Fluid conditioning
Clean fluids are fundamental to reliable operation of a system. Many companies know this and place value on cleanly filled oil, fluid conditioning and fluid analysis. But when is a fluid really “clean”? What are the requirements on the cleanliness of a fluid?
Our experts will create a custom strategy for you to reduce your costs. Find out more!
HYDAC fluid conditioning – your system protection for hydraulic and lubrication
Challenge: system availability & component service lifeAchieve greater performance and safety of operation with the right strategy
Solid, fluid, gaseous and even gel-like contamination in hydraulic and lubrication systems leads to shorter fluid and component service lives, system failures and reduced system productivity.
This makes it all the more important to condition the fluid extensively while monitoring the oil condition.
Our solution: fluid conditioning 4.0Digitisation of processes in maintenance calls for smart solutions
For a system to be fully efficient and safe, it needs a sophisticated fluid conditioning strategy and continuous online monitoring. Only a holistic approach can permanently improve the state of the used fluids, significantly increase machine availability and decrease the operating costs (cost reductions of up to 30% are not uncommon).
HYDAC fluid units with smart sensors can create the required oil condition. Our portfolio focuses on sustainability and includes all the components and complete solutions needed to implement it – with the right product for every application.
Removal of solid particles
Firmly integrated into your system, offline units perform fine filtration and thus ensure continuously high oil cleanliness. As they provide optimal operating conditions, HYDAC units enable very cost-effective filtration – regardless of how your overall system is operated. Even in mobile use, whether it’s in service or for care and maintenance, our HYDAC solutions provide both offline filtration to systems and filtered filling and transfer of fluids. Thanks to tried-and-tested HYDAC sensors, your system can have optimal protection from the outset.

HYDAC OffLine Filter OLF 15/30/45/60
Our HYDAC OffLine Filters of the OLF 15/30/45/60 series are robust off-line filters for stationary applications in hydraulic and lubrication systems with a large fluid volume. Optionally with integrated fluid monitoring. Find out more!
HYDAC service unit MobileFiltration Unit MFU 15
The MobileFiltration Unit MFU is used as a portable service unit for filling hydraulic systems, flushing small hydraulic systems and for cleaning in bypass flow. Optionally with integrated monitoring of the solid particle contamination in accordance with ISO4406.
HYDAC service unit FiltrationUnit OFX
As a portable service unit, our HYDAC FiltrationUnit OFX enables filling and draining of hydraulic systems. The 45 bar operating pressure also means it can be used to fill and vent supply circuits of hydrostatic transmission drives and work hydraulics in a closed circuit.
Separation of fluids and gases
From water to gas – depending on requirements, our HYDAC solutions use cutting-edge methods for separation. Whether it’s the vacuum method, coalescence method or superabsorber, our HYDAC solutions enable efficient separation of free and dissolved water, gases and air. Used in conjunction with efficient offline filtration, they give your hydraulic system optimal protection. We develop solutions that meet the specifications of system manufacturers.
Our HYDAC solutions for dewatering and degassing your machine
HYDAC Entwässerungsaggregate
Zur Abscheidung von freiem und gelöstem Wasser sowie Gasen: Durch die Kombination von Vakuumverfahren und effizienter Nebenstrom-Filterelementtechnik erreicht unsere FluidAqua Mobil Baureihe eine hohe Wirtschaftlichkeit. Dank effizienter Abscheidung sorgt unser Aggregat für niedrigste Rest-Wassergehalte, Gasgehalte und partikuläre Verschmutzung Ihrer Betriebsflüssigkeiten.
HYDAC Coalescer
Die HYDAC Coalescer dienen der Abscheidung von freiem Wasser, arbeiten sehr effizient und sind gleichzeitig wartungsarm. Sie eignen sich für Hydraulik- und Schmieröle mit Dichten unter 950 kg/m3.
Auch bei kontinuierlichem Wassereintrag ins System sind die Coalescer die ideale Lösung.
HYDAC Filterlösungen mit integrierter Wasserabscheidung (Superabsorber)
Die hochwertigen Aquamicron Filterelemente eignen sich für die effiziente Abscheidung von Feststoffverschmutzung und verfügen darüber hinaus über die Fähigkeit, Restwassermengen aus dem Fluid aufzunehmen. Somit schützen Sie Ihre Anlage und Fluide mit nur einem Element effizient vor verschmutzungsbedingten Anlagenausfällen und hohen Betriebskosten.
HYDAC dewatering unit OffLine Separator OLS
Our housing for the strictest cleanliness requirements: various filter element types, housing sizes and pressure ranges are at your disposal. With the HYDAC OLS, you are always flexible!
HYDAC filter solutions with integrated water separation (superabsorber)
Benefit from high-quality filters and filter elements from HYDAC! We offer you specific solutions for separating free water. Minimise wear to your hydraulic components, for example, by using professional filtration of your mobile hydraulic devices.
Separation of oil degradation products
Because modern fluids have different basic oil properties, gel-like or even varnish-like deposits have become more common. In machines with high fluid loads in particular, this means an increase in new kinds of deposits, significantly changing how the oil deteriorates. A factor that dramatically reduces both the component service life and productivity.
To counter this, HYDAC can support you with efficient systems for separating oil degradation products. This means you can fully exploit your system’s potential and save valuable resources!
For your hydraulic or lubricating oil applications: our HYDAC product range for separating varnish
HYDAC VarnishElimination Unit VEU-F
For the removal of solid or gel-like oil degradation products: the service-friendly VarnishElimination Units VEU are used to condition mineral oils. They are particularly effective at removing oil degradation products from mineral oils.
HYDAC VarnishElimination Unit VEU-I
The easy-to-service ion exchange units of the VEU-I series are used for the preparation of phosphate-ester-based (HFD-R) flame-resistant hydraulic and lubrication fluids.
They effectively remove the acidic decomposition products arising from hydrolysis and/or oxidation of the fluid, and metal ions. Depending on the resin elements used, water contained in the HFD-R oil can be separated.
