Improved 4-Micron Fluid Filter Cart



The Kaman Distribution Group, a distributor of industrial products, services and solutions, offers the Kaman Filter Cart, a portable filter system for many varieties of industrial fluids, including lubricants, quenching fluids, coolants, synthetic oils and petroleum-based fluids. The Filter Cart has the capability to filter out contaminant particles down to 4 microns - half the diameter of a red blood cell - the smallest particles that can be removed without stripping the beneficial additives out of the fluid.

"By some estimates, anywhere from 70% to 90% of hydraulic system failures can be attributed to contaminants in oil, resulting in downtime, lost productivity and negative impacts on revenues," said a company spokesperson. By filtering fluids for re-use, thereby prolonging fluid life, and the life of the machinery, producers are also able to save the costs of hazardous waste storage and disposal of used fluids.

The Kaman Fluid Analysis Program is a preventative maintenance solution offered by Kaman as an additional follow-on service. This analysis, provided through an ISO 17025 A2LA accredited testing laboratory, can detect equipment failures before they happen, indicating root causes of failure and allowing equipment operators to prevent catastrophic shutdowns and production losses. Online, near-instantaneous results let producers change daily maintenance practices on the fly, realizing cost savings from day one.

The 16" hard rubber wheels and ruggedized steel frame construction of the Kaman Filter Cart Model 634 allow it to be easily transported to any stationary apparatus where needed. It can be pushed, pulled or lifted by crane or forklift to almost any machine within an operating environment.

The Kaman Filter Cart features an industrial-grade 5 GPM internal gear pump, utilizing a gear-within-a-gear mechanism. "Designed more than 70 years ago, this has proven effective for generations in handling a broad range of fluids," said a company spokesperson. "True three-tooth engagement between rotor and pinion extends the service life of the pump and allows for pumping of higher-viscosity lubricants and gear oils."

A 30-micron pre-filter and a 4-micron final filter assembly are available as standard equipment on the Kaman Filter Cart. The 30-micron filters collect the larger particles while the 4-micron does the polishing. All filter elements used on the Kaman Filter Carts are a Beta ratio 1,000 or greater. The Beta rating, an industry standard way of rating an element's performance, is obtained by counting contaminant particles in the inlet oil, then counting the particles in the outlet oil after it passes through the element. The formula for the Beta ratio is the particle count coming in divided by the particle count going out. Beta 1,000 means that for every 1,000 particles that pass through the element, only one comes out: it removes 999 out 1,000 particles (99.9% effective).

"This filter cart is designed from the wheels up to help our customers perform more effectively and efficiently. Even the best-designed hydraulic systems produce contaminants during normal use. The Kaman Filter Cart can restore fluids to better-than-new condition," said David Mayer, Vice President, Marketing & Services, Kaman Distribution.

In addition to the portable filter cart, Kaman also provides two offline filtration models, the 734 Skid-Mounted filtration system and the 834 Wall-Mounted System. Featuring a 1 HP 230/460V 3-phase electric motor, these models are designed for permanent/stationary use with hydraulic, gearbox and lube systems. Replacement filter cartridge kits in varying micron/filtration levels are also available from Kaman. Filtration level is dependent upon the application. Contact a Kaman representative to select the appropriate filter for your needs.
