6. Key Takeaways

• Kleenoil bypass filtration has transformed oil condition across all 6 moulders. o From dirty, water-contaminated oil → to clean, dry, stable fluid . o TAN reduced, PQ indices down, ISO codes now world-class. • Seasonal humidity explains the minor water increases; not a mechanical problem. • Sampling confirms reliability: o NB2000T & KM1300T showed water creep but remained safe. o KM2700T showed a mid-size particle rise (6 µm channel), which can be monitored. o NB800T & NB1300T stabilised copper at low levels, suggesting benign bronze leaching. • Savings & Benefits: o Extended component life (servo valves, pumps, actuators). o Reduced oil changes (oil life doubled or tripled). o Fewer breakdowns/downtime, saving thousands per incident. o Predictive maintenance: Sampling detects issues early (water rises, copper trends, particle distribution) so repairs can be scheduled, not reactive.

7. Forward Strategy

• Continue routine sampling every 6 – 8 weeks. • Trend water to confirm humidity-related rises stabilise. • Track copper in NB1300T & NB800T for any upward movement. • Use ISO trends to prove long-term benefit of bypass filtration.

Conclusion: The six injection moulders (NB1300T, NB800T, KM2700T, 13E800T, KM1300T, NB2000T) now operate with world-class oil cleanliness and stability.

This directly reduces wear, extends oil and component life, and supports predictive maintenance.

Over time, the result is lower operating costs, higher machine reliability, and extended asset life.
