Vacuum pump oil changed out repeatedly — domestic appliance manufacturer

Challenge

Vacuum pump oil at a domestic appliance manufacturer ran over its water limit often enough that the oil had to be changed out again and again. The oil was not wearing out: it was taking on water faster than it could be replaced economically, and every change was a stoppage plus a drum.

Solution

Nano ultra-clean screening purification equipment, treating the oil in service so that the water is taken out at the rate it comes in. Vacuum dehydration does the water; the membrane holds the cleanliness, because a pump oil that is dry but dirty still wears the pump.

Outcome

Cleanliness reached NAS 3 and water content came down to 39 ppm. The oil stopped being a consumable bought on a calendar and became a charge that is maintained -- which is the whole argument for treating pump oil instead of replacing it.

The machine used on this project Vacuum Nano-Screening Integrated Machine (VOP-N Series) Nano-screening membrane combined with vacuum dehydration, reaching NAS 2. The flagship model in the range.
