New levels of reliability for hydraulic systemsEmmie Mobile Separation System for Hydraulic Oil

Emmie will pay for itself in one year! Nearly allhydraulic system failures onboard ships and in powerplants are due to contaminants in the hydraulic oil.Emmie, Alfa Laval’s mobile cleaning system for hydraulicoil, will increase the reliability of sensitive, vital hydraulicequipment, reduce component wear, and extend thelifetime of the hydraulic oil in the system.

Recognize these problems?

• Frequent, costly failure ofhydraulic systems due tocontaminated oil.

Leaking seals in systems in contactwith seawater (on ships), allow waterto enter the system. Water in thehydraulic system:

> Shortens the oil’s lifetime, causingcorrosion of internal surfaces, andextra wear due to poor lubrication.

> Causes additives to decomposerapidly and oxidation, which affectsthe oil’s viscosity.

The full-flow filter only removesparticles down to 15–25 µm. Finerparticles left by the filter in the hydraulic oil:

> Shorten the lifetimes of rollingbearings while causing extrainternal wear on hydraulic com-ponents, and leaking seals.

> Cause equipment failure due to sticking pilot valves.

• Filter cartridges quickly becomesaturated and must be changed.High costs for cartridge disposaland replacement.

• Hydraulic oil frequently becomescontaminated and must be re-placed, High costs for hydraulicoil disposal and replacement.

Invest in an Emmie MobileSeparation System

Emmie – a small revolution.

Emmie is a mobile separation systemthat can be wheeled easily betweenhydraulic tanks. The system includes:

> A miniature, trolley mounted MIB 303solid bowl separator designed forcleaning hydraulic oils, with a collect-ing tank for oil spill and separatedwater. Weight 55 kg.

> A separate, compact, mobile oil pre-heater, weighing only 34 kg, thatheats the hydraulic oil up to 65°Cmax.

Emmie will provide a drasticincrease in the reliability andavailability of your hydraulicsystems.

> Removes virtually all water from thehydraulic oil.

> Removes more than 99% of particlesin the size range 2 µm – 5 µm.

> Provides efficient back-up for the full-flow filter, drastically cuttingcartridge consumption.

Emmie cuts operating costs relatedto hydraulic systems.

> Impressive reduction in costlyequipment failure.

> The lifetime of the hydraulic oil isextended.

> Used hydraulic oil can be recycled.

> Reduced filter cartridgeconsumption.

> Less contaminated oil and fewer filter cartridges to dispose of.

> Less component wear and spareparts consumption.

Plug-and-play installation, simple to clean.

Emmie can be wheeled from tank totank and hooked up in minutes. Thesystem will then clean the hydraulic oilwithout supervision. When the separ-ator bowl needs to be cleaned, usuallyafter two to three days, cleaning ischild’s play and takes about fiveminutes.
