A large plastic injection molding facility in the Midwest United States needed a solution to clean and reuse their press oil efficiently. Oil Filtration Systems’ Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System technology provided the perfect solution, effectively removing contaminants and restoring oil quality. Our comprehensive filtration system reduces oil contamination levels from ISO > 22/21/20 with water > 2,000 ppm down to ISO 16/14/12 with water < 200 ppm, ensuring optimal

It is recognized that hydraulic oil cleanliness prolongs the life of mechanical systems and reduces maintenance costs. Water, solid contaminants, and varnish contribute to abrasive wear and stiction. Plastic Injection machine OEMs often undersize the hydraulic filtration they provide, or the filters are not efficient enough to prevent contamination buildup over time. The OEM-provided filtration will remove solid particles, but does not address water removal or varnish remedia

The Problems: In hydraulic presses, oil can leak and needs to be cleaned for reuse. There are also issues with leaking heat exchangers and cooling water getting into oil. Water and particles kill hydraulic systems. The oil that has been collected from the leaking manifolds or cylinders usually contains particle contamination. Most damage-causing particles in hydraulic or lubrication systems are smaller than 15µ. Water in hydraulic oil will have multiple negative effects on sy

The periodic internal clean-out of hydraulic and lube oil reservoirs is “best practice” and an important part of any world class reliability program. One purpose of a hydraulic or lube oil reservoir is to provide enough residence time for the oil to allow sediment and other particulate contamination to settle to the bottom via gravity. When a reservoir is sized and configured properly, a significant amount of dirt, sludge, and metal fines will accumulate at the bottom, especi

Check out our recent case study from a Plastic Injection Molding facility in the Midwest US. This plant manufactures bathmats and large heavy duty trash cans utilizing large hydraulic presses (12 presses total). Problem Particulate contamination within multiple elevated Hydraulic Press Reservoirs ranging from 500- 1800 gallons were risking critical component damage. There was no oil analysis performed within their PM process. They were constantly replacing oil monthly to each

A large plastic injection molding facility in the Midwest needed assistance in cleaning up its press oil for reuse. Oil Filtration Systems vacuum dehydration and filtration is the key to purifying hydraulic oil for reuse. This is a complete system that will take oil from ISO counts > 22/21/20 with water >2,000 ppm down to 16/14/12 with water <200 ppm. The contaminants to be removed are largely water and fiberglass dust, because although the Lube Room with process tanks looks

Problem: An automotive plant in South Texas makes truck bed liners. The liner’s come in two pieces: the liner for the entire truck bed and the tailgate liner. At this injection molding plant, there are large presses that create the shapes for the bed liners. The “Fagor” press, which molds the tailgates, had a catastrophic failure. Two out of three pumps for the hydraulic system failed as well as the filters. This failure sent metal throughout the hydraulic system. Having this

Check out one of our filter skids installed on large over-molding press that produces automotive components. Our system was moved from press to press, cleaning the hydraulic reservoir as a kidney loop filter. Reservoir particle counts have been reduced from 22/20/19 to 17/16/15! This plant has experienced a dramatic reduction in pump & valve failures. #reliability #sustainability #injectionmolding #hydraulicpress #automotive #solutions #filter #filtration For more information

Stop by booth 427 at the 2022 STLE Annual Meeting & Exhibition! We will be ready to discuss all your oil purification and filtration application needs. Check out Senior Manager – Purity Products Group, Tom Lisy , delivering his session on Remote System Monitoring & Purification of Lubrication Oil Reservoirs. Hydraulic and lubrication oils become contaminated with solids and water through normal use, so as part of their reliability program, plant personnel usually pull samples
