Oil cleanliness is vital for critical machinery. Many studies shows that 70 - 80% of oil related failures are due to contaminated oil. Therefore, it is crucial for any machinery operators to ensure oil cleanliness is within if not better than machinery manufacturer's recommended level.
Standard in-line (OEM) filter is not meant to clean oil
Standard in-line (OEM) filters are limited: they use coarse media (10-25 micron) that miss critical 2-7 micron abrasive particles, have low dirt capacity, are vulnerable to pressure spikes, and ignore water and varnish. These contaminants that pass through these filters will cause premature wear and tear and costly unscheduled downtime.
The superior solution is Offline Filtration (kidney loop systems).
Offline filters are dedicated, standalone units continuously "polish" the oil, achieving ultra-fine, absolute filtration (down to 3 microns). They provide comprehensive contaminant control by removing solid particles, water, and varnish 24/7, even when the machine is idle. This process extends component life 2-10 times, reduces oil changes, and eliminates up to 80% of oil-related failures.
CJC® Offline Filters are the industry benchmark, using proprietary natural cellulose-fiber depth filter inserts for 3 µm absolute depth filtration. It was designed to simultaneously removes particles, large volumes of water, and soft degradation products (varnish/sludge). CJC® Filters maintain oil quality cleaner than new.
Offline filtration is a critical investment that maximizes uptime, slashes maintenance costs, and boosts efficiency by securing the longevity and reliability of vital assets. Don't settle for "clean enough"—invest in total oil cleanliness. Stop managing failures and start managing your oil now.
