While conventional filters typically only remove particles in the micron range, the SKF’s RecondOil Box features Double Separation Technology (DST), which can remove particles down to nano-size from an oil. It acts as a mechanical ‘kidney’ in a machine’s oil circulation system, where it regenerates the oil by progressively removing contaminants, and then returning the oil back into circulation. As the oil is in a closed loop, it’s kept at a highly clean state continuously.
By keeping the oil continuously clean, RecondOil Box can significantly extend oil change intervals. “When DST-regeneration is combined with lubrication management and condition monitoring, oil can be circulated and re-used for much longer,” said SKF Program Manager Erik Råwall. “Sometimes, it can be circulated indefinitely.”
The nano-clean oil can also improve machine performance across a range of applications. As well as
filtering out impurities, RecondOil Box removes free, emulsified and bound water. It also prevents premature oil degradation by removing oxidation products and soluble and insoluble varnish.
