FILTAKLEEN USA - Proactive Maintenance Solutions
 

Are you using more than 250 lts. of hydraulic oil per annum?

We urge you to look at your annual expenditure on Oil and Equipment Maintenance. If you are spending more than you should, please spend a few minutes reviewing this product.

We would like to introduce Filtakleen from USA, simple yet revolutionary equipment, designed to save precious oil consumption and extend machine life.

THE PRODUCT – WHAT IS IT?

Oil costs and equipment maintenance are becoming increasingly critical for today's machine circuitry. Filtration and re-usability of oil is a valuable technique to improve productivity and costs.

Filtakleen is a proactive maintenance solution that involves by-pass filtration. Filtakleen by-pass filter removes suspended carbon particles upto 1 micron. It also removes moisture completely from the oil thereby preventing acid corrosion.

The unique design, allows the main full flow filter to continue working, while FILTAKLEEN filter strips away the contaminants and particles from the oil, returning fresh, clean oil back into the oil sump. As about 10% of the oil passes through the filter, this usually takes about eight hours to clean the whole system

   

HOW IT WORKS ?
Filtakleen filters works along with full flow filters in hydraulic circuit as a supplement to them. The reason for this is Filtakleen takes only a partial flow of the oil from the pressure side of the system by firstly reducing the pressure down to 4-5 bar and then controlling the flow of oil through the Filtakleen element to 4-5 litres per minute.

In acting in this way the oil, instead of passing through only one layer of filtration as in the full flow filter, is allowed to percolate slowly down through 114 cm height of fine filter medium capable of not only removing ultra fine debris but absorbing water as well. The oil is then returned as NEW directly to the tank.

Once installed Filtakleen's filtering efficiency removes all damaging wear particles normally missed by the main filter. This removal of the ultra fine debris at source immediately reduces the risk of malfunctioning control valves as well as dramatically reducing the erosion of the hoses and seals caused by these fine particles. In addition Filtakleen takes away the risk of silting of the suction filters which can cause pump damage through cavitation. In fact, the finer tolerances of today's machinery makes the removal of 1-25 micron wear particles a necessity and so by addressing this need with Filtakleen, you are creating Major Long Term Benefits in both component life and circuit operation.

100% WATER REMOVAL- STOPS ACIDITY
By its ability to remove all water content Filtakleen reduces dramatically the normal acid buildup in the oil so avoiding the corrosion and chemical degradation of all the seals and hoses as well as preventing unnecessary pump wear and cavitation through invert emulsion.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE
One of the added benefits with a Filtakleen dual action filter is that on machinery running 24 hours a day, 7days a week, you are able to change the Filtakleen cartridge literally a 5 minute no mess job, without having to stop your production. You simply turn the ball valve designed in to the inlet side of the system to off. Change the filter and turn back on again. Simple, effective and as good as an oil change.

UNIVERSAL TO ALL CIRCUITS
No matter what size or type of hydraulic circuit you have in operation, FILTAKLEEN will suit all application from the smallest grass-cutting machine through to the largest injection moulding equipment. Our experience has taught us that whichever industry you are involved in, FILTAKLEEN will give you a positive preventive maintenance package whilst saving valuable resources, that is oil.

MAJOR LONG TERM BENEFITS
• Saving wear on component parts giving reduced maintenance costs.
• Preventing fine tolerance valves from sticking, giving maximum production time.
• Easy cartridge change without the need to stop machinery or production.
• Saving on oil costs and oil disposal costs.
• Improving system filter life and reducing replacement.

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY
Perhaps we should call ourselves FILTAGREEN because as well as saving valuable finite resources, FILTAKLEEN cartridges come from crop grown timbers. In addition, the use of FILTAKLEEN helps solve a pollution problem of what to do with waste oil.
