DONALDSON Australasia has released Filter Buddy, a hand-held portable filtration unit to enable Australian operators to kidney loop reservoirs which normally cannot be done with larger filter carts.
According to Donaldson, the Filter buddy working at a rate as high as 7.6L/min suits many applications including fluid transfer, offline filtration of hydraulic oils and lubricants, water removal, transmission fluids, and the double-checking of purity in new fluids.
The company says the Filter Buddy features dual HMK04 filtration using its exclusive high efficiency Synteq media. The filters are plumbed in series, giving uses the option of coarse/fine particle removal or the ability to install a water absorbing element for water/particle removal.
There are two models available for the portable filtration unit, a standard low viscosity version for fluids up to 900 SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds) and a high viscosity version for fluids up to 8,000 SUS.
In fluid transfer, it ensures fluid being transferred from a drum or tote is clean. During offline filtration the unit supplements existing filtration to achieve target ISO cleanliness levels.
In water removal applications, Filter Buddy helps remove free water from an operating system. With new fluids, it provides the all-important task of double checking against the presence of manufacturers’ contaminants.
