Hy-Pro Sawmill Hydraulic and Lube Oil Contamination Control Case Study

The Problem

Saw mills operate multiple pieces of large equipment with hydraulic systems. When this equipment faces unplanned downtime due to important components becoming fouled from contaminated fluid profits decrease while production costs increase. This causes a huge financial burden that can feel exponential as components must be repaired or replaced. Implementing Hy-Pro's Total Systems Cleanliness Approach will reduce downtime and expenses while increasing efficiency and productivity.

The Costs & Opportunity

When all factors such as maintenance personnel hours, replacement parts, fluid consumed and the decrease in profitability are considered it is easy to understand the substantial cost impact that occurs due to fluid that is poorly cared for. Identifying your fluid contamination issues provides an excellent opportunity to lower operating costs and increase efficiency.

The Solution

Applying the Total Systems Cleanliness Approach is necessary to maximize uptime, extend component life, extend fluid life, reduce maintenance resource demands and reduce fluid disposal costs. Upgrading to DFE rated G8 Dualglass filter elements with absolute efficiency, installing Hy-Dry Desiccant Breathers and installing additional off-line filtration where necessary can be very effective.
