Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Carts

 

 


Description: The Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Carts are free-standing off-line fluid cleaning rigs.

The Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Cart comes available in three iterations:

  • 110V
  • 220V
  • Air Powered (compressor)

The electric version has a robust electric pump to circulate oil from machine reservoirs through 1,2 or 4 Kleenoil Filter Cartridges.

Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Carts are used as a multi-purpose fluid cleaning and transfer machine. It is ideal for cleaning most hydraulic, gear, and transmission fluid reservoirs and, because of its portable design, the unit can be used for fuel tank purging on trucks, construction equipment, and boats as well as for oil and fuel transfer and rotational cleaning of factory and industrial equipment. The specially designed Kleenoil filter achieves an ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code of 14/9: well below the original standards of the equipment’s original manufacturers and distributors. By filtering particles down to one micron, the Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Carts minimizes the amount of dirt and debris within a machine and, as a result, will dramatically cut down on repair and maintenance costs.

Fluid cleanliness, particularly in hydraulic systems, is extremely important. It is widely recognized that silt particles (< 5 micron in size) are a primary cause of permature machine failure through abrasive wear of component surfaces. In addition water is a major cause of system damage through accelerated oxidation, corrosion and fluid breakdown. The Kleenoil Filter Cartridge absorbs all free and emulsified water and gradually removes contaminant particles down to less than ISO 14/9 or NAS 1638 class 6 equivalent. It therefore extends oil life through the removal of the oxidation catalysts and at the same time extends component life. The system can also be clean and transfer unused oil (ISO 16/11) prior to use.

The Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Carts Data Sheet

Level of filtration applying to all units - BS 5540/4, ISO 14/9 and equivalent NAS 1638 class 6. Water removal to <0.05% up to capacity of cartridges which is 0.26 gallons (1.2 liters) each.

Flow Rate: It is impossible to state an exact flow rate because it is dependent upon many factors such as viscosity, temperature, and a degree of contamination of fluid, and also pump pressure and degree of contamination of cartridges. As an approximate guide, the flow of 32 sec. Hydraulic oil at room temperature through new Kleenoil Filter Cartridges will be:

2CART-HIGHSPEED Using AW-32(SAE 10W) cleans 800-1000 litres (200-275 gallons) per hour
Using Diesel Fuel cleans 1100-1400 litres (275-350 gallons) per hour
4CART-HIGHSPEED Using AW-32(SAE 10W) cleans 1200-1500 litres (300-400 gallons) per hour
Using Diesel Fuel cleans 1300-1800litres (400-600 gallons) per hour
2CART-HIGHSPEED-MAG

Using AW-32(SAE 10W) cleans 800-1000 litres (200-275 gallons) per hour
Using Diesel Fuel cleans 1100-1400 litres (275-350 gallons) per hour
4CART-HIGHSPEED-MAG Using AW-32(SAE 10W) cleans 1200-1500 litres (300-400 gallons) per hour
Using Diesel Fuel cleans 1300-1800litres (400-600 gallons) per hour

If faster flows are required they can be achieved by specifying alternative pumps.

Operation: The system is operated by an isolator switch with an 'on/off' lever. A starter and red/green indicator lights can be fitted if required. The unit’s operation is simple. The fluid enters the filter system via the fluid input. There are two outlets: one for filtered fluid and another for non-filtered fluid which is
used when only transferring fluid from one machine to another. Pressure can be monitored by the pressure gauge and controlled by the nearby pressure control valve. Always ensure that the pressure does not exceed 75 lbs PSI. Also, never run the machine without hoses connected to the fluid inlet and
at least one of two outlets.

