Based on the amount of oil to be dried and the timeline to accomplish it, we recommended our UV-5 vacuum dehydrator rental unit. Below are the results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3 days<\/strong> after starting the vacuum dehydrator, the 300-gallon hydraulic system was dry and clean. &nbsp;Then they moved the unit to the 2 totes of wet oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4&nbsp;days<\/strong> later the 2 totes were dry and clean.<\/li>\n<li>With a couple of days left on their rental, the company decided to run the unit on 4 additional machines to polish the oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2 weeks<\/strong> after receiving the vacuum dehydrator they shipped it back to IFS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By then end of the rental, the&nbsp;injection molding machine was clean and they saved 2 extra totes of oil that they were going to have to dispose. &nbsp;The plant manager was thrilled with the efficiency of the unit, ease of operation and significant cost savings.<\/p>\n<p>Check out a more detail description of the project here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 30, a large plastic injection molder contacted us looking to remove water from hydraulic oil.
