Effective depth filtration of the oil in thrusters can dramatically increase equipment reliability and life-time of the equipment. Since thrusters are key to manoeuvring a vessel in narrow or difficult waters, reliable thrusters are a direct source of savings for many vessels.
Thruster contamination is caused primarily by seawater entering the thruster gear system. If these systems are not effectively maintained, then, the water will cause corrosion and wear, the oil will deteriorate and ineffective lubrication of components will result.
CJC™ Filter Separators are the effective way to maintain oil in thrusters. They remove water, particles and oil degradation products, such as oxidation - all in one process.
