The customer is a prominent machine tool manufacturer located in Millersburg, Pennsylvania. The company specializes in producing high-quality cutting tools for metal removal applications in the aircraft manufacturing industry, where precision and quality standards are non-negotiable.   The Challenge: Particulate Contamination in Centralized Coolant System  They operate a 1,400-gallon centralized cutting fluid reservoir that distributes coolant to multiple machining stations

A leading steel forging manufacturer that produces high-tensile components for government applications was facing ongoing maintenance issues with one of its largest forging presses. The plant operates a 5,000-ton forging press powered by a 5,000-gallon hydraulic reservoir using biodegradable fire-resistant oil (Fuchs Renosafe 46) to ensure workplace safety and environmental compliance.  The Challenge: Elevated Water and Particulate Contamination  The customer began experienci

New oil purchased for regular consumption which is now being cleaned through a 50 GPM Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System. Hydraulic Oil Contamination Challenges in Aluminum Extrusion Manufacturing A national leader in the manufacturing of extruded aluminum products in Texas was facing a costly and persistent challenge: hydraulic leaks in four large horizontal aluminum extrusion presses. Each press relies on complex hydraulic systems with high-value pumps and precision

To effectively mitigate the varnish contamination in the hydraulic oil, the plant decided to implement a 10 GPM Varnish Removal System.

Problem: An aging steel facility was facing major operational challenges, including hydraulic oil leaks, groundwater seepage into the reservoir, and frequent pump failures, which were costly and disruptive to operations. The Oil Filtration Systems Solution: A multi-stage filtration system was implemented, including pre-filtration for particulates (an OFS Multi-Bag Filter Housing Assembly), pre-filtration for free water (an OFS Lube Oil Coalescer Housing Assembly), and continu

The Problem: A metal processing facility experienced a failure in one of the components on a large Central Gear Oil System. This failure severely contaminated their 4,500-gallon custom blend EP-800 Gear Lubricant System with metal particulate. The oil was in pristine condition but needed to have the mass amounts of metal fines removed. The viscous nature (800 CST at 40 C) of the oil posed a challenge for efficiently removing this particulate. The Solution: "After conversation

Why throw away perfectly good hydraulic oil just because it's dirty? Older hydraulic units often develop leaks which put used oil on the floor or in a pit within the plant.  This used oil is typically loaded with particulate and water contamination, and end users often dispose of it and replace it with new.  Disposal of used oil and purchase of new can be very costly, but there is a better solution.

Effective kidney-loop filtration of high viscosity gear oils can be very challenging, especially at cooler ambient temperatures.  Proper sizing of the pump/motor and filter elements for optimal filtration performance is always important, but it takes on even more significance with high viscosity gear oil (ISO VG 220 – ISO VG 680).  The first challenge for a kidney-loop filtration system on high viscosity gear oil is proper pump/motor selection.  Most off-the-shelf filter cart

We have one of our 50 GPM Vacuum Dehydrator and Filtration Systems installed on ISO 460 lube oil at a Steel Mill in Kentucky. FUN FACT: this OFS dehydrator/filter system has been in operation since 2007! The steel mill cannot operate the hot strip mill without the OFS dehydrator. The Facility Engineer at the plant wanted to ensure another 15+ years of use from this unit. In order to do so, this system will be sent back to our facility for rebuild. We will then supply the mill

Problem Untreated high levels of particulate contamination have resulted in the costly remedy of emptying a 2500 gallon reservoir and replacing the Meropa 460 gear oil. The system includes a high flow, low pressure pump delivering gear oil to four main gearboxes in the roll mill with only a single pressure filter. The return flow exceeds 600 gallons per minute intermittently, and there is no return filtration or a kidney-loop system. The worst ISO cleanliness code came back a
