The Tech Inc. Vacuum Oil Dehydrator for Rolling Mills (model TI-VDS60) removes water from the circulating oil of steel rolling mills. Roll-cooling water leaks past bearing seals into bearing and hydraulic oil, and the dehydrator boils it off under vacuum at a low temperature that does not harm the oil or its additives. Installed as a fixed unit beside the mill oil tank, it treats 60 litres a minute in a continuous side-stream loop.
Main components
- Inlet pump and suction strainer drawing from the mill oil tank
- Oil heater with temperature control
- Vacuum chamber in which the oil is spread in a thin film to release its water
- Vacuum pump and condenser, proven components from leading makers
- Discharge pump with particle filter returning dry oil to the tank
- Water-in-oil sensor, level controls and foam protection
- PLC with alarms, run records and signals to the mill control system
Applications: oil-film roll-neck bearing lube systems, mill hydraulic systems, gearbox and circulating oil systems, and oil recovery after water ingress at hot strip, plate, bar and cold rolling mills.
