Spin-On Filtration: Is Convenience Worth The Cost?

Comments Off on Spin-On Filtration: Is Convenience Worth The Cost?

Spin-on filters are very commonplace in the world of hydraulic filtration. Unlike cartridge filters, spin-ons combine the filter media, housing, base plate, and gasket into one disposable unit. While they are known for their convenience, the disposable design of these filters comes with drawbacks. Does the ease of use really outweigh the downsides? Let’s review […]

The Unique Challenges of Compressed Gas Filtration

Comments Off on The Unique Challenges of Compressed Gas Filtration

Compressed gases are an increasingly large part of what keeps our world moving! Compressed gases are a common part of many industrial processes, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetic production, and applications in the food and beverage industry. Additionally, compressed natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen are seeing increased adoption as alternative fuels. As sustainability initiatives and technological […]

Particle Counters: Unparalleled Detection of Solid Contaminants

Comments Off on Particle Counters: Unparalleled Detection of Solid Contaminants

In hydraulic systems, up to 70% to 90% of wear and failure is contamination related. Monitoring hydraulic fluid for contaminants is the best way to predict and prevent unexpected failures and avoid costly repairs. Building out an arsenal of contamination sensors is critical for asset protection. Solid contamination sensors, or particle counters, are one of […]

Equipment Feeling The Burn? Fix It With Filtration.

Comments Off on Equipment Feeling The Burn? Fix It With Filtration.

Effects of Overheating on Hydraulic & Lubricating Systems Rising temperatures during the summer months can make working conditions tougher for everyone, including machinery. When equipment overheats, it can have serious effects up to and including catastrophic failure. This is due to two primary consequences of overheating: reduced oil viscosity, and accelerated oil degradation. Reduced Oil […]

Is Overheating Grinding Your Gears? Try the Gearbox Cooling Skid.

Comments Off on Is Overheating Grinding Your Gears? Try the Gearbox Cooling Skid.

What is a gear box? Gear boxes are a fundamental part of many industrial and mobile machines. They consist of an enclosed gear assembly used to change torque and speed between a drive (e.g. a motor) and a load. These systems are frequently used in any power transmission application with rotary motion that requires a […]

Comments Off on It’s Time To Modernize Your Maintenance Strategy

The best way to deal with issues in your fluid power operation is preventing them from happening in the first place, right? Just change your oil or fluid regularly, problem solved. Not so fast. Focusing solely on a preventative maintenance strategy could be costing your business unnecessary time and resources! Predictive maintenance, on the other […]

Filtration for a More Sustainable Operation

Comments Off on Filtration for a More Sustainable Operation

There’s no sugar coating it: Industrial operations account for a large portion of CO2 generated by human activities. In recent years, industrial operations globally accounted for nearly ¼ of carbon emissions. As a result, many companies and operations have established sustainability goals with the aim of cutting emissions and waste associated with their activities. However, […]

Protection from Cottonwood: What You Need To Know

Comments Off on Protection from Cottonwood: What You Need To Know

Spring is officially here, and while many welcome the warmer weather, spring conditions can bring higher risks of contamination. (And no, we’re not just talking about allergens!) One specific phenomenon, ‘cottonwood season,’ poses a particular risk for industrial operations using cooling towers, open loop systems, and other process fluid systems exposed to the outside air. […]
