RMFSYSTEMSPURE POWERADVANCED FILTRATION & MONITORING SYSTEMSCLEAN OIL • CLEAN MACHINE • CLEAN MANUFACTURING

THE PURE POWER OF RMF SYSTEMS RMF SYSTEMS OFFERS THE MOST COMPLETE AND EFFICIENT OIL CLEANLINESS, CONDI- TIONING AND MONITORING SOLUTIONS. CONTAMINATED OIL IS THE NUMBER 1 SOURCE OF MALFUNCTIONS IN MOBILE AND INDUSTRIAL HYDRAULIC APPLICATIONS. RMF SYSTEMS PREVENTS CONTAMINATION, WHETHER IT BE PARTICLE, WATER OR AIR BORNE. CLEAN OIL PROLONGS THE SERVICE LIFE OF MACHINERY AND FLUIDS, REDUCES MACHINE DOWN TIME DUE TO MAINTENANCE AND MALFUNCTIONS, RESULTING IN INCREASED PROFITS.

AIR CONDITIONERS DESICCANT BREATHERS THE RMF AIR CONDITIONERS ARE AVAILABLE IN SEVERAL RANGES. THE AIR CONDITIONERS ARE SUITED FOR HYDRAULIC POWER UNITS, LUBE AND OIL TANKS, GEARBOXES, DIESEL FUEL TANKS AND STORAGE TANKS FOR BIODEGRADABLE FLUIDS. CONDENSATION IN RESERVOIRS Hydraulic and lubricating oils must be kept free from contamination and water. Most fluid reservoirs must be able to breathe, thus allowing water vapor and solid contaminants to enter. Temperature fluctuations in the reservoir will cause this water vapor to condense which will not only cause oxidation of the oil, but can also lead to considerable mechanical damage.WHERE CAN IT BE USED?

OIL MIST Air vents are used to compensate changes in air volume above the fluid level in gear boxes, hydraulic reservoirs, pump housings etc. High temperatures and thermal expansion cause migration of oil vapors through the air vent, blocking air filters and causing oil spills on machine surfaces. These fluid spills cause both an environmental and safety issue, they are also the cause of shortened air filter life and avoidable fluid consumption. In case of dynamic, volatile gearbox systems not only Oil Mist can migrate through air vents, but fluid splash can cause extreme fluid migration.20

FILTER ELEMENTS THE PRINCIPAL OF THE RMF SYSTEMS FILTERS IS BASED ON THE UNIQUE ORIGINAL FILTER ELEMENTS. WITH A CHOICE OF FILTER FINENESS DOWN TO 0.5 MICRON THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REMOVE EVEN THE SMALLEST OF DIRT PARTICLES FROM THE OIL. RMF SYSTEMS OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF ELEMENTS IN MICRON SIZES, FILTER MEDIA AND FLUID COMPATIBILITY. COMBI-ELEMENTS (WATER AND SOLID PARTI- CLE RETENTION) COMPLEMENT THE UNIQUE RANGE. CELLULOSE ELEMENTS The RMF Systems Cellulose filter elements are unique in their design. They consist of several hundred layers of long fiber cellulose which are wound on a perforated center tube. The micro filter element works as a fine filter through which oil passes, trapping solid particles throughout all the layers of cellulose. The long fiber cellulose is also capable of absorbing water, adding the benefit of water removal from the oil. RMF Systems cellulose elements are extremely efficient and have a large dirt holding capacity. FIBERGLASS ELEMENTS RMF Systems offers a range of Fiberglass filter elements in a fineness of 1 micron to 12 micron (de- pending on housing). The Fiberglass filter elements (conventional pleated construction) are extremely efficient and have a large dirt holding capacity. These filter elements are particularly suited for ge- arbox applications where high viscosity fluids limit the use of the cellulose elements. WATER SORB FILTER INSERTS RMF Systems offers a specially designed Water Sorb combination filter element: water absorbing and particle retention. The elements have layers of polymers in between layers of fiberglass, creating a unique media to remove both water and solid particles. WATER SORB SPIN-ON ELEMENTS RMF Systems offers a specially designed Spin- on filter, the H2O Sorb for water absorbing and particle retention. This Spin-on filter element with a fineness of 20 micron is constructed of a unique medium containing water absorbing polymer which chemically bonds water.22
