Schaeffer Manufacturing’s VarniClean is formulated to remove existing varnish buildup on manufacturing/production equipment, especially high-temperature and high-pressure hydraulic systems.
Increased power output and system pressure cause the temperature of heavy manufacturing and industrial equipment to rise, leading to the formation of varnish and sludge deposits on components. This buildup causes equipment valves to stick and gum up, leading to downtime for repairs and lost productivity, higher energy and maintenance costs, and a restriction in oil flow because of clogged filters. VarniClean is designed to remove the existing varnish and sludge buildup, and eliminate valve sticking and poor servo performance. It can be coupled with the company’s VarniShield product, which effectively prevents the formulation of varnish. The two products can be applied to hydraulic, turbine, paper machine and air compressor systems and quench baths.
