Injection Molding
The working oil in an injection molding machine will inevitably become contaminated if it is not cared for properly. Users may notice a brown, gummy varnish build up on various moving parts of the machine. This is the result of insoluble contaminants forming in the hydraulic oil-leading to plugged hydraulic filters, injection valve sticking and reduction in flow rate.
Mechanical filters aren't enough
Many injection mold machines use mechanical filtration, but these filters are not effective in keeping the machine in good working condition. That's because a majority of the contaminants are submicron in size, or too small to remove with conventional filters alone. Kleentek electrostatic oil conditioners are able to capture these submicron insoluble particles and remove them from the oil.
Signs of contaminated hydraulic fluid:
- Erratic injection
- Flash or short shots
- Variable pressure
- Sticking valves
- Filter plugging
- Increased filter changes
- Build-up of varnish on oil-wetted surfaces

You can rotate one mobile Kleentek system to service several injection molding machines as long as an individual reservoir doesn't exceed 12 weeks!
