The Need For A Study
For over 25 years, Des-Case has provided a variety of comprehensive water and particulate contamination solutions to the worlds’ leading companies. Des-Case’s contamination control products help companies lower the hazardous particulate that can negatively affect machinery life and eventually cause production downtime and cost money.
When CEMEX-Mexico wanted to proactively pursue contamination control by lowering particle count within the oil inside their hydraulic systems, they turned to Des-Case’s expertise and innovative products.
Des-Case conducted a nine month comprehensive case study on a series of mobile hydraulic systems to determine the efficiency of Des-Case products when compared to competitive solutions.
Six mobile hydraulic systems, classified as the test group, were modified by exchanging the existing filler/breather cap for a Des-Case Hydraulic Adapter Kit and an Extreme Duty Breather (DC-XD-6). Within these six mobile hydraulic systems the oil was changed, and the reservoir thoroughly filtered with offline filtration equipment to ensure purification prior to testing.
In addition to the six mobile hydraulic systems; eight other mobile hydraulic systems, six with traditional breathers classified as the control group and two with sealed tanks, were thoroughly filtered to provide equal comparison. Through out the nine months, the oils were regularly monitored and particle contamination was measured within these systems .
| Micron Size | Test Group | Control Group | % Difference |
| Extreme Duty Breather | Filler Breather Gap | ||
| 4μm | 16,600 particles/mL | 33,300 particles/mL | 100% |
| 6μm | 490 particles/mL | 3,700particles/mL | 655% |
| 14μm | 22 particles/mL | 41particles/mL | 87% |
The innovatively designed Extreme Duty Breather, allowed CEMEX-Mexico to achieve their overall goal; lowering particle contaminates within their equipment systems by utilizing a product that could withstand their individual application and successfully achieve their contamination control needs. The Des-Case team met the challenge head-on and provided a product that fully integrated all aspects of the customer’s environment successfully combating alternative products and providing a solution that once again fortifies why Des-Case is the industry leader when it comes to contamination control products and services.