Changing the Kleenoil Filter Cartridges: The Kleenoil Filter Cartridge should be changed if there is a decrease in flow from the filtered outlet or if the reading on the pressure gauge increases without any valve adjustment. As a rule of thumb, Kleenoil suggests changing the cartridge after 250 hours of operation. To change the Kleenoil Filter Cartridge, undo the four hand nuts evenly. Next, remove the lid and pick out the old “O”-ring gasket. Take the new filter cartridge out of the bag and use the bag to cover your hand. With your hand covered, insert a finger in the center brass ring of the old filter and lift the cartridge out. Enclose the old filter within the plastic bag and dispose of it according to local regulations. Then, insert the new filter with the brass ring up into the housing. Install the new “O”-ring into the lid assembly and place it over the canister. Replace and tighten the hand nuts evenly. Do not use force or any type of wrench on those nuts. The machine is now ready to go with the new Kleenoil Filter Cartridge.

Transfer Pump Facility: The system can be used as a transfer pump by simply removing the 'quick release' coupling from the filter outlet, and fitting it to the pump outlet, thereby bypassing the filter.

Diverter Valve: The newer Mark II model of the Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Cart now comes equipped with a valve which alternates flow through the filtered and non-filtered outputs. When the yellow lever on the valve is in the horizontal position, the flow will exit via the filtered output. When this lever is in the vertical position, the flow will exit directly via the non-filtered output, reducing cartridge wear. Make sure that lever is firmly set in either one of these positions before use.

Pressure Control Valve: These machines are now fitted with a pressure control valve. This valve is preset at the factory and the settings must not be altered. Any tampering with the valve setting will void the warranty.

Additional Information For Air-Operated Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Cart: Kleenoil now offers a Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Cart operated by an air pump. Operation of the unit remains the same as the conventional model with some minor differences:

  • For the air-operated model, the diverter valve and the unfiltered fluid output are located on the opposite side of the machine.
  • There is no pressure gauge as pressure can now be monitored from the air intake control regulator located in the center of the back panel. Again, always ensure that the pressure does not exceed 75 lbs PSI.
  • The air intake and shut off valve are now located on the left-hand side of the machine where the diverter valve and the unfiltered fluid output used to be located.

Guarantee: All Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Carts carry a twelve month warranty on all parts.

Trouble Shooting: Here are some helpful tips that, if followed, will ensure that the mobile filtration cart works safely and effectively…

Do:

  • Ensure that hoses are connected to both the inlet and one of the outlets.
  • Ensure that the power cable is connected to a suitable supply that is properly grounded.
  • Ensure that the power cord is in good condition and not frayed or kinked.
  • Ensure that the Kleenoil Mobile Filtration Cart is always stable on a flat surface while operating.
  • Remember to change the Kleenoil Filter Cartridge.

Don't:

  • Never run the unit without hoses connected to the inlet and one of the outlets.
  • Never let the pressure exceed 75 lbs per square inch on the pressure gauge.
  • Never let the unit run dry. Always ensure there is fluid in the pump.
  • Never run unit connected to an ungrounded power source.

Edan Farms Testimonial

Edan Farms has been using PowerUp for over 20 years in all our Semi-tractors. We have been a contractor for Fedex Ground running from 20-30 rigs nearly every day. Each truck travels over 200,000 per year.

One of the first things we noticed when we started using PowerUp is that our engines run cooler. Since using PowerUp, we have not had to overhaul an engine in less than 1 million miles and most we haven't overhauled in less than 1.4 million miles. When we do take the engine apart, it is always very clean, and wear is extremely minimal. In 20 years, we have not had a single differential gear failure due to lubrication.

With PowerUp, we extended our oil drains to 30,000 miles and could have probably run further if we had chosen to.

About 10 years ago, because of your presentation on KleenOil Filtration, we started adding these filter units to our engine. With the continuous purification of the oil and complete removal of water, we now have been able to extend oil drains to well over 300,000 miles per rig. We still sample each engine every 30,000 miles and have been very impressed with the condition of the oil even after these extended oil drains. We have never had an issue due to lubrication with any of the engines.

PowerUp and Kleenoil have saved us thousands upon thousands of dollars in oil changes, engine repairs and overhauls. Presumably, though we have never collected the data, we have saved thousands in fuel costs because the engines maintain their efficiency due to very low wear.

