Ensuring Oil Purity and Safety

Why invest in oil filtration?

Contaminated oil is one of the leading causes of premature equipment wear and system failure. Whether it’s dirt, water, or degraded oil particles, contamination affects performance and shortens the life of both your lubricants and machinery. High-quality filtration isn't just an option—it’s a necessity.

OilSafe’s filtration units offer a comprehensive solution that goes beyond basic filtration. They’re designed to maintain oil purity from storage to application while eliminating spills and cross-contamination risks. The result? Longer equipment life, reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs.

What makes OilSafe filtration units different?

Not all filtration systems are created equal. OilSafe stands out with its performance, safety, and error-proofing features—built to meet the demanding needs of modern industry.

Superior filtration performance

1200 RPM electric motor:
Unlike the common 1800 RPM motors that can shear oil and generate static charges, OilSafe uses a slower, smoother 1200 RPM motor. This protects the oil’s integrity and reduces breakdown.
Beta 2000 filters (99.95% efficient):
These medium-pressure filters offer significantly better particulate removal compared to low-pressure alternatives that may collapse or allow bypassing.
Double-sealed filter elements:
Prevents oil from bypassing the filter media entirely—100% of oil is cleaned before it leaves the unit.

Unmatched safety features

Three layers of spill containment:
Including a full front panel, secondary basin and a removable vessel for filter changes—minimising spills and protecting operators.
24VDC controls and overload protection:
Built-in electrical safety safeguards.
Colour-coded, zero-leak flat face quick connects:
These error-proof fittings only connect to their matching colour, completely eliminating the risk of cross-contamination.

How do I choose the right filtration unit for my plant?

That depends on your specific requirements and budget. OilSafe offers two performance levels to help you find the right fit:

Performance

OilSafe's Filtration Units are designed for peak performance. With a 1200 RPM electric motor/pump, they reduce oil shearing and electrostatic charges compared to 1800 RPM motor/pumps. Our filters are Beta 2000 (99.95% efficient) and built for medium pressure, ensuring better particulate removal.

Safety

Safety is our top priority. OilSafe Filtration Units lead the industry with three layers of spill containment, electrical overload protection, and zero-leak quick connects. Our special quick connects only mate with corresponding colours, eliminating cross-contamination once and for all.

Key Features

High Capacity Spill Containment: Choose from either a removable spill basin or our advanced 3-layer spill containment system. This ensures that even in the event of spills, your workplace remains clean and safe.
Zero-Leak Colourized & Pinned Flat Face Quick Connects: Our quick connects are designed to prevent leaks and are colour-coded for easy, foolproof matching, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination.
Non-bypassing Filters: Equipped with Beta 2000 efficient filter elements, our non-bypassing filters ensure that 100% of your oil passes through the filter media, maintaining the highest quality of your lubricants.
Medium Pressure Filters: Our filters exceed industry-recommended safety factors, ensuring your equipment operates with optimal safety and efficiency.
Sample Ports: Sample ports come as a standard or optional feature, depending on the unit selected, enabling you to easily monitor the condition of your lubricants.
High-Performance Electric Motor: All our units come with a 1200 RPM electric motor with 1Hp power, rated ISO 680, preventing the shearing of oils that 1800 RPM motors can cause.
Fully Equipped: Our units include everything you need - pump, relief valve, filters, hoses - all properly rated for system pressures, ensuring a seamless lubrication process.
Flexible Architecture: We offer flexible options to fit different budgets without compromising the integrity of your lubrication process.

Troubleshooting

FAQ - Filter Units

Filtration Unit is not pumping

1. Check power supply (electricity or air supply), breakers and fuses.

2. Check Electric motor for correct rotation (CW when viewing fan on back of motor).

3. Ensure hoses are properly connected, there are no kinks or restrictions in the hoses.

4. If using a hose wand or suction tube, ensure it’s not stuck on the bottom of drum, and is allowing oil to enter the hose wand.

5. Check the oil filters and ensure the indicators are not in the red. Oil flow will slow when oil filters are full, and the visual indicators will be red.

There are oil leaks

1. Immediately shut off unit and disconnect all power sources (electric or air).

2. Locate leak and repair it, before it causes slips, trips, falls or workplace hazards.

3. Ensure the leak is resolved properly and will not reoccur.

Bulk System Filters

There are 2 filters in series with one another. Available in 4, 7, 25 micron and a water removal element. Both filter heads have differential visual indicators in addition to electrical indications, that tell you when it's time to change the filters. ß2000 Micro Glass anti-static filters are a premium filter, that provides maximum dirt-holding capacity and superior particle capture over paper filters
