Filtration+Separation January/February 2015

Enhanced Fluid Purifier system boosts savings Power management company Eaton has upgraded its IFPM 72 Fluid Purifier System. The improved, fully automated, mobile purifier removes damaging foreign substances – water, particulate contamination and dissolved gasses – from hydraulic and lubrication systems to increase capacity and enhance efficiency in demanding applications. As a result, fluid life is extended, cutting operating costs and improving safety and performance. “Continuous improvement is core to our business – and our customers’ business as well,” said Mary Jo Surges, vice president and general manager of Eaton’s Filtration Division. “The enhancements will help our customers meet increasingly challenging needs in ever-changing conditions more safely, efficiently and with better return on investment. Ultimately it creates a mutually beneficial situation for everyone.” Features of the IFPM 72 include a new user-friendly touch display, automatic shutdown and continuous measurement of fluid

The upgraded IFPM 72 Fluid Purifier System is based on vacuum evaporation.

temperature, water saturation and filter flow-through rates. The operating principle is based on vacuum evaporation, drawing contaminated fluid in and heating it to increase filtration speed. The cleaned fluid is then drawn out, passed through a highly efficient particulate removal filter and sent back to the system, where a water sensor allows for permanent control of the fluid saturation. Applications include hydraulic and lubrication oils and biodegradable fluids. www.eaton.com/filtration

Air cleaner redesign reduces health risks Dust extraction specialist Dustcontrol UK has launched a redesigned version of its ambient air cleaners, updating the specifications to improve efficiency and versatility.

Changing the filter is now much easier with less risk of releasing hazardous dust. The new design also allows a hose or duct to be attached to the inlet, making it more versatile.

The Dustcontrol mobile extractor range has been modified to improve its extraction capabilities, allowing greater flexibility with the inclusion of a newly designed filter designed to cut the risk of dust being released during the course of changing the filter, whilst also allowing for an additional hose attachment.

“Versatility is another big bonus when working in hard to access areas. The redesign means it is possible to extract dust from places where the machine itself can’t go,” added Miller. www.dustcontroluk.co.uk

“By innovating and updating we can lessen the potential impact of dust, which will improve the safety of the workforce in industries where dust poses a threat to workers’ health,” said Dustcontrol UK general manager James Miller. The DC Air Cube 1200 and the DC Air Cube 2000 are the models that have been redesigned. The front filter now involves a 315mm inlet that sits alone, with a cartridge filter inside while the remaining sides are now made of stainless steel.