I personally maintain our engines and I am a believer in these products because I have seen the results. I would recommend them to anyone. Please feel free to have anyone call if they have any questions.

Subject: Kleenoil Letter of Recommendation

As a leader in Eagle County in wishing to operate as a greener entity, we continually look for ways to operate more efficiently. In early 2008 Kleenoil came to us asking questions about the oil program in our bus fleet. They introduced their oil filtration system to us, which is designed to have an engine use less oil over its life cycle by keeping it clean. We were interested and worked together with Kleenoil to design a test procedure.

The program started with a complete analysis of our oil program. They tested our bulk oil and the used oil in our buses to establish baseline data. They consulted with us every step of the way to create a comprehensive test program.

We completed a seven month test in February 2009, and based on great results, ECO Transit made the decision to purchase additional filter systems for several of our buses. These Kleenoil equipped buses will now use and dispose of, 75% less oil. That not only saves substantial dollars in oil costs but also, our mechanics now spend more time addressing mechanical or DOT rather than changing oil.

This process is very environmentally friendly and saves the County Taxpayers dollars. We would strongly suggest establishing a rapport with Kleenoil USA.

Garry Mercer Trucking Inc. Testimonial

Three years ago, I introduced the Kleenoil Filter system into the Garry Mercer Trucking Fleet. My main purpose in doing so was to extend our oil change intervals, and reduce our oil usage without compromising the engine life.

To do this we started out by conducting a few tests. In our first test, we changed the Kleenoil filter every 30,000 km but left the engine oil in, and the filter on. We found we were able to run the oil up to 140,000 km without any problems. We still now only change the Kleenoil filter cartridge every 30,000 km and leave the engine oil filter on for the life of the oil at 100,000 km. This number was set by myself from the 140,000 km due to my precautions toward the engine and the potential wear.

As we conducted our tests we monitored the samples through Wear Check Oil. Together with Garry Mercer Trucking, they still play a large role in the operation of the Kleenoil System program. With Wear Check we sample the oil every other service at 60,000 km.

With using this system we have found positive results from different areas. We had an engine apart at 1,500,000 km and once we dropped the rod and main bearings we found that the bearings were still good and able to stay in service. The Kleenoil System has been compatible with both Shell Rotella 15W40 and Castrol Hypuron S 15W40 oils, and both have shown better results with the program than previously without. We have also tried to run the extended oil drain without using the Kleenoil System but found they were only able to extend to 60,000 km before samples showed signs of wear.

The Kleenoil System has given our technicians more time to concentrate on other areas of the units because of its success. The program has also saved us a great deal of money on engine oil without compromising the engine life. The system is easy to install and easy to maintain. It is my opinion that the Kleenoil System will not only save your company money and maintenance costs but help to protect the environment as well.

U-Pak Testimonial

To Whom It May Concern:

We were interested but skeptical when Richard Wright of Kleenoil approached us regarding a bypass engine oil system. This system would lengthen our oil and drop intervals on our PM2 Maintenance program from 15,000KM to 60,000KM.

After Richard's demonstration of product data we tested the product on two trucks. In conjunction with the Toromont Oil Analysis program, we were currently using; we monitored the results of the oil quality. We were very impressed with the results.

We have decided to run this program on our entire fleet of 60 disposal and recycling trucks, including city and long haul units. There has been a substantial cost savings not only on the oil and filters but the labour costs have also decreased dramatically due to the time saving for a 10 minute oil filter cartridge change.

Upon installation of the system we do a full oil drop including all the filters. Then we change only the Kleenoil cartridge every 15,000KM. At the 60,000KM milestone we do another full drop.

We have also used the Kleenoil product on the hydraulic systems of a large industrial baler and a garbage compactor that we also have on site.

We have been pleased with the service from Kleenoil and have found them to have a good availability of filters. We will be installing the Kleenoil System on any future equipment purchases and highly recommend the product.
