Effective depth filtration of thrusters' oil can dramatically increase equipment reliability and life-time. Thrusters are the key to manoeuvring a vessel in narrow or difficult waters without a tug boat. Therefore, reliable thrusters are a direct source of savings for many vessels.
Thruster contamination is caused primarily by seawater that enters gear system oil through leaking shaft seals. If not removed, the seawater will damage the oil, resulting in reduced lubrication, corrosion and wear of components.
CJC™ Filter Separators are the effective way to maintain oil in thrusters. They remove seawater, particles and oil degradation products, such as oxidation - all in one process.
