Puradyn 240 Bypass Oil Filtration System
The Puradyn Bypass Oil Filtration System significantly lowers the cost of oil-related maintenance by allowing lubricating oil to remain continuously clean, maintaining proper viscosity and replenishing base additives (in engines). Suitable for engine and hydraulic applications, the Puradyn system reduces new oil purchases and equipment downtime, and simplifies logistics through the reduction of oil transport to remote locations, waste oil handling and disposal. The system is ideal for vertical and/or horizontal directional drill rigs and works with all types of fuel in all types of environments, including temperature, precipitation and altitude extremes.
By filtering solid contaminants to below one micron while removing gaseous and liquid contamination, the Puradyn 240 Model Systems provides microfiltration for engines with an oil sump capacity of up to 85 gallons and can be used in multiples on engines that hold amounts of lubricating oil in excess of 400 gallons. A simple oil analysis will check oil condition, including wear metals and viscosity levels, for a reported “good for continued use,” keeping the oil and your equipment in operation.
Remote monitoring of the system enables equipment to operate safely and continuously until the sensor and/or oil analysis indicates the need to change oil. Working together, the Puradyn system, oil analysis and sensor will keep equipment operating at peak efficiency.
