Microfiltration and nanofiltration of oils

oil microfiltration – why is it worth it?

• Effective removal of contaminants
  Oil microfiltration enables the effective removal of microscopic dirt particles, such as metal filings, dust, sand and other particles. This makes the oil cleaner and more free of substances that can cause damage and breakdown of machinery.
• Improving machine productivity
  Removing contaminants from the oil has a positive effect on machine performance. Cleaner oil provides better lubrication, reduces friction and wear, resulting in increased productivity and longer equipment life.
• Protection against mechanical damage
  Contaminants present in the oil can cause wear on mechanical components such as bearings, seals and drive components. Oil microfiltration minimizes the risk of mechanical damage, leading to fewer breakdowns and the need for repairs.
• Reduction in maintenance costs
  The use of microfiltration of oil reduces maintenance costs for machinery. Cleaner oil means less risk of failure, which translates into lower costs for repairs, parts replacement and production downtime.
• Increase oil life
  Oil microfiltration removes contaminants that can shorten oil life. This allows the oil to be used for a longer period of time, leading to financial savings and reducing the amount of oil used.

Similar to microfiltration of oil, nanofiltration of oil uses filter membranes; however, the openings in these membranes are even smaller than in microfiltration.

It is possible to perform the service also in an explosion hazard zone, thanks to the use of nanofiltration units in the ATEX-certified version.

Nanofiltration is not used for liquids containing water as an essential component, such as HFA, HFB or HFC liquids, water-based machining coolants, etc.
