Why is Hydraulic Oil Filtration Critical?

The Real Role of Mobile Filtration and Flushing Systems in the Industry

Hydraulic systems are the backbone of the industry, thanks to their high power density and precise control capability. However, the performance of these systems hinges on a singular factor that is often overlooked: hydraulic oil cleaning.

Field analyses and service records show that 70-80% of hydraulic system failures are directly caused by oil contamination. Therefore, hydraulic oil filtration is not just a maintenance activity but a strategic process that maintains production continuity.

What is Hydraulic Oil Contamination?

Impurities in hydraulic oil usually consist of:

Metal wear particles

Dust and environmental pollutants

Residues left after assembly and revision

Foreign substances entering the system during fat transfer

Most of these particles are at the micron level and are invisible to the naked eye. However, it causes serious performance losses and failures, especially in sensitive components such as servo and proportional valves.

Why Are Fixed System Filters Insufficient?

Many businesses think that the filters on the system are sufficient. However, fixed filters:

During the first commissioning

After maintenance and parts replacement

During oil top-up or oil change

It is not designed to meet the high pollution load that occurs.

In these cases, the filters go into the by-pass position and the dirty oil circulates directly into the system. As a result, failure becomes inevitable.

This is where mobile hydraulic filtration systems come into play.

What is Mobile Filtration?

Mobile filtration is a professional maintenance method that works independently of the hydraulic system and cleans the oil at the micron level by turning it over and over again.

Thanks to mobile filtration systems:

Oil can be cleaned without stopping the system

ISO and NAS cleanliness levels can be measured

Significantly extended oil and component life

This method is an indispensable part of preventive maintenance strategies.

What Does the Flushing Process Do?

Flushing is the process of removing the sediments accumulated in the pipelines, manifolds and connection points within the system with a high flow rate and removing them from the system.

When filtration and flushing are applied together:

In-system residues are completely cleaned

Newly installed or revised systems are commissioned safely

Malfunctions caused by start-up are prevented

For this reason, professional mobile filtration machines should be preferred with their flushing capability.

Why ISO and NAS Cleanliness Levels Matter

Hydraulic oil cleaning should be measurable, not subjective.

ISO 4406

NAS 1638

clearly define the amount of particles in the oil.

The level of cleanliness of the oil thanks to mobile filtration systems:

Measured numerically

Reported

Maintenance decisions are made based on data

This approach provides controlled maintenance rather than "predictive maintenance."

Advantages of Mobile Filtration for Businesses

Applications of mobile hydraulic filtration:

Reduces unplanned downtime

Prevents servo and pump failures

Extends oil change periods

Reduces maintenance costs

Ensures production continuity

These advantages make mobile filtration investments a quick payback.
