Vanquish Varnish with the New VEU Compact

Harmful Varnish Is On The Rise

As hydraulic oil oxidizes and degrades, a sticky substance known as varnish is deposited throughout the hydraulic system. Changing oil chemistry in modern hydraulic systems and the high pressure & temperatures achieved during equipment operation are leading to increased varnish deposits.

How Does Varnish Affect Your Hydraulic System?

Varnish accumulation in a hydraulic system causes a variety of potentially serious issues:

• Varnish deposits on hydraulic valves and other components can cause the components to stick, or even become fully jammed.
• The operating temperature of the machine may increase as the machine tries to compensate for its reduced efficiency, which can accelerate oil degradation and cause overheating.
• Machines may malfunction at critical moments as components lose efficiency or fail entirely, leading to lost productivity or safety hazards.
• Hydraulic filters and filter elements may become prematurely blocked due to varnish buildup.
• Lost productivity and frequent repairs or part replacements due to varnish buildup can become very costly.

VEU Compact: Bust Varnish Before It Can Tarnish Your Equipment!

The new VEU Compact has been specially engineered to tackle varnish and protect hydraulic systems from its harmful effects. As the risk of varnish contamination and related problems proliferate, having a specialized filtration solution can save you and your system considerable trouble.

• A cost-effective, accessible varnish mitigation solution
• Compact design and small footprint makes installation simpler on machines with smaller reservoirs or in areas with limited space
• Dual stage filtration combines ultra-efficient synthetic media and a high density cellulose layer for maximized particulate capture while maintaining filter efficiency
• Does not require a cooler for optimal varnish extraction
• Increases oil service life by removing contaminants
• Backed by the technology, engineering experience, and quality assurance of Schroeder Industries
