How to optimise fluid management?

Industries such as agriculture, construction, marine and industry are full of machines that use many fluids. Hydraulic oil, fuel, cutting oil, engine oil and coolant all play a major role in your systems. The quality of these fluids is therefore crucial to the optimal functioning of these systems. However, these fluids and their properties can be altered by several contaminants.

These three types of contaminants have a negative impact on the properties of fluids. This pollution therefore leads to new problems:

• Shortened fluid life, adding unplanned purchases
• Premature wear and tear on systems reducing machine life
• Repetitive breakdowns leading to production stoppages
• Increased maintenance costs with recurrent repair or replacement of wearing parts
• Greatly reduced machine accuracy

To ensure the availability and profitability of your equipment, avoiding these risks is essential. It is therefore recommended that you follow a maintenance programme at regular intervals in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. However, this planned maintenance can be costly due to the immobilisation of the equipment and the labour required. The same applies to the purchase of fluids and spare parts.
At HIFI FILTER®, we offer our expertise and solutions to help you extend these maintenance intervals and reduce your costs. How can we do this? Through optimal fluid quality management.

• ✔️EXTEND THE LIFE CYCLE OF FLUIDS

According to the manufacturers, a fluid has a limited period of use. However, once this period is reached, the fluid is not necessarily out of date. It may simply be contaminated. With HIFI FILTER® filtration solutions, you can thoroughly purify your fluids and reuse them up to 3 times longer (provided their chemical properties are still preserved). Thanks to this prolonged use, you can space out your maintenance, reduce your fluid purchases and limit your environmental impact.

• ✔️MAXIMISING MACHINE LIFE

Standard filtration on production machines is designed to protect components and reduce overall system wear. Adopting a higher filtration fineness gives you increased protection and increased profitability.

• ✔️REDUCE THE RISK OF FAILURE

With better control of fluid contamination levels, breakdowns caused by component failure are reduced and your maintenance costs drop. As a result, equipment availability and production yields increase.

HIFI FILTER® solutions dedicated to the optimal management of your fluids have three objectives: to extend the life cycle of fluids, to maximise the life of your equipment and to limit the risks of breakdowns.
Before deploying them, our HIFI FILTER® teams take several parameters into account:

• The number of pieces of equipment
• The fluids used
• The space available on your systems
• The sensitivity of the components
• The pressure and flow rate of the circuit
• The quantity and type of pollutants
• The working conditions
• For production plants, the type of materials processed

Depending on these data, several installation solutions are possible:

2 in 1 solutions, they are suitable for :

• Distribution: the filtration trolleys secure the transfer of fluid from the container to the tank.
• Decontamination: connected directly to the tank, the filtration trolleys depollute efficiently, then reinject the healthy fluid directly into the tank.

Depending on your needs, we can also make a customised cart. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

With a finer filtration threshold, this method complements your original filtration, while reducing potential pressure or flow disturbances.
