A key growth area for BMG is bulk fuel and lubricant oil filtration. “We have recognised a greater demand from earthmoving, mining, transport and marine industries for the supply of cleaner, non-contaminated diesel and lubricant oils,” says Wayne Holton from BMG’s Fluid Power Division. “Our filtration products and solutions are designed to prevent dirt particulate and water ingress during transport and storage of bulk products, which could lead to premature equipment failure, resulting in costly downtime.”
A recently launched product is the compact OMSA L–shaped 920 litre tank, which allows different grades of oil to be dispensed in a combined modular storage system. This modular tank is sealed to prevent any contamination of lubricant oil. The design consists of an electric motor and a submersible pump, with a dual head filter unit, complete with 6 micron absolute rated spin-on filters. Oil is dispensed through a hose reel, complete with a metered nozzle, for various mining or industrial equipment requirements.
The control operating principle of the L-shaped tank differs from previous designs – pressure sensors allow a continuous variable control with digital capabilities. A single sensor controls the high and low levels of oil in the tank safely and system control measures are controlled by the PLC and displayed on the colour touch screen HMI.
Temperature is controlled via a PT100 sensor emitting an analogue signal and can also be controlled from the HMI. The PLC is equipped with an Ethernet unit to allow external communication with the PLC, as well as remote access. A particle counter monitors the condition of the filtered product.
