Our proven method and specialized equipment keeps down time to a minimum and ensures your human resources remain available for other maintenance and tasks on site.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">As recently as 15 to 20 years ago the oil was changed by a human chain with buckets of oil. Some companies still rely on this method even now. However, it is hardly viable. First, manual labor is time consuming. Second, a simple oil change does not solve the problem since most contaminants remain in the gearbox after the change and quickly contaminate new oil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Manually changing the oil is a difficult and time-consuming task. Workers lift and lower oil in special canisters using lifting devices (elevators or ladders). This would commonly require a team of three or four and about eight hours of work time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Time and labor costs can be reduced by using special oil-change equipment that facilitates quick servicing with integrated oil containment and transportation tanks; an oil heater to reduce viscosity and speed oil pumping; gearbox cleaning with special flushing oil; and mitigation of oil spills and contact between the oil and the environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>CG Ton lifting Consultants Mobile Turbine oil replacement unit<\/strong>\u00a0consists of a Electrical 3 phase motor with rated pump, Electrical control panel, a clean oil tank, a used oil tank and drums for hoses. All parts are installed on a two axle trailer. Should power be unavailable, the unit can be powered by a generator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The amount of oil supplied is recorded by \u00a0a pump nozzle with flow meter at the outlet of the filling hose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">A mesh filter protects pumps from large solid particles. A 12micron fine filter removes particles which may have accumulated in the oil during storage and transportation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Advantanges of using the Mobile oil replacement unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">high quality servicing of wind turbine gearboxes;<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">mobility and transportation on trailer or in container;<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">compact dimensions;<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">sufficient volume of tanks to change oil in three wind turbine gearboxes;<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">oil change takes no more than one or 2-3 hours;<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">hoses can be rapidly reeled in on motorized drums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Economic Viability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The economic viability of using the wind turbine gear oil changer compared to manual labor is obvious.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, changing 800 liters of oil requires 12 hours for a team of two.
