Hytec Fluid Technology (HFT) is the official distributor of Hy-Pro vacuum dehydration units, manufactured in the USA by Hy-Pro Filtration.
These units continuously and efficiently remove contaminants – including the “invisible enemy”, water – from hydraulic oil. This reduces the need for costly maintenance of filter systems and machinery, extending the life of the hydraulic oil and machinery. As the local value-added distributor of Hy-Pro equipment, HFT is authorised and technically skilled in the installation and service of this range of vacuum dehydrators.
The Hy-Pro unit is safe, easy to operate and install. “This technology is so versatile that it can be deployed in any industry sector. HFT has successfully installed static assemblies in the power generation, petrochemical, oil and gas as well as pulp and paper industries, and receives positive feedback on a regular basis,” comments Cameron Milner, Technical Division, HFT.
The Hy-Pro dehydrator removes free, emulsified and dissolved water, as well as gases, from hydraulic oil. It achieves this by heating the oil and passing it though a vacuum chamber, where the dissolved gases and water are boiled off. The oil is then passed through a particulate filter which automatically removes all particulate matter from the oil. This extends component and bearing life, as well as the use life of the oil.
The dehydrator system includes a pre-programmed, relay-enabled control panel. This provides the unit operator with full access to the necessary functionality of the machine, inclusive of the monitoring telemetry for relative humidity (RH) percentage, ISO cleanliness, temperature and pressures.
HFT is a leader in vacuum dehydration technology, which it has supplied direct to customers for 12 years. During installation, HFT ensures the correct installation/fitment of the discharge line, suction line, and the water drain line. In addition, it carries out operator training, as well as servicing and maintenance of the systems as per customer service level agreements.
“We also have our own rental fleet of machines, available for short- or long-term hire,” explains Milner.
The Hy-Pro unit carries a factory safe warranty of 12 months and is backed up with support and service agreements from HFT, which holds stock of all serviceable parts and replacement components.
