Acculube Introduces Economical Oil Filtration Systems for Shops in Ohio, Indiana,
and Kentucky
 This is the portable, cost-effective, rental solution to industry's demand
for contaminant-free fluids, and virtually maintenance-free filtration!
The innovative flow-through filtration system supplied and serviced by Acculube was engineered
specifically for the manufacturing fluids you use. It is a multi-element filter that forms a positive
barrier to channeling.
This highly efficient filtration technology enables the filter to retain a large volume of contaminants
without blinding, and without compromise of filter performance. It has proven to be a superior
alternative to conventional surface media filters.
How It Works in Your Facility
The Acculube Filtration System is ideal for filtering new lubricant as it's put into service. It is also ideal
for conditioning lubricants that are in use, and when transferring lubricants from tanks to reservoirs.
Hydraulic Systems Have Special Requirements
Contamination is introduced each time a ram extends and retracts. Airborne particulate can also land on the cylinder and be drawn into
the oil. As debris accumulates, it can bind or stick valves – particularly servo valves. Vane pulps and piston pumps also have elevated
sensitivity to contamination. For this reason, hydraulic systems have their own cleanliness standards, which the Acculube system
meets easily.
The Acculube Industrial Filtration System is a great alternative to buying, inventorying, installing, replacing, and managing fluid filters.
Our cost-effective rental program brings this "best-available" fluid filtration technology to your plant, for use only when you need it.
We'll set it up, and show your maintenance people the 6 simple steps for getting the greatest benefit and the greatest savings on lubricant.
