To ensure reliable operation of the components and the hydraulic system over time, the hydraulic fluid must have and maintain, constantly during operation, a limited degree of contamination within the values established by the project.
While assessing the causes of malfunctions of the hydraulic systems, it was ascertained that a large part of the faults should be attributed to the presence of a high quantity of solid contaminant of the fluid.
Through continuous checks of the fluid, its condition is determined and, if the admissible values of the characteristic parameters deteriorate beyond the allowed limits, it is possible to take the necessary measures, thus minimizing unwanted downtime.
One of the essential requirements for the proper operation of the oil-hydraulic system is the filtration of the hydraulic fluid and the ventilation air that enters the tanks.
Two types of contamination occur during plant operation:
- internal contamination when contaminants are formed in the systems such as pumps, cylinders and valves that generate contaminating particles by abrasion;
- external contamination when there are contaminants in the surrounding environment tending to penetrate the oil-hydraulic system through the insufficient tightness of the tanks, unsuitable air filters and filling caps.
It should also be remembered that even new liquids, just supplied in sealed drums, may not meet the required degree of contamination.
System Fluid Srl, attentive to the prevention of malfunctions, provides its customers several offline microfiltration TRIPLE R in offline mode units capable of guaranteeing optimal degrees of cleaning of the oil loads of the working plants and of filtering new fluids, according to the Customer's requests.

The term flushing refers to the removal, through the use of a fluid, of various types of contaminants present inside pipes and/or equipment. To obtain this result, the carrier fluid is put into circulation, by means of suitable pumps, until conditions are obtained as to guarantee the achievement of the turbulent motion, necessary for the transport of contaminants then hold by appropriate filters.
Instead, washing involves the impossibility to observe or the non-observance of the fluid speeds ensuring the turbulent motion.
System Fluid srl can support you during flushing of plants and/or equipment, thus providing its own experience and its own devices. It can also provide you with previously filtered compatible fluids allowing you to perform any work.

 

SSystem Fluid srl, for years, offers as an alternative or in addition to the plant flushing, the internal mechanical ALKA Pro-Clean cleaning of pipes.
The system is basically simple, intuitive, quick and cheap. You must shoot special "bullets", available with different densities, surfaces and diameters depending on the type of use, which are pushed by compressed air or inert gases such as nitrogen through pipes starting from an internal diameter of 2 mm for lengths that can even reach 1000 meters.
The system can also be used in the presence of dry curves of 90°, changes in diameter and obstacles such as T or Y deviations and ball valves;
it can be used with both rigid pipes and hoses; moreover the "bullets" can be soaked with substances such as degreasers or sanitizers guaranteeing, at the same time, the mechanical cleaning action and a chemical treatment and expanding the scope from industrial maintenance to plant engineering, from air conditioning for the food industry, from the transport sector to the chemical-medical industry.
