Case Study

Dirty Oil Filtration Solution for Old Molding Machines

Location: North India

Product Installed: R- SERIES

Application Background

A construction company operating a fleet of earth-moving equipment—primarily excavators and bulldozers—faced significant challenges due to contaminated hydraulic oil. The hydraulic systems of these machines are critical for their performance, and the buildup of dirt, water, and metal particles over time was adversely affecting operations.

Problem Identification

The dirty hydraulic oil led to:

Performance Issues: Decreased efficiency and slower response times in hydraulic functions.
Increased Wear: Higher rates of component wear, leading to more frequent breakdowns.
Higher Maintenance Costs: Increased costs due to regular oil changes and the need for replacing worn parts.
Downtime: Significant equipment downtime, impacting project deadlines and overall productivity.

Objective

To restore the hydraulic oil’s cleanliness and improve the performance and reliability of the earth-moving machinery while minimizing maintenance costs and downtime.

Solution

Initial Assessment:
- Conducted an oil analysis to determine contamination levels and identify specific impurities present in the hydraulic oil, such as particulate matter, water, and oxidation products.
Destiny’s Bypass Filtration System Installation:
- Implemented a multi-stage hydraulic oil filtration system that included:
  - Depth Filter: To remove water from the oil.
  - High-Efficiency Particulate Filters: To capture solid contaminants.
  - Magnetic Filters: To attract and remove ferrous particles.
Oil Cleaning Process:
- The contaminated hydraulic oil was pumped through the filtration system, which cleaned the oil in real-time, allowing for continuous operation of the machinery.
- Utilized a process that allowed for the collection of impurities while maintaining optimal oil viscosity and performance characteristics.
Regular Monitoring and Maintenance:
- Established a routine monitoring schedule for hydraulic oil quality, including regular sampling and analysis.
- Implemented a predictive maintenance strategy that allowed for timely interventions before significant issues arose.

Results

Improved Oil Quality: Post-filtration analysis showed a dramatic reduction in contamination levels, with both particulate and water content brought within acceptable limits.
Enhanced Equipment Performance: The machinery exhibited improved hydraulic response times and overall efficiency, leading to faster project completion.
Cost Reduction: The company saw a 40% decrease in maintenance costs due to fewer oil changes and reduced wear on hydraulic components.
Minimized Downtime: Equipment downtime was cut by 50%, significantly improving productivity and project timelines.
