Filtration Systems
A filtration system is essential when working with hydraulic power units and other industrial equipment to keep your unit working properly and extend your system’s life. Here at Air & Hydraulic Equipment Inc., we provide all of our Tennessee locations with not only top-of-the-line fluid power systems and hydraulic equipment, but also highly efficient and convenient hydraulic filtration carts and systems.
Hydraulic or oil filtration components are vital when it comes to avoiding damage to your machines from oils or other fluid. Typically caused by harmful particles that have made their way into the lines of your machines, these filtration systems are implemented to protect your equipment.
As a precaution against contamination, the hydraulic filter cart will pass existing oil through a filtration system each cycle, a process that creates fresh fluid. Severe equipment damage can happen quickly and result in some serious headaches and unnecessary expenses. With filtration systems in place, your industrial business can avoid downtime and keep your equipment thriving in optimum health.
Portable, Convenient Solutions
One of the biggest pros of a hydraulic filtration system is its portability. With pneumatic tires that are able to withstand any job site location, your hydraulic or oil filtration systems offer hassle free transportation that makes it easy to filter your hydraulic power unit. Designed with ease in mind, these units are easily attachable.
Simply connect the unit to its correct power source, attach compatible hoses, double check the filter and allow the fluid to filter completely through. The process of connecting a quality filtration system to your industrial power units is often swift, effective and easy to follow. Protect the health of your machines and improve general efficiency and effectiveness of your systems.

Equipment Longevity
When it comes to the productivity and efficiency of your industrial systems, you’re going to need equipment that lasts a long time. Clean, filtered oil is vital to keeping your machines working for as long as possible. Investing in a hydraulic or oil filtration system will increase the lifespan of your system components.
As oil filtration carts are designed to remove any particles from your component’s oil, the continuous functionality of these systems filter a variety of element combinations. With the use of quality oil filtration systems, you can ensure a long life for your industrial facilities, resulting in fewer repairs and downtime.
Test & Track Oil Usage
Another important benefit to proper filtration techniques is the ability to test and track oil usage for your machines and overall facility. Testing the oil within your machines will allow you to determine what contaminants are affecting your machine and therefore guide you to use the correct filtration system. If you are filtering your hydraulic equipment regularly you should be able to get an accurate reading on the oil test that you have completed.
By adding testing and tracking into your filtration maintenance routine, your operations teams will have the ability to track any patterns, concerns or recognize possible improvements for the use of your machines and its oils and fluids. While you will eventually have to change the fluids in your system as general maintenance, hydraulic or oil filtration systems can allow your team to do so more strategically based on specific needs, not just guesswork.
