Automotive industry
Gear oil and coolant filtration systems
Our customer
International automotive supplier specializing in transmission technology.
Our solution
We supplied filtration systems to treat gear oil and coolant for testing and filling processes. The filtration methods are matched to the two process fluids.
The oil systems use two precoat filters with a filter area of 12 m² each, together with fine filters. The stated rating of the fine filters is 6 µm.
Coolant is filtered using a pressure belt filter with a filter area of 1.5 m² and bag filters with a stated rating of 50 µm. The overall solution combines different filtration methods to prepare the fluids for testing and filling processes.
Advantages for the customer
Filtration matched to each process fluid
Gear oil is treated with precoat filters and fine filters, and coolant with a pressure belt filter and bag filters. The combination is matched to the different process fluids and filtration requirements.
Reduce particle carryover into the process
Filtration removes particles from the gear oil and coolant. This can reduce the risk of contaminants being carried with the fluids into testing and filling stations.
