Flushing and
hydraulic-fluid transfer

Application:

UFI Hydraulic Division OFF-LINE FILTERS take care of the efficiency and guarantee the long life of the system by keeping the oil at the desired cleanliness values.

Filtration Units are used to maintain “Roll-Off-Cleanliness” in the hydraulic- fluid circuit at the time a new vehicle leaves the manufacturing assembly-line or a vehicle undergoes repair or re-build.

The circuit can be cycled to flush out and remove harmful contamination to pre-condition the oil for longevity and improved service-life. Off-line filters maintain the desired cleanliness level.

Where the level of cleanliness is insufficient to remove harmful contamination from “Built-in”, “Brought- in”, “Induced-in” and “Taken-in” sources, the result can be premature vehicle breakdown/failure within the warranty period.

Hydro-Dry elements are also available to remove water from the system. Nominal flow rates up to 2.000 l/min (530 GPM). Degree of filtration is from 5 µm(c) to 90 µm, by glass fibre, cellulose and metal wire mesh media.

User benefits

  • “Built-in” – contamination left in the system or in componentry during initial vehicle assembly or vehicle repair/re-build.
  • “Brought-in” – components and/or sub-assemblies “brought-in” or manufactured off-line/off-site, may be contaminated and add to the overall levels of contamination on the vehicle during assembly, repair or re-build.
  • “Induced-in” – contamination internally “induced” into the system during operation and performance-testing or caused by wear, corrosion, agitation, oxidation or hydraulic-fluid degradation.
  • “Taken-in” – Externally introduced contamination that enters a system from the atmosphere via insufficiently sealed orifices, covers or access-points.

HYDRO-DRY

Water removal elements

The hydro-dry filter elements remove up to 80% of the free water present in the oil.

The hydro-dry elements use the WR filter media, working by absorption and ensuring a high water retention capacity.

To get the maximum water removal efficiency the hydro-dry elements must be used at constant flow rate and low and constant pressure, i.e. the ideal use is in a off-line filter or in a filtration trolley.

The hydro-dry elements remove also the solid contamination (ß21(c) > 1.000), but we recommend that the main part of solid contamination is removed upstream by a dedicated return filter.

The hydro-dry elements are available in standard dimensions, to fit standard filter housings.

A clogging indicator set at 130 kPa (1,3 bar) on the filter housing is recommended for proper replacement of the clogged element.
