Mobile Offline Filtration for Hydraulic and Lubrication Systems
The Eaton HYD IFPM 32 represents a premier solution in the realm of mobile, offline fluid purification. Designed to enhance the reliability, longevity, and efficiency of hydraulic systems, this fully automated unit specializes in the removal of water, gases, and solid contaminants from a wide range of fluids. Whether dealing with transformer oils or heavy gear lubricating oils, the IFPM 32 provides a compact, PLC-controlled answer to contamination challenges.
Comprehensive Contaminant Removal
Fluid contamination is a leading cause of system failure in industrial machinery. The Eaton IFPM 32 is engineered to tackle the three major forms of impurities:
- Water: Removes free, emulsified, and dissolved water, preventing corrosion and fluid degradation.
- Gases: Eliminates free and dissolved gases to prevent cavitation and sponginess in hydraulic responses.
- Solids: Filters out solid particulate matter that causes abrasive wear on critical components.
Key Features and Operation
The IFPM 32 stands out due to its intelligent automation and user-friendly design. It is equipped with a PLC controller and a touch display, allowing operators to easily monitor system performance. One of its critical components is the standard installed WSPS 05 water sensor, which provides continuous measurement of the fluid’s water saturation level. If the system detects anomalies or filter clogging, it can initiate an automatic shutdown to protect equipment.
Core Capabilities:
- Continuous Monitoring: Real-time tracking of fluid temperature, water saturation, and filter status.
- Versatility: Suitable for a broad viscosity range (56…3200 SUS), making it adaptable to various industrial fluids.
- Mobility: Designed as a portable solution, it can be easily moved to confined areas or between different machines in a facility.

Applications
The Eaton HYD IFPM 32 is ideal for industries requiring high-purity fluids to maintain operational stability. Its compact footprint allows it to operate in tight spaces often found in:
- Power Generation (Transformer Oils)
- Marine Hydraulics
- Heavy Manufacturing (Gear Lubricating Oils)
- Injection Molding Systems
- Presses and Metalworking Machinery
By maintaining fluid cleanliness, facilities can reduce the frequency of fluid changes, minimize waste disposal costs, and prevent unplanned downtime caused by component wear or valve stiction.
