Hydraulic And Lubrication - Total Filtration Solutions

The effects that contamination can have on hydraulic and lubrication, contaminants would pile up, and contaminant-induced abrasion would go uncontrolled, resulting in disrupted lubrication and machines more prone to premature failure.

It’s not difﬁcult to understand why oil ﬁltration is so important to industrial machinery.

During the operation of a hydraulic/ lubrication system, particles, water and oil degradation are produced continuously, as hydraulic/ lubrication ﬂuids are in contact with moving parts in the system. Oil contamination accounts for the highest percentage of failures in a hydraulic/ lubrication system. Solid particles in high amounts are transported by the oil ﬂow, and these particles can become wedged between metal parts, destroying the surface and creating millions of new particles, if not ﬁltered out.

Water is another major threat to hydraulic and lubrication systems. Small amounts of water in the oil ﬂuid will reduce its performance. This water under high pressure creates micro pitting in gears, bearings and pumps, also adding to particle build-up in the system.

Oxidation, due to the presence of air and hydrolysis due to water, can lead to varnish and sludge build-up on a system’s ﬁlter.

Advanced ﬁltration technologies provide a whole new level of ﬁltration performance. These media increase the dirt-holding capacities of the ﬁlter and reduce pressure drops, which results in enhancements in protection and performance.

Then a hydraulic or lubrication ﬁlter is installed to capture pieces of metal, dirt particles, unwanted chemistry and/or water. A highly efﬁcient ﬁlter in a system will reduce contamination and system breakdowns, while also increasing safety and component life.

In the function, the ﬁltration process is divided into suction ﬁltration, pre-ﬁltration and ﬁne ﬁltration. Pre-ﬁltration and ﬁne ﬁltration adopt ﬁlter cartridges with high ﬁltration efﬁciency, High pressure resistance, high dirt holding capacity and long lifetime.
