Efficient filtration for higher viscosity fluids

Lubrication management specialist Trico has developed the Gear and Lube Oil Filtration System, which has been designed specifically for filtering higher viscosity fluids. It features a 4 GPM flow capacity and a maximum viscosity capability of 10,000 SUS at 100°F.

This system can process high viscosity fluids with much greater efficiency than traditional hydraulic filter systems, Trico says. Hydraulic filter systems typically operate in a “bypass” mode, actually filtering very little of the fluid, because of higher pressures involved with higher viscosities.
The system also utilizes a multi-stage filtration process to ensure equipment receives the cleanest oil possible for increased life, and differential pressure gauges that indicate when each of the filtration elements need to be changed. Two sampling ports are included as well for safely sampling and monitoring the condition of the oil.

The system is available in two models, a hand-held system and a portable cart system.
