FRIESS INDUSTRIAL FLUID CLEANING CASE STUDIES
Real process challenges.
Practical cleaning solutions.
Explore FRIESS applications in coolant purification, oil-water separation, oil skimming, magnetic filtration and industrial oil cleaning. See the operating challenges, equipment choices and results to help identify a suitable approach for your process.
A FRIESS S100 tube oil skimmer removed approximately 10,000 litres of spilled transformer oil from an inaccessible river site, preventing major environmental damage within a cost-effective response.
A FRIESS FMF 420/6 magnetic filter removed particles larger than 1 µm from grinding coolant, improved component surface quality and eliminated rejects caused by scratches and grooves.
A Turkish steel mill replaced an underperforming skimmer with the FRIESS S100 to remove surface oil continuously from cold rolling mill cooling water.
A FRIESS S100 oil skimmer removed hardened palm oil and fat from chemical wash water at more than 200 L/h, halving the wastewater oil-and-grease load.
A FRIESS EFC D4 electrostatic oil cleaner removed fine particles and oxidation products from hydraulic test-bench oil, visibly improving cleanliness within two weeks.
FRIESS hydraulic oil purification services combine oil analysis, EFR electrostatic cleaning and vacuum dehydration to reduce failures, extend oil life and lower operating costs.
A European gearbox plant used a FRIESS EFR D8 electrostatic oil cleaner to reduce hydraulic-oil particles larger than 4 µm by about 90% in a 23-hour test.
FRIESS EFR D8 reduced wood-processing hydraulic oil contamination by over 90%, improving ISO 4406 cleanliness to 16/14/11.
A FRIESS EFR D16 cleaned 3,500 litres of paint-line hydraulic oil online, cut contamination by over 90% and ended frequent motor failures.
Particle contamination damages hydraulic components; FRIESS EFR electrostatic oil cleaning removes particles from 0.05 µm to over 100 µm and can reduce related failures by up to 90%.
An 11-year-old injection moulding machine failed every two weeks; FRIESS EFR D8 removed sludge, fine particles and oxidation products, reducing failures to zero.
A FRIESS EFR D16 removed oxidation products and varnish from two 12,000-litre aluminum extrusion press hydraulic systems and restored fault-free servo-valve operation.
In addition to reducing operating costs, FRIESS oil skimmers, electrostatic oil cleaners, magnetic filters, coolant purification systems, oil separators and oil dewatering systems deliver many further benefits.
We would be pleased to explain how FRIESS fluid-cleaning systems can support your application.
