Filtration for Injection Molding

What happens to the Hydraulic Oil in the Injection Molding Process?
Hydraulic fluid is used to transmit power, cool, seal and lubricate in the molding process. As it is used and reused it begins to absorb contaminates such as metal, sand, pipe sealant, flushing solution and even moisture. As these contaminates build up and pass through the molding process problems will start to occur. Valves will start to stick, orifices and ports will get blocked, seals will start to leak, and components will fail. All of this will result in costly downtime and productivity loss.

If you are experiencing any of the following problems, you will want to consider a filtration system.
    • Sticking valves
    • Blocked orifices and ports
    • Leaking seals
    • Moisture in your hydraulic oil
    • Oxidation
    • Lower viscosity
    • Diminished additive performance
    • "New" oil contamination
    • Abrasion
    • Fatigue
    • Cavitation

Solution: COMO Filtration Systems
Particles and moisture contamination does not mean that the hydraulic oil must be disposed of and replaced. Through multi-pass filtration, the particulate and moisture can be removed from the hydraulic oil and thus the life of the oil can be increased This can be accomplished by using a COMO portable filtration system to go from reservoir to reservoir, a stationary system to sit at each reservoir or a safety valve filter housing attached to the injection molding machine.
