MARINE INDUSTRIES

Filmax filtration systems are critical in maintaining and ensuring equipment reliability in the marine industry. Fleets of bulk carriers, freighters, tankers, and general cargo ships require preventative maintenance. Fluid power systems are under a great deal of stress due to the natural effects of being on the water. Filmax filtration eliminates contamination problems to increase the reliability of fluid power systems and lubricated components in the marine industry. Filmax has provided hundreds of filtration units to some of the largest fleet operating companies in the USA and Europe. Below is a list of critical components affected by particle contamination:

PARTICLE AND WATER CONTAMINATION IN VITAL FLUID POWER SYSTEMS:

  • Steering Gear Hydraulics
  • Cargo Remote Operations
  • On-Ship Cranes

SEAWATER/ CONDENSED WATER CONTAMINATION:

  • Stern Tube Systems
  • Thruster Systems

WEAR PARTICLE CONTAMINATION:

  • Deck Hydraulic Units
  • Anchor Winches

FOOD GRADE OIL

Whenever there is a risk of food coming into contact with machinery oil, a food-grade oil must be used so that toxins are not transferred to the product. Filmax filters eliminate contaminants in these oils, extend oil drain intervals, and increase the life of all lubricated components.
