System Flushing is a bit of tricky business. In oil circulating systems, dirt, varnish, lacquer and sludge cleaned from the systems will become partially soluble in a flushing lubricant and can be carried to filters and oil pump intake screens. These should be closely monitored to assure continued oil flow. Deposits are also likely to settle to the lowest point of the oil reservoir. Large capacity, bypass or inline filtration is recommended during cleanup for many dirty systems since the standard filters lack capacity and can quickly plug. The Big Question is: When do we need to flush and when do we not need to flush an oil system? This is the question that many maintenance managers, planners and lubricant specialists have trouble deciding upon. Here are the main reasons to do an oil system flush: Does the oil analysis show signs of contamination due to water? Does the oil analysis show signs of metal wear in it? Has the Total Acid Number (TAN) incre...

Top 12  Performance Advantages of Using Royal Purple with Synerlec Additive Technology Thomas Cipriani – Product Specialist at Robco Higher Film Strength > allowing it to reduce wear by carrying loads 5 times greater than other premium synthetic and mineral oils. All equipment runs on a very thin film of oil ...the tenacity and toughness of the Synerlec film greatly reduces wear and extends equipment life. High Temperature Stability > due to it’s Synerlec additive technology and it’s PAO base oil it enhances the oil’s capability to withstand higher temperatures for longer periods. Low Friction Coefficient > due to it having a tenacious, tough, synthetic film that allows surfaces to “perfectly mate” through controlled polishing of the micro-asperities. Smoother surfaces reduce friction, vibration and lower “unit pressures” (psi) to extend equipment life. Superior Water Separation > allowing the oil to separate rapidly from water to remain dry. Dry oil gr...
