POTENTIAL USERS AND APPLICATIONS

• Arrests additive depletion increasing life of oil.
• Extends life of oil and improves oil cleanliness.
• Extends time between major overhauls by up to 50% and reduces expenditure on overhauls.
• Reduces wear rate of parts by more than 70%.
• Eliminates part breakage due to wear scratches from large dirt particles.
• Finer cleaning of oil eliminates clogging of oil passages and cooling nozzles.
• Keeps parts clean, free of carbonaceous and gummy deposits reducing valve leakage.

BENEFITS OF A CENTRIFUGAL OIL CLEANER

Contamination removed by our AWS 6000A unit from
Drawing Oil at Various Cable Manufacturing Facilities

Oil is pumped into the centrifugal oil cleaner under pressure and directed into a hollow spindle where it exits via a cross-drilling into the centrifuge rotor. The rotor becomes full of pressurised oil that is then allowed to exit through two tangentially opposed nozzles located in the rotor base. This causes rotation of the free spinning rotor assembly at speed up to 7,000 rpm, generating centrifugal forces within the rotor. As the contaminant particles enter the rotor, they are subjected to centrifugal force, causing them to migrate radically outwards to the inner surface of the rotor wall, where over time, they compact to form a dense cake.

The centrifugal oil cleaner is not a barrier filtration device and thus does not rely upon filtration media to remove contaminant particles. Removal of particles is based on relative density, hence, contaminant removal is not limited to particle size. There are no consumables.

A centrifugal oil cleaner is a mechanical device, which cleans oil by centrifugal forces more 2,000 times greater than gravity, many times more effectively than any other filtration method. Centrifugal force is capable of removing a wide range of particles extending into the sub-micron range. Analysis of the dirt collected by a centrifugal oil cleaner reveals an ability to remove particles of less than one micron in size.
