The life expectancy of one oil filling in a hydraulic or lubricating unit has decreased significantly over the last several years as machines run harder and longer production cycles. The life expectancy of an oiling filling depends on maintenance programs in order to avoid degradation or “varnish.” Varnish will build up at an exponential rate, resulting in hot spots and prematurely plugged components, rendering them inefficient.
The HYDAC AutoFilt® series of automatic back-flushing filters are impressive in their robust design, filtration ability, and convenience for retrofitting an existing system.
Aggressive ferrous debris tends to contaminate industrial fluids, damage inline fluid systems and degrade fluid filter products. Magnom offers a unique solution to this issue with its magnetic filters.
Employing a unique core technology, Magnom Magnetic Filters clean micron and submicron-sized ferrous particles from a wide range of fluids.
Preventative maintenance and condition monitoring is critical to maximizing equipment uptime. Morrell Group utilizes HYDAC’s leading technology in a variety of customer applications to maintain fluid and component cleanliness. From mobile filtration carts to replacement filter elements, we can meet all of your fluid maintenance requirements.
Graco, a leading manufacturer of fluid handling equipment, recently announced the launch of their refreshed line of EZ Greaser™ compact lubrication flow divider valves. The EZ Greaser assemblies are ideal for adding centralized lubrication to trucks, tractors and trailers. With EZ Greaser, users can ensure no grease points are overlooked while they safely and easily grease many points from one fitting. This also shortens the amount of time required for greasing. The EZ Greaser assemblies are compact and cost-effective, suitable for tight spaces where weight matters.
The new FLN Inline Filters and FLND Inline Duplex Filters from HYDAC have built-in quality protection (QPD) to prevent the use of non-quality protected filters in your machines. The proprietary design from HYDAC has a unique interface between the filter and filter element. This design feature prevents the use of inferior filter elements from counterfeit sources and ensures high-quality elements are installed on your equipment.
A plastic product manufacturer contacted QSI Automation to retrofit an injection-molding machine on their factory floor. The manufacturer needed to improve machine performance, operator conditions and reduce energy consumption of their Autojectors HCR-70 machine. The factory itself was beginning to push the limits on their overall power service. They had two options – make their machines more efficient or invest in costly building updates.
HYDAC just released the newest addition to the Hy-Trax Series, a High Viscosity Fluid Sampling System. The Fluid Sampling System provides local visibility to the fluid condition of critical systems. It is ideal for applications including industrial gearboxes, wind turbine gearboxes, bulk fluid storage vessels and industrial hydraulics in cooler climates.
