Des-Case offers a full line of adaptable contamination control products.

Make us your definitive solution.

Count on the performance of your industrial equipment.

With increases in the cost of oil, greater desire to minimize usage and waste, and a compelling business case for prolonging equipment life, the economic and environmental reason for controlling contamination of lubricants – from the time oil enters a facility until it leaves – is stronger than ever.Maintaining clean oil is one of the best investments a company can make to keep equipment up and running, yet contamination often remains an overlooked factor behind premature machinery failure and diminished lubricant life.

Reduced downtime, less oil usage, and lower repair and recycling costs all add up to significant savings when solid reliability practices are in place.

Two Major Sources of Lubricant Contamination

DirtIf the atmosphere is contaminated, oil will become dirtier and lubricant quality becomes compromised. Particulate contamination, once inside an operating system, will accelerate the generation of new contaminants. These contaminants damage critical components and act as a catalyst for oxidation, further degrading the condition of lubricants.

WaterIf the atmosphere is particularly humid or has frequent temperature fluctuations, the oil is probably moisture-laden and lubricant quality is compromised. Often times, plant wash down activities are responsible for inducing conditions that lead to moisture ingression and corrosion.

Contamination Control is Important

Des-Case products & services are the solution.

Des-Case products and services are designed to help companies achieve a new level of performance in maintenance and reliability. Combining unique services, a wide array of products, and solid support, Des-Case can help increase uptime, reduce costs, and gain greater efficiencies for your equipment.

DetectionMost people recognize that precision is an important part of a reliabilitydriven maintenance program, but often struggle with how and where to startimplementing changes. Des-Case’s Lubrication TransformationSM Servicesare designed to help companies develop and deploy an executable plan tohelp them get to the next level. The Lubrication TransformationSM process can help you quickly identify the steps you need to take, help your team learn practical machinery lubrication, and perform cost-benefit analysis to assist you in your implementation.

PreventionGetting clean, dry oil into machines (and keeping it that way) is one of themost fundamental elements of precision lubrication. Des-Case’s lines ofdesiccant breathers, lubricant storage systems and oil transfer and filtrationsystems help plants meet or exceed the stringent contamination controltargets necessary to achieve improved machine reliability and productionuptime.

RemovalFiltration devices should be used to remove particles and water, furtherextending and preserving the working life of the oil. They are not just a tool foremergency remedial measures when dealing with contaminated lubricants andhydraulic fluids, but are an integral component of proactive maintenance. Des-Case provides a wide array of customizable, quality filtration units, from small,portable devices to full-featured storage and vacuum dehydration systems.

The Bottom LineNow, implementing lubrication best practices – including maintaining clean, dry lubricants—and gaining theprofitability that goes with it, is easier than ever. Des-Case’s technical team can help you evaluate where you are, giveyou guidance on where to go, and provide the tools to get you there.

Breathers: thefirstlineofdefenseagainstcontamination

Breathers: Overview

Installation of Des-Case® breathers at critical ingression points is a cost-effective means to prevent contaminants from entering the fluid reservoirs as differential pressures occur.

Reverse flow through the breather allows for regeneration of the desiccant and prevents oil vapors from entering the work environment.

Desiccant breathers are a vital step in contamination control.Studieshaveshown50to70percentoflubricantcontaminationcancomefromoutsidetheequipment.Asmostmachinesaredesignedto“breathe”,protectingthesourceofair-flowfrommoistureandparticulatecontamination is extremely
