In the past choices were very limited when it came to filtering lubricants with viscosities greater than 500 SUS @ 100ºF. The problem with attempting to filter a high viscosity oil with a lower viscosity system is that the pump and filters are not designed to work with higher pressures required to push high viscosity fluids through the system. As a result these low viscosity units operate primarily in “bypass” mode where little if any of the high-viscosity oil gets filtered.
That is where Trico’s High-Viscosity Hand-Held System comes in. This system is specifically designed for high-viscosity fluids associated mainly with gear oils and can filter oils up to 7,500 SUS @ 100ºF (1600 cSt @ 40ºC).
To ensure that the equipment receives the cleanest oil possible, for increased equipment life, Trico’s High-Viscosity Hand-Held Filtration System provides two-stage filtration. The oil flows through the primary filter first, where coarse particulate is removed. Then the fluid flows through the secondary filter where fine particulate and water are removed.
A variety of filter media elements are available to meet recommended manufacturer cleanliness levels.
