Plastic Injection Molding Case Study - Hydraulic Oil Reclaiming System to 16/15/11 with <0.08 Moisture

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 remediation. Additional oil purification equipment is required, but it can be cost prohibitive to install on each machine.

Replacing the oil in the reservoir with reclaimed oil can be the most economical way to address accumulated contamination.
