A NEW GENERATION of RESERVOIR ACCESSORY

ADVANCES OIL MAINTENANCE

The idea behind the OILMISERTM FILLorDRAINTM dates back to the mid 1970's.  I was assigned the job of replacing a leaking cover gasket on a reservoir supplied to a local sawmill.

The fix was straightforward:  transfer approximately 80 gallons of oil into two empty drums; remove the inspection cover; replace the cover gasket; reattach the inspection plate; transfer the oil back into the reservoir; clean up the work area; and the job was done.  With the assistance of sawmill personnel, I stood ready to do my part when the reservoir was drained.

The next few hours were painful to watch.  Under less than "clean room" conditions the filler/breather, was removed.  Then, in a tangle of hoses and confusion, suction and return wands were moved back and forth between reservoir and drum, each time contributing to a cleanup time that all but equaled the job time.  This was a nightmare of inefficiency and waste.

Two years later, this same sawmill, was the first customer for the OILMISERTM FILLorDRAINTM.  With the support of a maintenance superintendent who was sold on the merits of preventive maintenance, eight hydraulic reservoirs, were fitted with the OILMISERTM FILLorDRAINTM.

Removing uncertainty from any maintenance procedure translates directly into measurable productivity gains; more predictable activity times, less resistance, more compliance, and better results.  With the OILMISERTM FILLorDRAINTM, much of the guesswork is removed from the fluid handling equation.

Contamination control ranks high on the list of priorities for the OILMISERTM FILLorDRAINTM. The standard filter element is a 5 micron automotive style air filter, easily accessible for inspection and replacement. In addition, a variety of  top end adapters accommodate most other types of breathers, including desiccant air breathers for water vapor removal.

         In 2000, we added a sampling port to the OILMISERTM FILLorDRAINTM.   While good filling and draining procedures are important for machine reliability, condition based oil changes remains the most cost effective objective.  To this end, oil sampling, and oil analysis continue to deliver the needed confidence level.

         In 2003, we added true, independent  Off-Line Filtration and significantly improved preventive maintenance procedures in the work place.  Kidney Loop filtration is the dialysis machine for lubricated equipment.   Now, the OILMISERTM FILLorDRAINTM covered all the essentials for best practices in oil maintenance; fluid handing, oil sampling, fluid cleanliness and air quality.
