Applications
The UFM 15 is engineered for a wide range of industrial applications. Its mobility allows it to serve multiple machines within a single facility.
- Hydraulic Systems: Preventive maintenance for presses, injection molding, and lifting equipment.
- Lubrication Systems: Filtering gear oils and turbine oils to prevent wear.
- Fluid Transfer: Safely transferring fluids from storage drums to reservoirs while filtering out contaminants introduced during transport.
- System Flushing: Cleaning new or repaired systems prior to start-up.
Why Choose the Eaton UFM 15?
Contamination is the leading cause of hydraulic system failure. The Eaton UFM 15 addresses this directly by providing high-performance offline filtration that operates independently of the main system loop. This allows for continuous filtration even when the main machinery is offline, ensuring that fluids are always clean and ready for operation.
Data on Contamination Control
| ISO 4406 Cleanliness Level | Component Life Extension Factor |
|---|---|
| 22/20/17 (Typical) | 1x (Baseline) |
| 18/16/13 | 2x Extension |
| 16/14/11 | 4x Extension |
Note: The Eaton UFM 15 is capable of achieving very low ISO cleanliness levels, significantly extending the life of pumps, valves, and seals.
Standard & Optional Features
The UFM 15 can be customized to meet specific operational requirements. Standard units come equipped with high-quality gear pumps and electric motors. Optional features include:
- Water Absorption Elements: Specifically designed to remove free water from oil.
- Differential Pressure Indicators: visual or electrical indicators to signal when filter elements need changing.
- Lance and Hose Kits: Various lengths and materials to suit different facility layouts.
