This Is What's Killing Your Machine's Performance

VRT UltraClean Is Your Solution

Remove sludge and varnish from hydraulic systems

Hydraulic oil in a system faces various challenges throughout its life cycle, including exposure to heat, pressure, particles, water, and wear metal contaminants. These factors gradually lead to the oxidation of the oil, resulting in the formation of insoluble varnish formation & viscous sludge. These contaminants place excessive stress on hydraulic components, especially pumps, sensitive servo or proportional valves causing the spools to stick. Typically, removing varnish and sludge from hydraulic systems is a difficult task that necessitates machine downtime and maintenance, making it an expensive and time-consuming process and also limits areas where these contaminants can be removed from.

OMS LubriTek offers a unique and innovative solution to this common problem with our system additive, VRT UltraClean. This product is specifically designed to remove sludge and varnish formations within hydraulic systems without incurring the high costs and downtime associated with traditional cleaning methods. VRT UltraClean is introduced into the existing oil, where its special formulation effectively disperses the sludge and varnish throughout the system. This allows the contaminants to be removed without halting operations, ensuring a seamless and efficient cleaning process.

After the cleaning phase with VRT UltraClean, the hydraulic system undergoes a drain, flush, and is refilled with choice of base oil grade from our UltraLife Premium Hydraulic Oil range. This process restores the system to the condition it was in when it left the factory, significantly enhancing the machine’s functionality and performance. The use of UltraLife Premium Hydraulic Oils ensures that the system benefits from improved longevity of oil life and hydraulic system components, energy efficiency performance and resistance of oxidsation resisting degradation and formation of sludge & varnish.

An additional advantage of VRT UltraClean is that it is solvent-free and has undergone extensive compatibility testing with all types of elastomers. This ensures that it can be safely used in a variety of hydraulic systems without causing damage to seals and other components.

Key Benefits of VRT UltraClean

Effective Removal of Varnish and Sludge: VRT UltraClean efficiently breaks down and removes sludge and varnish deposits, maintaining the cleanliness of the hydraulic system.
Eliminates Sticking Valves: By preventing varnish formation, the additive ensures that sensitive valves operate smoothly without sticking.
Reduces Filter Changes: The dispersal and removal of contaminants lead to cleaner oil, which reduces the frequency of filter changes, saving time and maintenance costs.
Solvent-Free Formulation: Being solvent-free, VRT UltraClean is safe for all elastomer types, preventing potential damage and extending the lifespan of seals.
Extends Component Life: Regular use of VRT UltraClean contributes to the extended life of hydraulic components, enhancing the overall durability and reliability of the system.

VRT UltraClean offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for maintaining hydraulic systems, ensuring they operate at peak performance with minimal downtime and reduced maintenance costs.
