Features
filling hydraulic systems with new fluid
The term "new fluid" may give the impression of an acceptable fluid. Unfortunately this fluid is not clean. According to a "new fluid" survey conducted in 1972 in the USA in cooperation with over 50 concerned companies, new oil added to a fluid system (at the time of manufacture, as makeup fluid during its lifetime, or as a total replacement fluid) has a 50:50 chance of being too dirty for components to tolerate and causing a serious reduction in the components' service life.

RNLA has the same experience. The filtercart is able to pre-filter this fluid.

draw off hydraulic fluid
As with other system components, hydraulic fluids can and will, in time degrade, wear out and fail. The physical and chemical properties can be affected so drastically that the fluid becomes totally unsuitable for its intended applications. Maintenance personnel have a lot of difficulties to drain often a large volume of hydraulic oil and handle it properly to avoid pollution of the environment. The filtercart is doing the work properly, whilst by setting a simple valve, the filters are by-passed.

flushing and system cleaning
System contamination consists of the residue from the manufacturing process, disintegrated material from an operational failure, service wear debris, ingested environmental contaminant and intruded debris from the overhaul of the systems. If the degradation of fluid only has been caused by particulate contaminant, the system and/or the reservoir can be flushed by the filtercart even during operation of the hydraulic system.

Advantages:
documentation is available in Dutch language (only translation is needed) and consists of;
- maintenance/instruction card
- user- and maintenance manual
- detailed parts list
- configuration drawings

main components provided with Nato-Stocknumbers

spare parts delivery assurance during 10 years (with possibility for another 10 years)

quality assurance according AQAP110 and approval tests executed by RNLA.
