GET STC, member of A General Group, was recently appointed as an official distributor of the SKF RecondOil filter system.
Nowadays, most companies use their industrial oil until it degrades, which means it eventually has to be discarded and replaced with new oil. But since machinery/equipment owners want to get the most out of their oil, they often run their machines with contaminated oil for long periods – a common cause of premature equipment failure.
In this context, RecondOil is a system that uses advanced filtration technology to remove impurities from used oil, restoring it to a “like-new” condition that meets or exceeds the quality of new oil. This process can extend the life of oil and reduce the need for new oil purchases while minimizing its environmental impact and equipment wear and tear.
The RecondOil service includes on-site equipment installation, operation, and maintenance and is designed to be a cost-effective solution for industry, including the marine sector.
More specifically, SKF RecondOil filter technology removes all types of contaminants from oil, such as soft and hard particles, bacteria, water (free, bound, or emulsified), sludge, insoluble substances (varnish), soluble substances (pre-varnish), and oxidation products.
The SKF RecondOil technology makes the circular use of oil possible, providing benefits to its users such as sustainability improvement, oil cost reduction, and performance improvement.
Through their collaboration, GET STC and SKF will look for new ways to promote the RecondOil filter technology, given the increased demand of greener solutions and sustainability requirements of the marine industry.
