How to extend the service life of oil mist separator?
LVGE specializes in the field of vacuum pump filters with over ten years. We found that oil-sealed vacuum pump is favored by many vacuum pump users for its small size and high pumping speed. However, oil mist separator, an important accessory for oil-sealed vacuum pump, its short service life always troubles users.
Here, LVGE gives some tips for extending the service life of oil mist separator.
Firstly, replacing the vacuum pump oil when you replace the filter element of the oil mist separator. And it is worthy to note that you should clean the vacuum pump if the oil gets dirty.
Secondly, having a detailed understanding of filter elements, such as in terms of materials and production process. By this way, you will learn that the production of filter elements certainly requires a certain cost. And cheap filter elements that are lower than the market price will inevitably come at the cost of quality. So it's not surprising that their service life is short. As for the high-quality filter elements, their prices will naturally be higher but reasonable because of their better performance and longer service life. The use of high-quality filter elements not only ensures good filtration efficiency, but also eliminates the need for frequent replacement.
Besides, there are two types of oil mist separator: single stage filtration and dual stage filtration. The filtration efficiency and service life of the later are far superior to that of the former. But the price will also be higher.
Thirdly, optimizing the filtration solution based on working conditions. For example, if there is moisture, viscous substances or a large amount of dust, installing a inlet filter will be a good choice to reduce the burden on the oil mist separator and protect vacuum pumps.
All in all, “you get what you pay for”. Greed for cheap often means a greater cost. What’s the most important is to choose the right solution for yourselves. But the right one does not mean the most expensive one. If any needs, please feel free to contact us.
