HYDRAULIC FLUSHING: A VITAL PART OF HYDRAULIC MAINTENANCE
In the absence of appropriate flushing, debris can build up within a hydraulic system. It is also important to perform a system flush if the equipment is new or has recently been overhauled. Without this, the hydraulics will not perform at their optimum level and could eventually malfunction.
In fact, 90% of premature failures in hydraulic systems are caused by contaminated fluid. The principal contaminants are solid particles and water.
New pipework systems and existing systems which are contaminated can only be cleaned by flushing with clean, hot hydraulic fluid at sufficient flow rates to remove solid contaminants which may be stuck to pipe walls or lurking in other parts of the system. Continuous monitoring is essential to ensure that the process is working correctly. Flushing of large systems requires careful planning to ensure that all parts of the system are flushed.
Hydraulic components in the system (pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, etc.) cannot be cleaned by flushing, and therefore, in an existing system which has become contaminated, these components must be removed from the system to be stripped and inspected. Water is removed from the system by the use of different filtration units.
At Armada Engineering Ltd, we have carried out hydraulic flushes on even the most complex systems, from superyachts to aircraft carriers.
We have access to the most sophisticated flushing rigs so that the work can be done quickly, efficiently and effectively, without risking any damage to your valuable equipment.
We can also arrange the hire of specialist flushing rigs in a range of different sizes.
Armada Engineering Ltd is are proud to work with the British Fluid Power Distributors Association (BFPDA).
