SKF RecondOil

The RecondOil Box is the latest addition to the growing family of oil regeneration technologies from SKF. We believe it will change the way that industry perceives oil, transforming it from a costly carbon footprint into a sustainable asset that also improves mechanical performance.

Typical behaviour for the RecondOil Box appears to be that it first removes the degradation products in oil, so that in the early stages we see a sharp drop in varnish, oxidation and gravimetric measurements. For companies facing an urgent crisis in production, when oil degradation threatens to cripple a crucial application, this is a lifeline. When the short-term crisis is over, then the focus switches to what ultra-clean oil means for the company in the longer term. Filters are typically changed after the first three months, and with a clean filter we can then start fine-tuning the oil with the removal of nanosized contaminants using RecondOil's Double Separation Technology. With hydraulics in particular the improvements can be dramatic; with other applications, the same results can take longer to achieve.

Eliminating the need for new oil in industrial processes delivers direct cost savings connected with purchase, transport and disposal. In addition, machines and processes that run on oil that is constantly filtered down to the level of the tiniest nanoparticles also see improved performance with respect to maintenance, operational availability, reliability, machine longevity, energy efficiency and overall productivity. Our guiding vision is ambitious, but we believe entirely realistic: to achieve circular use of oil.
