Description
Mobile Solution for Handling 200-Litre Drums
The Drum Transport Trolley Type SMFS-U-DL-015-G is an advanced engineering solution within the STAUFF Mobile Filtration Systems (SMFS) range. Designed to operate directly on standard 200-litre (52 US GAL) oil drums, this system combines the mobility of a transport trolley with the efficiency of a high-performance offline filtration unit. The unit is developed to support preventive maintenance, enabling the transfer of fresh oils or the purification of existing hydraulic and lubrication systems.
Construction Features and Robust Design
The system architecture is defined by an extremely robust transport cart, engineered to withstand demanding industrial environments. Handling is facilitated by heavy-duty swivel castors, equipped with a locking device on the rear end to ensure stability during filtration operations. The design includes a convenient filling port and a drip tray for residual oil, ensuring clean and safe operation. With an approximate weight of 85 kg (without drum), the structure guarantees both strength and ease of handling.
Motor-Pump Unit and Performance
The core of the system consists of a high-quality gear pump capable of delivering a maximum nominal flow rate of 15 l/min (4 US GPM). The unit is driven by an electric motor configured for a 230 V 50 Hz power supply, suitable for continuous-duty operation. This configuration allows small to medium-sized systems to be purified in short timeframes while maintaining high energy efficiency.
Filtration Technology and Monitoring
The Drum Transport Trolley Type SMFS-U-DL-015-G uses Spin-On filter elements from the SFC-57/58 series, which include a visual clogging indicator to monitor filter condition in real time. Operational flexibility is ensured by the availability of different micron ratings, ranging from 3 to 125 µm, allowing the filtration level to be tailored to specific system requirements. The system also benefits from the following filtration features:
- 4Pro Filter Media: The filter elements use 4Pro media for high dirt-holding capacity and superior filtration performance.
- Pre-filtration: All units are equipped with a 200 µm pre-filter.
- Water Removal: The optional SF-6721-W element is available for water absorption.
Applications and Safety
Manufactured in Germany, the system offers easy and safe handling. It is the ideal tool for operators requiring flexible mobile use for offline filtration, ensuring maximum protection of hydraulic components through thorough fluid decontamination.
