DECEMBER 2024 – KLEENOIL And last but not least, we get to shout about Yaz, the KLEENOIL company dog... and KLEENOIL themselves of course! Established in 1976, KLEENOIL was originally adopted from a Japanese innovation and marketed as a by-pass filter, based on the need for an oil change every 6000 miles. This meant that for most transport companies, there would always be monthly downtime and expense; something that in any industry can amount to a big problem over time. However, installation of KLEENOIL meant that there was no need for a change, and companies would be able to maintain the oil as clean as new. The only change necessary was a simple monthly 5 minute cartridge as opposed to the timely and messy full oil and filter schedule. Quite the difference right off the bat! By maintaining ‘as new’ levels of lubrication cleanliness; oil can be kept for far greater lengths of time; and alongside condition monitoring; users can minimise oil replacement to negligible top ups. The Kleenoil Bypass Filter System is a By-Pass Oil Filtration System that passes only a small portion of the total oil flow slowly through the highest available density of natural cellulose depth filtration cartridge. At a slow speed, it is possible to remove particles down to 1 micron (3 absolute) and remove 99.5% of all water. Keeping oil clean in use will: • Eliminate water and particle contamination • Pro-long oil life, extend standard filter life • Extend engine oil life up to 5 times and hydraulic oil up to 10 times • Reduce engine/machine wear and component wear • Dramatically reduce downtime AND minimise waste disposal CLOSING REMARKS And there you have it folks; a look at the incredible people and companies keeping this industry alight with innovation and quality. Doing what they can for sustainability and society, and a helping develop a circular economy. You might have a few tidbits of information you can share with your colleagues, to go along with that empty mug and plate of crumbs. Thanks for reading and we’ll be back with another fascinating company to talk to next time.
