Remove Contaminants
Remove particulate matter, water, and other contaminants from lubricants.
Cleaner Oil.
Better Equipment Performance.
Portable filtration provides a practical way to remove contamination while oil remains in service.
Trico filtration systems help remove particles, moisture, and other contaminants from new and in-service lubricants. Improve fluid cleanliness, support equipment reliability, and help extend lubricant service life.

Portable and dedicated filtration options
Clean the Oil,
Not Just the Machine
Gearboxes, hydraulic reservoirs, circulating oil systems, and other lubricated assets are continuously exposed to particles, moisture, and other contaminants through normal operation, reservoir breathing, maintenance activities, seals, and the surrounding environment.
Changing the oil removes the contaminated lubricant, but it may also mean disposing of oil that still has useful service life. Portable filtration gives maintenance teams another option by circulating existing oil through appropriately selected filtration media and returning cleaner oil to the reservoir.
Contamination alone does not necessarily mean the lubricant has reached the end of its useful life.
A single portable system can potentially move throughout the plant and support multiple compatible applications, helping make filtration part of planned maintenance instead of reserving it only for contamination emergencies.

Documented Filtration Results
In one Trico case study, purchased gear oil was filtered with a high-viscosity handheld system. The results below apply to that documented sample and filtration sequence.
1
Starting Sample
ISO cleanliness code 20/19/15 with a wear particle concentration rating of 7.8, classified as marginal.
2
After 10-Micron Filtration
After two hours of filtration, the oil measured ISO 18/17/14 with a wear particle concentration rating of 7.3, classified as normal.
3
After 3-Micron Filtration
After an additional two hours of filtration, the oil measured ISO 17/16/14 with a wear particle concentration rating of 3.3, classified as normal.
Trico reported only trace quantities of debris in the final sample, with no signs of steel or nonferrous debris observed.
