Contaminant-free
test benches are essential for machine up-time
The
Problem:
Expensive hydraulic test benches needed to be protected from
contamination entering the system from rebuilt pumps being
tested, as well as cross-contamination of new equipment. The
operators were also unaware of the level of existing ferrous
contamination as existing 2-micron filtration was expected to be
effective.
Its
Solution:
A 3-foot magnetic filter rod was placed into the 300 gallon
hydraulic reservoir. In examining the rod after one month,
deposits on the rod showed that the filter had removed
significant amounts of ferrous contamination from the new
hydraulic oil after it had gone through the existing filtration
elements.
Related
Applications:
Any application where hydraulic filtration is essential.
How
Hydraulics Improved this Application:
- Reduced erosion and wear
- Extended filter life
- Reduced filter disposal costs
