Filters are crucial components in lubrication systems as they help remove contaminants, debris and impurities from the lubricating oil or grease, ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of the equipment.
Bijur Delimon offers various types of filters suitable for different lubrication applications. These include:
- In-line Filters: In-line filters are installed within the lubrication system’s flow path and help capture contaminants before they reach critical components. They can be placed in the main supply lines or specific branch lines, depending on the system configuration.
- Reservoir or Tank Filters: Reservoir or tank filters are designed to filter the lubricant directly within the reservoir or tank. They are typically immersed in the lubricant, and as the oil or grease circulates, they capture contaminants, ensuring that a clean lubricant is supplied to the system.
- Return Line Filters: Return line filters are located in the lubrication system’s return line, capturing contaminants before the lubricant returns to the reservoir or tank. They help maintain the cleanliness of the lubricant by removing particles generated during operation.
- Filtration Ratings: Filters are available in different filtration ratings, which indicate the size of particles the filter can effectively capture. The filtration rating is typically specified in microns, representing the diameter of the particles. The appropriate filtration rating depends on the application requirements and the desired level of cleanliness.
- Filter Media: Bijur Delimon’s filters are equipped with filter media designed to effectively trap and retain contaminants. The filter media can include materials such as stainless steel mesh, pleated membranes, or depth filter materials. The choice of filter media depends on factors like the type of contaminants expected, flow rates and compatibility with the lubricant being used.
- Maintenance and Replacement: Regular maintenance and replacement of filters are crucial to ensure their optimal performance. Over time, filters become saturated with captured contaminants, reducing their effectiveness. Bijur Delimon provides guidelines for filter maintenance and replacement intervals to ensure the lubrication system continues to operate efficiently.
- Compatibility: When selecting filters for Bijur Delimon lubrication units, it’s important to consider compatibility with the specific lubricant or grease being used. Different lubricants may have specific requirements or considerations regarding filter compatibility, including compatibility with the lubricant’s additives, base oil or viscosity.
