Pulp and paper mills operate under constant load and face some of the harshest environmental conditions of any industry. Constant ingression of water and particulate contamination into the paper machine lube oil systems can wreak havoc on the bearings, adversely affecting reliability and efficient operation, and leading to premature failure, downtime, and costly repairs.
Because of its superior performance and reliability on high viscosity ISO 220 Paper Machine Oil, the VDOPS from Oil Filtration Systems® has been the preferred vacuum dehydrator of choice by many of the leading paper producers in the USA for many years.
Oil Filtration Systems supports pulp and paper producers with both the sale and rental of oil purification equipment, and our experienced team can provide solutions to help keep your critical lube oils absolutely clean and dry.
