate. They provide versatile, reliable filtration for a wide range of industrial applications. The Industrial and Basic carts clean and revitalize industrial fluids helping industrial users maintain fluid cleanliness, improve performance, and reduce their amount of waste and disposal costs. We also offer water absorbent elements and dehydration for the removal of water from your oil.

Why Should You Filter Your Hydraulic Oils?

​

80% of machinery failures occur due to contamination in oils. Particles less than 7 micron size are proven to create the most damage but there is no provision in any hydraulic systems to remove these as it makes machinery costly. Just as metal and skin age due to exposure to oxygen, oils too get oxidized from atmospheric oxygen to form products of oxidation called varnish and sludge.

Presence of moisture in oil or water in oil due to condensation from atmosphere too leads to formation of complex soft contaminants. Continuous removal of varnish and moisture protects the oil additives which in turn increase life of the oil. Our Moisture removing hydraulic filters remove all free water in Oil. It removes sludge and varnish thereby extending oil life by almost three to four times. Contamination in oil is evaluated by measuring its ISO 4406 particle count or by cheaper method by conducting an Oil Patch test for a qualitative comparison.

 

WATER REMOVAL

​

Effects of water on fluid systems include reduced lubricating characteristics (lubricant film thickness, load-carrying ability, etc.), caused by the presence of water, which can lead to increased component wear2, and jamming of components due to ice crystals formed at low temperatures.

​

Water not only affects the components of a hydraulic or lubrication system, it can also change the fluid itself, physically and chemically. The physical properties most affected by the presence of water include:

​

• viscosity

• lubricity and load-carrying characteristics

• power transfer characteristics (compressibility), especially in hydraulic systems

• ​

OIL SAMPLING

​

Fluid is the lifeblood of every hydraulic system...
Fluid analysis is essential to keep your hydraulic system operating efficiently and effectively. Considering 80% of all hydraulic system failures are caused by poor fluid condition, an effective fluid analysis program will help identify contamination and other problems not visible to the naked eye.
