Plastic injection molding depends on precise, high-pressure hydraulic systems operating within very narrow tolerances. Even minor contamination in the oil can lead to premature wear, inconsistent shot quality, inefficient operation, reduced output, and costly unplanned downtime.
Oil Filtration Systems offers a variety of oil purification equipment and services tailored to small and large presses, protecting them from the constant build-up of particulate, moisture, and varnish contamination, and thereby helping manufacturers improve production consistency, extend equipment life, and lower overall maintenance costs.
Applications
Hydraulic Presses
Kidney-loop filtration while in operation
-
Filter Carts / Filter Skids for oil transfer and kidney-loop filtration (particulate removal using Beta>1000 rated filter elements to achieve ISO 16/14/11 or better)
-
Vacuum Dehydrators (VDOPS) for particulate and water removal (free, emulsified, and dissolved to <100 PPM)
-
Varnish Removal Systems (VRS) - utilizing resin bead media and/or depth media filters to achieve MPC <10
-
Particulate removal – pre-filtration with nominally rated polyester felt bag filters
Hydraulic Oil Reclamation
Many older hydraulic presses leak a significant amount of oil onto the ground, where it is collected in totes and then either disposed of or sold back to an oil marketer.
Why get rid of perfectly good hydraulic oil if the only problem is particulate and water contamination?
Oil Filtration Systems can help you set up an in-house Oil Reclamation Program whereby you reclaim used hydraulic oil for re-use, saving you a significant amount of money in oil disposal costs and new oil purchase.
