THE SYSTEM
Klassen Hydraulics Inc. Machine type:
Canada Paper machine bowser lube system.
Oil type: 12,000 litres of Chevron CLARITY 220
2004 ISO VG220.
THE PROBLEM
Poor oil quality led to a reduction in the bearing
life expectancy. Initial ISO code was 22/21/18
(2/5/15 μm); target cleanliness level was set at
19/16/13. Water ingress was also a problem,
though they already had a vacuum dehydrator
installed to help dry the oil.
THE SOLUTION
CJC™ Fine Filter HDU 2*27/108 GP, Norske Canada
A CJC™ Fine Filter HDU 2*27/108 GP-EPT
was selected to bring the oil down to the target
cleanliness level. This unit was fitted with a
GP-33-4 pump at a flow of 3,200 litres/hour. We OIL ANALYSIS
chose a CJC™ Filter Insert BLA 27/27 for its
ability to handle excessive water concentration.
Particle Count vs Time
THE TEST 30,000
Oil samples were taken prior to installation, and 2 Micron
sent to the laboratory for analysis. Samples 25,000
5 Micron
Particles in 1 ml
were then taken at regular intervals, and the re- 20,000
sults compared.
15,000
THE RESULT 10,000
The sample results show a dramatic improve-
ment in the first three months; particulate levels 5,000
15 Micron
dropped to 18/17/14 as the oil quality improved.
The subsequent months show a more gradual im- 0
