Hydraulic Oil Filtration
The model HF-240 Skid manufactured by Filtek India (P) Ltd has been successfully
introduced on a large number of marine vessels to purify the hydraulic oils by
effectively removing moisture from oil, all iron/steel particles and insolubles to provide
the end user with oil to ISO 17/15/12 standard. This mobile skid with quick connect
inlet/outlet couplings can be easily shifted between different hydraulic machinery oil
tanks on board the vessel. The flow rate being 3 LPM it will filter the oil completely in
3 passes of the oil tank capacity. Thus a 600 litre oil tank can be cleaned in just 10
hours with 3 passes of the oil capacity through the filtration unit. An evaporation
chamber has a heating element set at 60 deg C. When the thin film of oil percolates
over the baffles of the casting, any moisture traces in the evaporation chamber are
vented out to the atmosphere. A rare earth magnetic conditioner will capture all iron
and steel particles while the oil passes through a 1 micron microglass fibre cartridge
filter where all solid contamination is removed.
The unit is available in either single or 3 phase with voltage rating of
110VAC/220VAC/380VAC/440VAC in 50/60 Hz. A particle counter can be provided
as an optional extra.
This cost effective intrinsically safe unit, is a valuable asset on each vessel to protect
its expensive and critical hydraulic equipment such as Cranes, Winches, Steering
gear, Hatch cover, Stern thruster & Bow thruster.
