Product Description:Super Clean Filtration Systems is a depth cartridge made of long fibre cellulose with a full diameter polyester protection disc. The filter is covered with nylon and encased in an outer tube which forms an integral part of the cartridge. The cartridge can be used on all pure oil based products such as hydraulic, engine and gearbox oils. The filtration is carried out at low pressures, off-line, cartridge pressures are controlled between 1 and 4 bar with a 6 bar maximum.
 

Action of Cartridge

The filter cartridge acts by absorption and adsorption in a continuous recycling process. The long cellulose fibres attract the water formed either through the combustion process or by condensation and absorb it like a sponge, whilst at the same time rejecting the larger oil molecules which are forced to pass between the tight windings of the cartridge. Thus the cartridge, by removing water inhibits the production of acids. As the oil passes through the cartridge, minute particles of carbon, wear metals and silicon are extracted from the oil by adhering to the many surfaces of the filter. Through the continuous removal of water and contaminants the catalysing effect of the oil additives will be prevented enabling the oil life to be extended within the original specification laid down by the manufacturer. The additional extension of oil life will be dependent upon the operating conditions and maintenance programme applicable to the machine.

Cartridge Change Interval

Taking into consideration the high dirt and water retention capacity, the filter change intervals can be individually determined according to the contamination and volume of the oil. With a normal machine installation the recommended cartridge change frequency is 500 operating hours or 6 months whichever comes first. Where the machine operates in adverse conditions this change frequency should be reduced to 250 operating hours. The maximum life of the cartridge is 6 months.
 

Operating Temperature

The cartridge will operate within the operating specification of engine, hydraulic and gearbox oils –10 to 95 centigrade.
