How Kleentek Electrostatic Oil Cleaners Work

Kleentek utilizes a kidney-loop process that draws oil from a main reservoir and circulates it at very low velocity. The result: continual removal of contaminants from hydraulic fluid and lubricating oils.

Using the principles of electrostatics to collect fluid contaminants, Kleentek's unique design utilizes gradient force, allowing it to take advantage of the natural charge that each contaminant contains. Contaminants with a positive charge are drawn toward a negative electrode within the system, while those with an inherent negative charge are drawn toward a grounded plate.

As the fluid flows freely through the system, Kleentek removes contaminants, submicronic particles, dust, dirt and products of oil oxidation, including tars and varnishes. These contaminants are trapped in the collector for easy disposal.

Kleentek's collector is housed within a stainless steel chamber. Featuring high-capacity contaminant collection, all pleated collectors can be charged easily and, depending on the application, can provide continual operations from 2,000 to 10,000 hours of use.
