BY-PASS FILTERS & SYSTEMS

MAGNETIC FILTRATION

                                                                                             HYDRAULICS

 More than 70% of Hydraulic Failures are caused by contaminants in the oil.

 Heavily contaminated oil can reduce power by as much as 15-20%, slowing machine response and taking longer to perform an operation.

By following a few basic tips, the life of piston rods, seals, valves and pumps can be more than doubled.

By maintaining the hydraulic fluid in "as-new" condition, the life of the same components can be increased tenfold.

PARTICLES BREED PARTICLES

An abrasive particle passing through the system scrapes off further particles. Larger ones join the original to create a mass of wear catalysts, smaller ones become silt which builds up on metal surfaces to clog oil flow and cause sticking valve components. In-line filters do not remove silt, (particles below 15 micron) and do not remove water.

• A dramatic reduction in component wear                                            (seals, piston rods, pumps, etc ) 

• A reduction in the incidence of sticking and worn valve components.

• Extended life of in-line oil filters.

• An end to the need to change hydraulic fluids.

• The cleanliness of your Hydraulic Fluid is very crucial to the trouble free and cost effective operation of your hydraulic system.  Hydraulic components are very expensive and need special consideration when selecting and filtering this fluid.

ISO 4406 code is a standard that is recognized in the industry.  Certain recommended fluid cleanliness quantities

 are necessary to realize the best performance and cost saving operation of your Hydraulic System

Determine the required standard of filtration you require from the chart below

Suggested guidelines only!  Precise sampling practices must be followed to insure accurate tests.
