The Importance of Silt Removal Filtration in Mobile Vehicle Hydraulic Systems 690606
This paper discusses the causes of abrasive wear in mobile vehicle hydraulic systems and presents laboratory and field data that show why ultrafine filtration is required to control degradation of fluid system components caused by abrasive wear. Among the advantages of ultrafine filtration are the vehicle manufacturer's reduced warranty and flushing costs, and user benefits of longer fluid and component life, less downtime, fewer spares, and less maintenance man-hours.
