Downtime is a costly problem
Large process machines are designed to run 24/7 on stable operating conditions. Unplanned shutdown is always a costly problem due the vast and complex processes involved. For example, just the restart
process of a machine could take 15-30 minutes, and if troubleshooting or repair work is required, then several hours will be added to total shutdown time. On large machines this could quickly add up to costs of 10.000 - 50.000 € per shutdown. Reliable oil circulation systems are essential machine components that support the reduction of unexpected downtime.
It is not uncommon for these downtimes to be caused by insufficient lubrication.
Water and particle contamination in oil cause wear and reduce oil service life. The lifetime of oil is influenced by contamination – if left unchecked in a system, the contaminants cause the oil to continually degrade, until it is no longer functional.
What would it mean, if you could have an all-in-one unit for:
• Lubrication (oil supply)
• Water and air removal
• Filtration and cooling
SKF Flowline oil supply unit
SKF Flowline is an oil supply unit for oil circulation systems. The unique cylindrical design of the stainless-steel reservoir saves space and allows a much shorter oil rest time, which means that only half of the amount of oil is required compared to traditional reservoirs. The unit also features a perfect arrangement and interaction of pumps, filters, monitoring and smart control devices, resulting in a first-class oil circulation and oil conditioning system. An oil conditioning system that can efficiently reduce contaminants such as abrasive and oxidized particles, air and water. In addition, SKF Flowline units are equipped with reservoir heating to support smooth and a virtually leakage-free machine start-up. Our well proven standard Flowline range can be enhanced with extra fine filters, head space air dryer, oil condition sensors or control unit based on customer need and application. Other essential oil circulation system components like flowmeters, telescopic return line pipes, sump pump units will complete oil circulation lubrication offer.
