Certified for sustainability, this product proudly carries the prestigious GreenPro Certification (Certificate No. [ GPMSP338010 ], ensuring eco-friendly excellence.

What is meant by the Electrostatic Lube Cleaner :

An Electrostatic Lube Cleaner is a highly effective filtration system that can remove different kinds of particulates from lubricating oils. The uniqueness of this device lies in the fact that it is able to achieve beyond the required standard level of oil cleanliness by targeting oil impurities of submicron size with the application of electrostatic forces for filtration.


Why do we need an Electrostatic Lube Cleaner?

  • Better machinery performance:The cleaner oil ensures reduced friction and wear, which makes work smoother for machines and increases their lives.
  • Cost saving:Regular changing of oil and purchasing new ones may add pressure on your pocket. However, the cleaner ensures that oil is constantly made clean and you do not have to change it. Additionally, clean oil means low maintenance costs.
  • It is also environmentally friendly:It extends the life of the oil meaning, less fresh oil will be used and disposed of, which is good for our environment.
  • Reliability:It facilitates the life expectancy of a machine through the constant supply of clean oil, and this avoids surprise breakage

  6. Comes in online-dedicated type installation (with almost nil power consumption).


Key Considerations:

  • Oil Compatibility: Ensure that the oil used is compatible with electrostatic filtration.
  • Maintenance of System:The performance of the “ELC” will be at its best if it receives regular maintenance.
  • Operation Environment:Consider the operational environment and select an “ELC” model that meets the specific needs of your industry.
  • Initial Investment:The long-term savings and benefits are enough reasons for higher initial costs than in traditional filters.


Conclusion:

The Electrostatic Lube Cleaner by Minimac Systems is a necessary element used for making sure the purity of oils in various industrial sectors is kept at a high level. In fact, choosing the ELC means improving the functioning of machines, saving money on repairs, and giving real input into environmental preservation.

In addition, it acts as a medium for determining the efficiency levels of different operations.


FAQs:


Q: How does the electrostatic lube cleaner work?

A: The ELC uses electrostatic forces, which are charges in oil and contaminants that attract each other thus removing impurities from the lubricating oils; hence increasing their purity compared to other filters.


Q: What types of oil can the ELC clean?

A: The ELC can be used on hydraulic fluids, turbine fluids, transformer fluids, gear fluids, compressor fluids, etc.


Q: What are the major advantages of using ELC?

A: They comprise; a better filtration rate, prolonged oil life, better machine performance, less maintenance cost as well as a green environment.


Q: Can all industries use ELC?

A: Yes it is versatile and can be used in several industries including manufacturing, power generation, automotive, and aerospace among others such as mining and marine.
