Off-line units with water sorb

RMF systems radial micro filter units are characterised by their extremely efficient filter elements with a fineness of 0.5 micron. If required different micron sizes are available to suit any specific application.
The off-line filters can be equipped with special water absorbing pre-filters in case of extreme water contamination, these water absorbing spin-on cans will remove most of the water prior to the fluid reaching the cellulose element.

Specially designed for industrial hydraulic installations the RMF Off-line filters are available in single or multiple housing configurations. The off-line filter units can be easily mounted to new and existing hydraulic installations. By means of an integrated pump-motor unit in the off-line filter, the oil is pumped from the reservoir through the filter unit and after filtering the oil is then returned to the tank.

Economical
The hydraulic market accepts that 80% of mechanical failures are caused by contamination in the system.
The RMF Water Absorbing Off-line filters attack this contamination at source and in addition to solid particles, these filters are also capable of removing water from the oil. This prevents the catalytic reaction of water and solid particle contamination, resulting in extended useable oil life. The use of RMF filters means less defects, less maintenance, and less wear and tear of the hydraulic components.


Water absorbing
RMF Water absorbing filters are off-line filters that use a special water absorbing spin-on as a pre-filter. The fluid is pumped through the pre-filter which removes most water and larger solid contamination, in the second stage the fluid passes through the RMF cellulose micro filter where final water removal takes place as well as solid particle removal.

Applications
RMF Water absorbing Off-line filter units can be fitted to every imaginable industrial application where hydraulic and/or lubrication systems are present.
The standard range of Off-line filters can be utilised in reservoirs with a maximum volume of 11.000 litres. A large selection in electrical motors is available ranging from single phase, three phase to explosion proof.
In recent years RMF Systems have developed a great deal of experience in cleaning and keeping clean hydraulic and lubrication systems in:
- steel industry;
- plastic moulding industry;
- maritime industry;
- petro chemical industry;
- paper industry.
