Filtakleen Uk Limited, which is part of the Interlube Group of companies , have carried out some extensive tests on large pumping equipment used in the quarring and mining Industry.
The pump sets normally have the engine oil drained and replaced every 250 Hours. A trial pump was fitted to the engine and the engine oil was tested every 250 Hours. So far to date the Oil has not been replaced and the pump has been in opertion over 1000 Hours.
The tests have proved so succesfull that the oil is still cleaner than when the oil was new.
The oil has been filtered to 1 micron and the element absorbs any moisture buil up in the oil.
The savings have proven be to fantastic for the manufacturer.
