Why use offline / bypass filtration?
Whether it is engine lube oil, automatic transmission fluids or hydraulic oil, the benefits of the NTZ Radial Micro Filters are all based on maintaining a higher quality and cleanliness level of the oil, thereby reducing wear and tear of your equipment.
The great advantage of NTZ Radial Micro Filters is that filtering takes place in a secondary circuit, enabling the highly efficiency NTZ radial filter to operate without disturbing the primary oil circuit, thereby achieving an efficiency which is 10 times better than any standard inline filter. This results in incredibly clean oil and far fewer breakdowns.
Short term benefits of off-line filtration:
- Reduced overall filtration costs (50-80%)
- Reduced equipment maintenance
- Minimal installation costs
- Minimal training required for operation
- No shutdown required for component changes
Long term benefits of off-line filtration:
- Extended component life
- Extended oil life
- Extended main stream filter life
- Reduced downtime due to equipment failure
- Reduced environmental impact
Features of NTZ™ oil maintenance system:
- Compact, self contained, and totally separate from the main system, with its own pump and motor
- Can operate 24 hrs/day, even when the main system is shut down.
- The filter insert utilizes deep media and consistent density to provide fine filtration, with a normal lifetime of 12-18 months.
- The filter insert has 2.2 square metres of exposed surface area to allow for the slow, steady flow rate necessary for very fine filtration.
- The filter insert has a high dirt-holding capacity, on average between 5 and 7 kg (12 and 15 lbs), resulting in cost-effective operation.
- The main system does not need to be shut down in order to change filter insert.
Contamination management courses
The effective control of contamination, whether it be solid particles, free water or the by-products of oxidation, is critical to maintaining a healthy hydraulic system. The National Fluid Power Centre (NFPC) runs a two day contamination management course, specifically for staff involved in installation, commissioning, pro-active maintenance techniques and troubleshooting associated with hydraulic systems. Full details of the course can be found on the NFPC's website by clicking here.
