HEAVY MACHINERY
Filmax side-stream filtration systems installed on diesel engines can extend oil drain intervals up to 5 times the OEM recommendation and increase engine overhaul intervals up to 50%. In addition, Filmax filtration will significantly increase the life of all hydraulic system components by filtering down to 1 micron.
TRANSPORTATION
Filmax side-stream filtration systems installed on diesel engines will extend the oil drain interval well beyond the OEM recommendation by removing particulate greater than 2 microns and eliminating all water introduced through the combustion process. Our customers typically experience an increase in oil drain intervals in excess of 1,250 hours or 100,000 miles. In addition, Filmax filtration will also increase engine overhaul intervals up to 50%.
Hydraulics & Radiator
HYDRAULICS
Maintaining clean oil in a hydraulic system is one of the best investments a company can make, yet contamination often remains an overlooked factor behind premature machinery failure and diminished lubricant life. Over 80% of mechanical wear in lubricated components is caused by particle contamination. By filtering down to 1 micron, Filmax filtration systems maintain cleanliness level sand several grades cleaner than brand-new oil, which significantly extends the life of components and oil. Preventing contamination wear for critical lubricated components saves substantial time, money, and resources for our customers.
RADIATOR/COOLANT FILTRATION
(F1000 Series Only)
Up to 40% of all engine problems are related to the functioning of the cooling system. In order to achieve optimum engine reliability and reduce overall maintenance costs, it is essential to maintain exceptional cooling system performance. Installing a Filmax filtration system will eliminate pitting and cavitation to the liner wall of the cylinder. Implementing regular filter changes into the maintenance strategy will indefinitely extend the life of the coolant.
MINING INDUSTRIES
Filmax offers a complete line of high-quality filtration equipment to meet the specific needs of today's mining industry. We offer a full line of stationary and portable, low and high-flow units. Filmax stationary equipment is installed directly onto the application to eliminate chances of particulate contamination and the introduction of water by continuously filtering and cleaning the lubricating oil and returning it back to the crankcase. The Filmax team understands that, in some cases, maintenance and capital budgets do not allow for the installation of filtration units on every piece of equipment, and in these cases, we offer a full line of lightweight hand-held and portable filtration units that can be added to your maintenance strategy. The end result is that your equipment will spend more time in service and less time getting serviced.
