Efficient Magnetic filters now offer a huge advantage in increasing the performance of Filtration units and Filter systems / fluid conditioning, and play the major part in improving/reducing equipment & system running costs thus increasing equipment availability & productivity, by effectively and efficiently removing highly damaging Ferrous contamination, Iron oxide, from critical systems, to sub micron levels, e.g.
Martin Marietta mining operations success
Having already ordered the Magnom Midi In-Line filter for an older machine used in its underground operations, Martin Marietta engineers were quick to realise that it would also be a great proposition for their brand new equipment also,
A Fletcher roof bolter that had gone down very early in its service life.
Given its working environment, it was no surprise to find that the problem was due to metal contamination of hydraulic valves, our dealer was quick to supply further Magnom solutions, which resolved their problems entirely.
Heavy duty excavator at Anglo Platinum South African
Metal contamination of Hydraulic systems was causing breakdowns on a heavy-duty Atlas Copco L12 Scoop excavator and leading to excessive downtime in Anglo Platinum’s South African mining operations.
Engineers fitted a standard Magnom In-Line unit and, on the next routine 125-hour service inspection, they found it to be heavily laden with metal contamination that would otherwise have been left circulating in the system by the conventional filters.
Site engineers reported that this resolved their ongoing hydraulic problems, resulted in longer hydraulic oil life and std barrier filter life with a realistic potential for much longer service intervals.
Keeping off road vehicles running
One of the USA’s largest and best-known dealers for Caterpillar off- road vehicles, Whayne Supply, asked Magnom, to help solve problems with operational efficiency and downtime of heavy-duty off-road vehicles.
Purpose designed Magnom filtration units are now used to remove the highly damaging metal/ ferrous contaminants circulating in critical Caterpillar systems.
Working in conjunction with traditional barrier filter techniques, they provide unmatched levels of filtration on these vehicles. These filters are now commercially available to Caterpillar dealers across North America.
