Are you buying the right oil filter?

Have you ever thought when you raise a requirement for a particular filter let’s say a 10-micron filter you get a range of prices some being ridiculously low and some being higher than most, and all claim to give the best 10-micron filter? We get tricked at this point and without looking at differences we think that the only differentiator is the profit margin and procure the filter with the least price. For filter check contact - +91 7030901266.

Let’s try to understand the real reason for the price difference. There are two types of filter ratings:

Absolute: Filter Rating meaning 99.9% of the particles larger than a specified micron rating will be trapped on or within the filter.

Nominal: Filter Rating indicating the approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally interpreted as meaning that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal filter rating will be retained by the filter.

So, a vendor quoting for an Absolute 10-micron filter will have higher prices than the one quoting for a 10-micron nominal filter. So, the key is to always look for the datasheets of these filters and compare them basis the Beta Factor.

Oil Purification Systems

Oil Purification Systems, including equipment for purification, reconditioning, cleaning, and reclaiming of oils, play a vital role in maintaining operational efficiency.

At Minimac Systems, we understand the importance of sustainable practices and offer a range of standard and custom-built products under the category of Oil Purification Systems. Our selection process considers the application requirements and utilizes appropriate technologies to provide cost-efficient solutions for addressing contamination in lubricating oils.

By addressing oil contamination on a case-to-case basis, we strive to contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

FS Series:

This system works on stage wise mechanical filtration technology. Minimac FS series oil filtration systems are high-end technology machines popularly used for superfine stage filtration (fine solid particle removal) of lubricating and hydraulic oils. FS series machines are externally attached, independently operating by-pass oil purifying machines.

Applications:

Power plants – coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, wind, bio-mass

Steel & rolling mills

Cement mills & RMCs

Non-ferrous mineral plants – Al/Zn/Pb etc.

Coal & metal mines

Pulp & paper plants

Automobile manufacturing

Pressing, stamping, forging & foundry

Types of oil which can be cleaned:

Lubricant oil

Gear oil

Turbine oil

Hydraulic oil

Water glycol

LVDH Series:

LVDH Machine works on stage wise mechanical filtration and low vacuum dehydration technology. Minimac MLC-LVDH oil purification systems are high-end technology machines popularly used for filtration (fine solid particle removal) and dehydration (moisture removal) of lubricating and hydraulic oils. LVDH machines are externally attached, independently operating by-pass oil purifying machines.

Applications:

Power plants – coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, wind, bio-mass

Steel & rolling mills

Cement mills & RMCs

Non-ferrous mineral plants – Al/Zn/Pb etc.

Coal & metal mines

Pulp & paper plants

Automobile manufacturing

Pressing, stamping, forging & foundry

Types of oil which can be cleaned:

Lubricant oil

Gear oil

Turbine oil

Quenching oil

MLC-TRIX Series:

This system works on TAN reduction by ion exchange and nitrogen blanketing technologies. Minimac FRF Conditioning System is a four stage conditioner equipment used for the application of synthetic fluids like fire resistant fluid, electro hydraulic oil, other lubricants & hydraulic fluids.

This system is helpful in reducing 3 types of contaminants from lubricating and hydraulic systems. The system is beneficial in reducing total acid number (TAN) from higher levels to within acceptable levels maintaining solid contaminants and water contamination in the oil within acceptable limits. The system comprises nitrogen blanketing arrangement to ensure elimination of any contamination ingress into the oil from tank header space.

The advent of this technology minimises the possibility of moisture ingress in lubrication & hydraulic system tanks and at the same time it also helps in reduction of the same if it has risen due to certain reasons. It is advised to use these machines on regular basis 24x7 so that the moisture contamination in oil is always within acceptable limits.

Typically, the results achieved/obtained using this system are as follows:

TAN value ≤ 0.15 mgKOH/gm

Solid contaminants ≤ NAS 5

Moisture contamination < 500 ppm

All other properties well within desired limits
