Rust Preventive Oil Filtration Services In India

Rust preventive oils are not only a benefit due to corrosion protection, but also bring real value-added benefits due to keeping the oil clean and contaminant-free. Whether it involves stretching out the life of your oil supply or boosting the integrity of stored components, the correct filtration saves you wastage, rework and safeguards your reputation as a producer of quality products.

A well-known hose manufacturer in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, that specialised in automotive and industrial hoses with metal fittings, had a persistent and expensive quality problem. Tiny metal fines and dust particles were contaminating their Rust Preventive Oil (RPO) dipping baths, which are used to treat metal components (such as ferrules, couplings, and reinforcing wires) after machining and before assembly. After drying, these small contaminants, which are frequently imperceptible to the human eye, would lodge themselves in the RPO layer, causing flash rust and other obvious surface flaws on the metal components. This led to a high percentage of completed hose rejections, which resulted in considerable material waste and rework expenses. It also had a direct effect on the profitability of the finished product and the company's standing with customers. High operating costs resulted from the company's policy of discarding the entire RPO batch as soon as contamination was found.

During a planned production break, Ram Engineering used our on-site mobile filtration unit, utilising our Rapid Shutdown Mastery and specific knowledge of ultra-fine particulate removal for delicate protective fluids. To satisfy the client's strict requirements for RPO purity and get rid of the main reason for their rejection problems, our solution concentrated on a meticulous multi-stage purification process:

1. Initial Fluid Analysis: We measured the amount and size distribution of the minute particle pollution by conducting a thorough study of the contaminated RPO bath.
2. Multi-Stage Precision Filtration: Using a sequence of increasingly fine filter media, our sophisticated filtration system captured even submicron particles without stripping essential RPO additives. Continuous circulation enabled the system to effectively isolate and trap harmful contaminants.
3. Continuous Cleanliness Monitoring: Advanced particle counters were used to monitor the RPO’s cleanliness throughout the purification process, ensuring the fluid consistently reached and maintained optimal purity levels for flawless application.

The Result: By following the strictest guidelines and carrying out the task precisely, Ram Engineering was able to:

• More than 95% of the tainted RPO was recovered and filtered, turning it from trash that might be thrown away into a high-quality, reusable fluid. As a consequence, the client's material purchase and disposal expenses were immediately and significantly reduced.
• The rejection rate of completed hoses was drastically reduced by more than 80% as a result of the complete elimination of flash rust and surface flaws on the metal components.
• Made it possible for the business to repurpose the RPO by their strict internal quality standards and customer requirements, which immediately reduced their cost of production per unit and greatly increased their profitability.
• Improved the final hose products' overall quality and visual appeal, which greatly pleased their customers and improved their position in the market.
• Showed a strong dedication to sustainability by avoiding the needless disposal of priceless RPO, which was in complete accord with the client's and our own "Reuse, Reduce, Recycle" environmental objectives.

This example demonstrates how Ram Engineering can provide sophisticated, on-site rust preventative oil filtering for even the smallest contamination issues, resulting in not just operational efficiency but also immediate cost savings, improved product quality, and increased customer satisfaction.
