How do you prevent moisture and dirt in systems and drums?
Prevention is better than cure.
Hydraulic and lubricating oils must be kept free of contamination and water. Most reservoirs must be able to breathe, allowing water vapor and solid particles to enter the oil. Temperature fluctuations in the reservoir result in condensation, which not only leads to oxidation of the oils, but also to potentially significant mechanical damage. Aerators prevent moisture and dirt from entering systems and oil-filled drums.
These are the advantages:
- The oil remains in optimal condition
- It involves a closed filling principle without atmospheric influence.
- You extend the life of the oil
- You ensure the cleanliness of the oil.
Aerators are available in various sizes and designs, depending on system capacity and mounting thread. There are aeration kits for hydraulic systems, for gearboxes, for horizontal and vertical drums, and aeration, filling, and sampling kits.
How does it work?
Aerators ensure that dry and clean air can enter a reservoir or oil drum. The air first passes through a gel pack containing drying granules that extract moisture from the air. The dried air then passes through a filter element to filter out dirt particles. The result: the air in the drum is both dry and clean!
Revisable
All aerators can be overhauled and all possible replacement parts are available, such as filter heads and drying granules.
