In the operation of industrial equipment, the cleanliness of lubricating oil directly affects the life and efficiency of the equipment. In response to the stringent demand for high-precision filtration in modern industry, we have launched the LYC series of high-precision oil filters, which reconstructs the standard of oil purification with breakthrough technology, provides all-round protection for the mechanical system, and becomes the core solution in the fields of metallurgy, electric power, chemical industry, construction machinery and so on.
l Product Definition and Core Value
LYC series of high-precision oil filter is a precision filtration equipment designed for industrial lubrication system, the core function is to efficiently remove solid particles, colloidal impurities, water and gelatinous pollutants in the oil to ensure that the oil cleanliness reaches the requirements of the ISO 4406 standard level. Its modular design is suitable for a variety of lubrication systems, from the circulating oil circuit of large-scale turbines to the servo oil circuit of precision hydraulic systems, all of which can realize customized filtration solutions. The product adopts all-metal skeleton and composite filtration media, which combines high-strength pressure-resistant performance with long-lasting filtration efficiency, significantly reduces the wear of the equipment, extends the oil change cycle, and helps industrial production to realize energy saving and reliability enhancement.
l Working Principle: Multi-Stage Composite Filtration Technology
The purification process of LYC oil filter is based on a three-stage gradient filtration mechanism, which realizes efficient retention of pollutants layer by layer:
Ø Pre-filtration layer: the outer layer adopts large aperture wire mesh (50-100 micron), which can quickly intercept large particles of impurities (e.g. metal shavings, welding slag) and reduce the load of the main filtration layer.
Ø Core fine filtration layer: the middle layer is nano-fiber composite filter material with uniform pore size distribution (1-10 microns), capturing submicron particles (such as rust, colloid) through deep adsorption and sieving, with filtration precision of up to 99.9% (βx ≥ 2000, ISO 19438 standard).
Ø Deep adsorption layer: the inner layer integrates activated carbon or polar adsorption material, which is targeted at removing polar pollutants (such as oxidation products and water) in the oil, inhibiting oil deterioration and maintaining stable lubrication performance.
When the oil flows through the filter element, the differential pressure sensor monitors the resistance change in real time, and the intelligent control system can automatically alarm or switch to the backup filter.
l Core Components And Material Innovation
Ø Filter Media: glass fiber and aramid fiber blended matrix, coated with oleophobic/hydrophilic nano-coating (customized according to working conditions), optimizing pollutant capture efficiency and reducing pressure drop. Backbone: 316L stainless steel sintered mesh support structure, high pressure resistant (up to 31MPa), corrosion resistant.
Ø Skeleton: 316L stainless steel sintered mesh support structure, high pressure resistance (up to 31.5MPa), corrosion resistance, adaptable to high temperatures (-40℃~120℃) and harsh working conditions.
Ø Intelligent Control Module (Optional)
Integrate differential pressure transmitter and pollution sensor, connect to industrial internet of things through 485 communication interface, realize remote monitoring and cartridge life prediction, support PLC/DCS system linkage.
Ø Shell Design
Forged aluminum alloy or cast steel shell, flow channel optimization design to reduce turbulence, built-in bypass valve (7-10bar opening pressure) to prevent the filter element clogging flow, to protect the system safety.

An application case in a steel company shows that LYC oil filters have extended the replacement interval of rolling mill bearings from 6 months to 18 months, reduced oil consumption by 40%, and lowered the overall annual maintenance cost by 25%. Its environmental characteristics (reduced waste oil production) also helped the enterprise to meet the requirements of ISO 14001 environmental management system.
l Industry Value And Future Prospect
The technological breakthrough of LYC series of high-precision oil filters not only solves the pain points of “lack of precision” and “poor reliability” of traditional oil filters, but also promotes the transformation of industrial maintenance mode from “regular oil change” to “on-demand purification”: the transformation from “regular oil change” to “on-demand purification”. It not only solves the pain points of “lack of precision” and “poor reliability” of traditional oil filters, but also promotes the transformation of industrial maintenance mode from “regular oil change” to “purification on demand”:
Ø Efficiency Improvement: After the application in an automotive transmission plant, gearbox downtime decreased by 60% and the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) increased by 12%;
