SKF Offers Compact Oil Filtration System

<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/ueditor/php/upload/image/20220506/1651821800135063.png" title="1651821800135063.png" alt="5.png"/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">SKF RecondOil’s technology, which removes even the smallest impurities from circulating oil, is now available in a compact form.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">RecondOil Box is a smaller version of SKF’s industrial scale DST systems, which have previously been applied in large applications in metalworking and quenching. The smaller system is suitable for a broader range of industries and applications, to name a few: general manufacturing, pulp and paper production, metal production, metal processing and energy production.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">While conventional filters typically only remove particles in the micron range, the RecondOil Box features Double Separation Technology (DST), which can remove particles down to nano-size from an oil. It acts as a mechanical ‘kidney’ in a machine’s oil circulation system, where it regenerates the oil by progressively removing contaminants, and then returning the oil back into circulation. As the oil is in a closed loop, it’s kept at a highly clean state continuously.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">By keeping the oil continuously clean, RecondOil Box can significantly extend oil change intervals.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“When DST-regeneration is combined with lubrication management and condition monitoring, oil can be circulated and re-used for much longer,” says Erik R?wall, program manager at SKF. “Sometimes, it can be circulated indefinitely, allowing a circular use of oil.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, as well as reducing the cost of replacing oil, it can also deliver an environmental benefit. A life cycle analysis performed by IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute calculated the climate impact of a conventional oil cycle at 3,830 kg CO2&nbsp;equivalent per m3&nbsp;of oil – compared to 8.2 kg CO2-eq with RecondOil Box.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The nano-clean oil can also improve machine performance across a range of applications. As well as filtering out impurities, RecondOil Box removes free, emulsified and bound water. It also prevents premature oil degradation by removing oxidation products and&nbsp;soluble and insoluble varnish.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Customers interested in the RecondOil box will be able to obtain the DST system itself, as well as oil condition monitoring, filter changes and other services.</p><p><br/></p>
