Gear Oil Filtration Machine

Gearboxes that run dirty usually have shorter lives than those that run clean. Gears, bearings, and the lubricant all suffer greatly from contamination. It has long been researched and experienced by every industry that clean oil improves the reliability and lifetime of these vital components.

It is an irony that many gear oil lubrication systems are sold without filter systems capable of maintaining clean gear oil. To get more/extended life from the investment in a gearbox, the industry should invest in an offline filtration system to keep the gearbox in supreme operating condition — offline filtration is a small premium spent towards protecting all rotating components in a gearbox.

Gearbox applications in every sector of industry present many challenges when it comes to achieving and maintaining an aggressive level of oil cleanliness. RTES recommends that all gearboxes should have contamination control systems in place that give the gears, bearings and oil a fighting chance to survive.
