Brand: SEIDE
Product: Filtration and Flushing Machine
Type: Industrial Hydraulic Equipment
Key Features:
The Seide RK91 Filtration and Flushing Machine is engineered to ensure hydraulic system cleanliness, reducing failure rates caused by contaminants that often go unnoticed but can lead to catastrophic damage. Over 80% of hydraulic system failures are attributed to contamination, and RK91 combats this through a multi-stage filtration process capable of achieving NAS5-level cleanliness. This cleanliness standard is critical for maintaining the longevity and operational performance of hydraulic components, particularly in sensitive applications involving servo and proportional valves, where even the smallest particulate matter can disrupt performance.
The RK91 operates both off-line and on-line, drawing hydraulic oil from the reservoir, filtering it through multiple stages, and returning it to the system without interrupting active operations. This machine is equipped with high-capacity filters ranging from 60 microns down to 5 microns, ensuring comprehensive removal of particles. It also includes an advanced particulate counting device, providing real-time monitoring of contamination levels, which enables proactive maintenance.
The RK91 Filtration and Flushing Machine is designed to address the specific challenges posed by microscopic contaminants in hydraulic systems. These particles, though invisible to the naked eye, can cause extensive wear and tear, resulting in unexpected maintenance costs and operational downtime. With a powerful pump capacity of up to 950 liters per minute, the RK91 is suitable for both small and large hydraulic systems, allowing it to circulate and clean hydraulic oil efficiently. This continuous operation capability allows for cleanliness maintenance without requiring system shutdowns.
Hydraulic systems are extremely sensitive to contamination, which can result in significant wear on critical components, system inefficiency, and high repair costs. The RK91 Filtration and Flushing Machine is specifically engineered to prevent these issues by ensuring oil cleanliness to the NAS5 standard, compliant with ISO and NAS cleanliness levels. This level of filtration is essential for high-precision hydraulic applications where even minor contamination can lead to serious operational disruptions.
On-line and Off-line Filtration Capabilities: The RK91 offers both on-line and off-line filtration modes. Off-line filtration involves circulating hydraulic oil from the reservoir through the filtration unit and returning it to the system, all without halting operations. This mode is ideal for regular maintenance as it enables continuous cleanliness. The on-line filtration mode, meanwhile, facilitates real-time contaminant management, maintaining optimal system hygiene without interrupting system flow.
Multi-Stage Filtration Process: The RK91 uses a multi-stage filtration process, with filters ranging from 60 microns down to 5 microns, capturing a wide range of particle sizes. The machine is equipped to handle up to 900 liters per minute, making it suitable for both small and large systems. The final filtration stage includes a 5-micron filter, ideal for ensuring even the smallest particulate matter is captured, resulting in NAS5-level oil cleanliness.
Real-Time Particulate Counting System: Equipped with an advanced particulate counter, the RK91 can monitor contamination levels in real-time, allowing maintenance teams to act proactively. The counting system tracks contamination levels according to ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 standards, enabling precise contamination control and helping to prevent potential system failures.
Oil Analysis and ISO/NAS Standards: The RK91 achieves ISO 4406 cleanliness levels, filtering down to NAS5. This is especially important in systems with sensitive components such as servo and proportional valves. Meeting these standards prevents unplanned downtimes and minimizes wear, reducing maintenance costs over the system’s lifespan. Regular oil analysis is akin to a “check-up” for the system, providing early warnings of contamination.
Reynolds Number and Flow Calculations: Hydraulic flushing requires turbulent flow (Reynolds number ≥ 2320) to effectively dislodge contaminants. The RK91 is optimized to maintain the necessary Reynolds number based on the system’s specific viscosity, temperature, and diameter parameters, ensuring effective flushing and cleaning. Accurate flow calculations improve system efficiency and decrease the flushing cycle duration.
Impact of Particle Sizes on System Health: Particles smaller than 20 microns can cause severe damage, particularly in systems with proportional valves where contaminants as small as 10 microns can be disruptive. The RK91 filters effectively reduce contaminants to below this threshold, extending the lifecycle of sensitive components. Furthermore, its particle counting capabilities measure particles between 2 to 100 microns, classifying them according to ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 standards.
Preventative Maintenance with Seide RK91: The RK91 is designed as a critical maintenance tool, facilitating proactive upkeep by capturing contaminants and preventing premature system wear. With advanced filtration, the RK91 improves system reliability and reduces the frequency of repairs, ultimately lowering total operational costs. This proactive approach is especially useful in high-demand industries, where machine downtime can be highly costly.
In summary, the Seide RK91 Filtration and Flushing Machine is an essential asset for industries that rely on hydraulic systems. By incorporating preventive filtration, particulate analysis, and both on-line and off-line operation modes, the RK91 ensures that hydraulic oil remains free from contaminants, safeguarding both
