Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd.
Application: Hose Cleaning Machine
​
FLuid Type: 252 L of Cleaning FLuid, 10 cSt @ Operating Temperature
​
Purpose: As Yokohama Rubber is expanding their cleaning lines, they needed to increase the capacity of their existing models. The currently used fluid has a NAS grade “over 12”, but they require a NAS grade 4.
​
Result Achieved with Triple R: NAS 4
​
Yokohama Rubber applies a bubbling cleaning system - a mixture of cleaning fluid and air is flushed into the hose to clean it. As a result, the dirty tank is full of air bubbles.
​
It is hard to filter oil when it is full of air bubbles as the air bubbles create passages through the filter media, allowing for particles to bypass the filter systems.
​
As such, Triple R resolved the problem by installing a QUICKTRON air bubble remover on the CS-SU500-12PF20-4RQ bypass oil cleaning system to ensure achievable consistent filtration results and guaranteeed NAS 4 cleanliness level.
​
As the oil from the hose cleaning machine is pumped into a “dirty tank”. The oil from the "dirty tank" is then pumped through the CS-SU500-12PF20-4RQ, before entering the filter housings, the air passes the Quicktron air bubble removers, therefore eliminating excessive air contamination. From the CS-SU500-12PF20-4RQ the oil flows back into a “clean tank”. From the clean tank, the oil is subsequently pumped back to the hose cleaning machine.


Setup:
The CS-SU500-12PF20-4RQ consists of:
- 2 x 12PF20 housings for 1st stage pre-filtration
- 4 x SU500 housings for micro-filtration
- 2 x Quicktron air bubble removers
