Oil Filter Carts & Systems

Oil filter carts are designed to provide a portable mode of off-line kidney loop filtration, flushing and fluid transfer. Our oil filter carts and kidney loop filtration systems are rugged industrial systems for use where cleanliness of oil is critical. These oil filtration systems feature BETA 1000 Absolute rated micro-glass filter elements and Adsorptive Ion Exchange Resin Media Filters for Varnish Removal.

Particulate Filters are available in a variety of micron retention ratings to meet any target ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code requirements and for any industrial system.

Common applications include lube oil and hydraulic fluid reservoirs, gear box filtration, phosphate ester EHC systems, Skydrol filtration, governor speed control hydraulic systems and mobile equipment hydraulics. These oil filtration systems are an essential part of plant reliability and the reduction of unplanned downtime. They greatly extend the life of any rotating, reciprocating or hydraulic equipment.

Filter Cart System Uses:

  • To remove harmful particulates, water and varnish
  • Filtering new and used oil
  • Transferring filtered oil
  • Cleaning & transferring lubricants
  • Draining used oil
  • Contamination control

Standard Features

These systems are available in a variety of flow rates ranging from 2 GPM to more than 500 GPM and standard features include TEFC motors, positive displacement gear or screw pumps with integral pressure relief, top loading filter assemblies, color coded differential pressure gauges to monitor filter life, NEMA 4 electrical enclosures and a two-part epoxy paint coating.

Single phase or three phase electrical connections for any electrical service available throughout the world.

These two images show medium capacity systems with multiple stages filtration and heat. The system on the left is a compact hand truck style system with an aluminum chassis and three stages of filtration.  The system on the right processes at 25 GPM and has 32KW oil heaters and a leaser particle counter.

Light Weight Aluminum Portable System

This very capable yet light weight system has massive dirt holding capacity and is capable of extremely fine filtration. It accepts a variety of filter elements and media types to fit nearly any application.  It operates from a 230V single phase circuit and includes a 7KW oil heater and moisture in oil monitor that displays real time relative saturation levels.  This system is ideal for applications that dictate high capacity and performance in areas where heavy systems may be difficult to maneuver.

High Flow Portable Flushing Systems
