Hydraulic Oil Filtration Solutions
Although highly sophisticated, today’s hydraulic oil filtration systems use traditional full-flow filters to clean the hydraulic oil. As the rising number of costly hydraulic system failures in the industry shows, this approach is insufficient. Water contamination is one of the primary factors that can reduce the lifespan of hydraulic oil, leading to corrosion of internal surfaces and increased wear due to inadequate oil lubrication. The contaminated particles shorten the life of rolling bearings, causing extra internal wear on hydraulic components and leading to leaking seals. Plant or equipment failures due to sticking pilot valves are also, in many cases, a direct result of fine contaminated particles in the hydraulic oil.
Contaminated particles about the same size as the clearances in the equipment should be removed. The condition of the hydraulic oil will determine the machinery’s uptime and life.
Hydraulic oil filtration systems are designed to achieve and maintain proper ISO cleanliness levels. We offer advanced filtration capabilities to efficiently and effectively remove contaminants. Those oil filtration systems include hydraulic filter carts and portable mobile equipment. The portable oil filter carts are compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport and move.
For marine applications, since more than 90% of hydraulic system failures onboard vessels are due to water or fine contaminant particles in the hydraulic oil, it makes sense to maintain the hydraulic oil rather than the equipment. Water contamination in onboard hydraulic systems is due to leaking seals in the systems in contact with seawater, such as trustees, stabilizers, propellers, etc; it is a recognized problem. Fine contaminated particles can come from various sources, such as depleted additives, coatings from tank walls, or metal from normal machinery wear. Better hydraulic oil cleaning is the answer!
