The Importance of Using Off-Line Filters in Hydraulic Oil Filtration
Permanently clean hydraulic fluids are the basis for the performance and longevity of machines. HİDROMAN's offline filters undertake the task of permanently removing unwanted particles in the fluids used.
Off-line filters are independent systems used outside the main circuit of the hydraulic system. This allows particles, water and other impurities to be removed from the oil without interrupting the operation of the machine for the cleaning job. Find out in this article which offline filters are suitable and how they contribute to reliable fluid cleanliness in hydraulic circuits.
What Are Off-Line Filters and How Do They Work?
The off-line filter is an independent filtering system that operates in parallel with the main circuit of the hydraulic system. It only processes some of the oil. This is in contrast to the main flow filter, which is integrated directly into the main circuit and cleans all liquid flowing through it.
The main advantage of offline filtration is its efficiency in removing fine particles and water from oil along with its large dirt holding capacity. Thanks to their special design, offline filters can filter out contaminants that cannot be captured by main filters. This prevents significant damage that even the smallest particles can cause to the hydraulic components used.
Additionally, removing water from the system prevents oxidation and corrosion. This improves performance and significantly extends the service life of hydraulic components.
Offline filters are installed by the manufacturer during the initial assembly of the machine or as a retrofit option by the user. A big advantage of retrofit is that the installation does not require any modifications to the existing hydraulic circuit.
The efficiency of offline filtration, high dirt holding capacity and excellent water absorption are often enhanced by extra features such as oil condition monitoring. HİDROMAN offline filters can be used for a long time without the need for costly maintenance or regular replacement. Therefore, offline filters are a cost-effective solution that helps extend the lifespan of hydraulic oil and therefore reduce operating costs.
How do fixed Off-Line filters work and what are their application areas?
Fixed bypass filters, also known as off-line filters, are independent filtration systems used for continuous cleaning of hydraulic fluids. Their main advantage lies in their ability to improve the quality of hydraulic oil without affecting the existing hydraulic circuit or the operation of the machine.
Filters can be installed by the machine manufacturer during initial installation or by the end user as a retrofit.
Offline filters in combination with other filter units such as pressure filters ensure permanently excellent oil quality.
For example, HİDROMAN's FNS1 040 offline filter is a high-performance, fixed offline filter with a water absorbing element. It offers excellent water absorption capacity regardless of system temperature. It also ensures the removal of solid particles and has an enormous dirt retention capacity, confirmed by tests carried out in accordance with ISO standards.
Special offline filter units such as the FNA1HV 008 are used for filtration in high viscosity hydraulic and lubrication systems. It offers large dirt holding capacity with a compact, robust and leak-proof design. Filter elements can be replaced without tools and during operation.
HİDROMAN's offline filters are available for original equipment, as part of retrofit or for retrofit of machines. Filter solutions guarantee continuous filtration of liquids even when the machines' main cylinders are not in motion.
What functions and advantages do HİDROMAN's mobile oil service units offer?
HİDROMAN's mobile oil service units are multifunctional devices specially designed for location-independent maintenance and service of hydraulic systems. Units can be used for the following tasks:
Hydraulic Oil Transfer Unit
Pumping out used oil
Filling machines with filtered oil
Offline filtering
UMPC2 mobile oil service unit is one of the latest products added to the HİDROMAN portfolio. Besides the excellent performance guaranteed by the well-known UMPC 045, the UMPC2 also stands out with its ergonomic touch screen, optimal handling and high filter performance.
Alternatively, the economical UMPCL2 045 oil service unit offers high filter performance and ease of use.
The most important features of all units of the UMPC family are:
Easy replacement of filter element
Integrated sensors to monitor oil status
Storage of data and settings in individual profiles
Optional flexible flow regulation from 20 to 70 l/min
Ergonomic design for easy use and clean carrying
The basic element of the entire family of UMPC units is the ultra-fine filter element, which has a high separation efficiency of up to 4 kg. Therefore, it guarantees an exceptional level of oil cleanliness. This provides maximum protection for components in the overall hydraulic system.
Mobile oil service units are an economical and flexible alternative to fixed offline filters. We will be happy to advise you on the advantages of both solutions in a personal consultation. Contact our expert team now!
How do HİDROMAN's Mobile dewatering systems affect oil quality?
HİDROMAN's mobile dewatering systems guarantee the permanent quality of hydraulic and lubricating oils. Water contamination in oils can lead to serious consequences, which are reliably prevented by mobile dewatering systems. HİDROMAN's vacuum dewatering units have been specially developed to remove both free and dissolved water from hydraulic and lubricating oils. This ensures the long-term performance of the oils.
Water contamination can adversely affect the efficiency of the entire hydraulic or lubrication system.
Accelerated oil oxidation, which has a negative impact on air separation ability, antifoam agents and lubrication performance
Degeneration of additives that accelerate corrosion and wear
Shortening the life of the oil results in more frequent oil changes and therefore higher costs
HİDROMAN's vacuum dewatering units reliably remove water from hydraulic and lubricating oils. This prevents the formation of oxidation products, extends the service life of the oil and increases the overall efficiency of the hydraulic system. These units also help reduce maintenance costs and downtime. This is because they reduce the need for frequent oil changes and extend the service life of components.
HİDROMAN's mobile drainage systems support high performance fluid management. This reduces operating costs and ensures the reliability of hydraulic systems.
Permanently clean oil with HİDROMAN's filtering technologies
With HİDROMAN's filtering technology, you can ensure long-term cleaning of hydraulic fluids or lubricants in your company. Our offline filters or mobile oil cleaning devices make a significant contribution to the performance and longevity of the machines. Both solutions have their own advantages.
Fixed offline filters ensure efficient and reliable cleaning and are suitable for both new machines and refurbishment. Filter systems effectively remove particles, water and other contaminants without affecting the production operation of the machines. Since filter elements can be replaced during operation if necessary, expensive, inefficient downtime is reduced.
The high dirt holding capacity and excellent water absorption capacity make bypass filters reliable components for use in a wide range of industrial applications.
In use, mobile oil service units such as UMPC2 and UMPCL2 045 contribute to the flexible improvement of oil quality. Mobile oil service units allow efficient filtration of hydraulic fluids and simple filling, cleaning and pumping operations.
With our mobile dewatering systems you can rely on high technical performance in the fight against water contamination in oils. The devices extend the life of the oils used and prevent their negative effects on the performance of your hydraulic or lubricant units.
HİDROMAN filtering technologies offer companies a high-quality, reliable solution for the sustainable optimization of hydraulic or lubrication systems. Reduce your operating costs and increase the performance of your production machines at the same time!
