Efficient Magnetic filters now offer a huge advantage in increasing the performance of Transmissions… by greatly improving Filtration units and Filter systems / fluid conditioning, and play the major part in improving/reducing system running & maintenance cost and importantly increasing availability, by effectively and efficiently removing Ferrous contamination, Iron oxide, from critical systems, down to sub micron levels, e.g.

Protecting industrial transmissions
Magnom’s Inline Process Core design was chosen to remove contaminants from large transmissions driving the hot rolling mills at Bridgenorth Aluminium in the UK.
Installation followed oil analysis that identified significant ferrous contamination and other wear elements within lubrication circuits of transmissions driving hot rolling mills, and a visual survey had indicated that there was already significant and progressive wear presenting a real risk of catastrophic failure.
Extending service life of heavy duty crushers
Reduced downtime and consumption of barrier filter elements, repaid an investment in Magnom technology in less than a month for European Metal Recyclers in Manchester, UK.
A Magnom In-Line Process Core was fitted to protect the pump on a hydraulically operated scrap metal crusher. Because it could be fitted in any position – in this case vertical – the core is easy to access for cleaning, and installation was straightforward without any major alteration to the system. An order for Magnom units to protect other pumps in the plant was quickly placed.
Cleaning heavy duty transmissions
Rugeley’s coal fired power station produces approximately 1,000 megawatts of electricity for the UK grid. It had been experiencing up to 6 failures per annum of the gearboxes on their coal crushing mills before fitting Magnom filters on all 15 coal crushers’ gearboxes.
The highly -viscous lube oil used in the gearboxes precluded the use of barrier filtration, so engineers had been relying on strainers and bar magnets until they discovered Magnom technology and were able virtually to eliminate failures.
Protecting transmissions
Allison commercial transmissions are relied on as real workhorses, and often used in hostile environments and without breaks. In this case, Site & Pipe in the US were using a heavy duty excavator; and as a result of repeated failures, they were aware of the need to protect the gearbox from even the smallest wear metals that enter into valve bodies and can cause poor performance and failure.
Their choice of a Magnom Midi has resulted in continued trouble free operation.
Protecting transmissions
United Water was investing in new SEW-Eurodrive helical gear motors and by reputation, specified Magnom protection from day 1.
In-Line Magnom Midi units were chosen, they provide protection for all bearings, gears, seals, and pumps. Equipment life is extended, breakdowns avoided and productivity optimised. A key factor in choosing Magnom was how easy its filters are to check and clean.
Protecting transmissions
Having spent $8,000 on the rebuild of a 740 HT Allison transmission, American Concrete engineers decided to protect their investment with Magnom filtration, and so avoid rebuild costs and the lost revenue that would result from future breakdowns.
Taking the advice of an Allison rebuild specialist with 35 years experience, they chose a standard Magnom Midi filter, which delivered the protection for their investment from the outset.
