Automotive Oil Recovery Treatment

The automotive industry, by its nature, consumes enormous quantities of lubricants, from engine oils and transmission oils poured into powertrain systems to hydraulics oils used on stamping presses and injection molding machines. In almost every powertrain or assembly plant, dozens of tons of waste lubricants are disposed of every year, representing a recurrent operating cost and a real threat to the environment.

However, most of these used lubricants could be recovered and used again. From function testers, stamping presses, and hydraulic robots, the correct treatment of recovered oil is a source of immediate cost savings as well as being suitable for the environment.

Steps to remove contamination from oil

By applying filtration and separation technologies to remove contamination and improving the quality, used oils can be recovered:

Pre-Filtration: Removing large solid particles from the oil can be achieved with bag filters.

Filtration: Using SUPRAdisc™ will remove solid particles, gels, and colloids from the oil.

Separation: Athalon™AN or AS filter grades will remove free and dissolved water from the oil efficiently.

Pall Filtration and Separation technology applied on industrial oil recycling treatment enables car  makers and suppliers to:

• Reduce the consumption of fresh oils
• Reduce running costs
• Improve the overall carbon footprint
