Services many different types of oils such as hydraulic or lubricating oil, compressor or gear oil, or diesel oil.
- An internal heater simultaneously removes water and particles from oil.
- Lower operational cost due to extended service life of the oil
- Less need for disposal of used filters and used oil.
- Removes more than 99 percent of all solid particles between 2 and 5 μm from the oil, and virtually all the water but none of the additives.
- Quick couplings make it easy to move from tank to tank.
OCM
Continuous, automatic and efficient separation of water and sludge components from contaminated lubricating and hydraulic oils. Designed for oil flows from 4 to 33 gallons per minute.
- Oil Cleaning Modules (OCM) are systems containing a separator centrifuge, a heater, a feed pump, valves and a control panel.
- Lower operating costs due to reduced oil consumption, lower disposal costs and improvements in both product quality and the work environment.
MAB
Solids-retaining centrifuges for separating water and particles from mineral oils such as fuel and lubricating oils, compressor oils, hydraulic, running in and metal working oils designed to handle oil flows from 4 to 38 gallons per minute.
- Water and particle free oil is essential for the quality of most processes.
- Complete range of separators
Lube oil cleaning module in operation
The Alfa Laval Oil Cleaning Modules OCM have been developed for fuel and lube oil cleaning to remove solids (particles) and water simultaneously. They are plug and play modules with standard options as for example electrical heater and mobile kit - customization is possible.
Service
