The need for filtration.....
Contamination ...
" even new oil is not clean "
Over 80% of all oil & fuel system failures are caused by contaminants in the fluid. Even when no immediate failures occur, high contamination levels will sharply decrease operating efficiency.
Contamination is defined as any substance which is foreign to a fluid system and damaging to its performance. Contamination can exist as a gas, liquid or solid. Solid contamination, generally referred to as particulate contamination, comes in all sizes and shapes and is normally abrasive. High contaminant levels accelerate component wear and decrease service life. Worn components, in turn contribute to inefficient system operation, seizure of parts, higher fluid temperatures, leakage, and loss of control.
All of these phenomena are the result of direct mechanical action between the contaminants and the system components. Contamination can also act as a catalyst to accelerate oxidation of the fluid and spur the chemical breakdown of its constituents.
80% of all hydraulic & lubrication failures are caused by water or particulate contamination
All the above problems can be rectified using the correct and effective filtration principles!
The level of contaminant ..
tiniest particulate cause the harm ...
The table on the left demonstrates the human eye’s inability to see below 40 micron i.e. microscopic, harmful particulate in oils, fuels and fluids are invisible. Sub 5 micron particles act as abrasives which gradually destroy system components.
Qualities of good filtration ...
Effective filtration will extend the life of your machinery and maintain the oil cleanliness of your equipment...
It is a well known fact that oil and fuel cleanliness is critical. It is not uncommon for large machines to dispose of oil on a monthly basis. By fitting a Kleenoil filter to your equipment, oil drain intervals can be increased to 100,000 miles for heavy goods commercial vehicles.
Extend oil life up to 10 times:
By fitting a Kleenoil filter, you can ensure your oil (lubricating, hydraulic or gear oil) remains clean and dry. This will ensure that the oil remains in excellent condition for up to 10 times longer.
Standard in-line filters mostly filter down to 20 micron efficiency. The most harmful contaminants in oil are the sub 5 micron particles, often which are also the most abrasive. The Kleenoil filter is capable of removing harmful solid contaminants down to less than 1 micron.
Simple Installation:
The Kleenoil filter can be fitted quickly and simply by approved engineers.
Water and Solid Particulate Removal
The Kleenoil Filters high performance cartridges allow for the removal of ultra-fine particulates and debris, thereby immediately reducing the risk of contamination-induced damage to parts and machinery.
Kleenoil can be used to enhance the life and performance of other, more expensive system filters. The wear and tear of hoses and fittings is also greatly reduced due to the effective removal of harmful particulate.
With today’s machinery operating under increasingly fine tolerances, the removal of particulate and moisture down to acceptable levels is paramount.
As the system effectively removes water from the oil/fuel, the risk of fluid degradation is significantly reduced along with inevitable associated down-stream problems.
Features and Benefits:
• Eliminates water from oil using cellulose elements
• Eliminates oil from water using polypropylene elements
• Does not remove additive packages
• Extends oil drain intervals
• Increases service intervals
• Provides continuous protection
• Environmentally friendly
• Reduces machine downtime
• Removes dirt and solid contaminants down to NAS 5/ ISO 14/9 or better
