System cleans up hydraulic fluids

Fourth Quarter 2007 Hydraulic systems & components

The SVD vacuum dehydrator from Schroeder Industries simultaneously removes water, gases and solid contaminants from hydraulic fluids. It is designed for high volume applications in a variety of industries including power generation, pulp and paper, steel and plastics.

The vacuum dehydrator features standard saturation and temperature sensors and comes equipped with a fully automated Siemens touch screen, which can also be operated manually. The touch screen contains operating, maintenance, and troubleshooting manuals for easy accessibility.

The SVD's frame is 1220 m long allowing it to fit easily into the bed of a full-sized pickup truck. The product is offered with and without heaters and comes equipped with a common control panel, enabling heaters to be easily retrofitted into existing units at a minimal cost.
