Production-Line Lubricant Filtration for a U.S. Lubricant Manufacturer
JY-DX40-L systems purchased in multiple units, installed on lubricant production lines, in long-term production operation.
A lubricant manufacturer in North America purchased JY-DX40-L skid-mounted filtration systems in multiple units and installed them on its lubricant production lines for terminal precision filtration between blending and filling. The deployment began with a single pilot unit and expanded to full coverage of the customer's core production lines. The systems are in long-term production operation.
Customer
A lubricant manufacturer in North America — possessing proprietary brands, strategic geographical positioning and robust blending capabilities, delivering from-formula-R&D-to-terminal-packaging contract manufacturing services to global distributors and OEM clients. The customer's name is not disclosed.
Application
Lubricant blending → terminal (guard) filtration → filling line → finished lubricant packaging. JY-DX40-L integrated into the online/circulation filtration loop between the blending kettle discharge and the automated filling line, processing hydraulic oils, gear oils, transmission fluids and specialty industrial oils.
Challenge
The customer required stable, quantifiable filtration performance for production-line lubricant quality control: finished oils needed to consistently meet strict OEM cleanliness standards, precision filling valves were wearing from micron-level hard particles, and non-compliant spot checks forced full-tank reprocessing.
Jingyuan Solution
JY-DX40-L skid-mounted filtration system with 5 µm absolute precision configuration (β10 ≥ 200, ISO 16889), rated 20 m³/h, three-valve non-stop bypass design, gas-pulse membrane regeneration, zero disposable cartridge operation.
From Pilot Unit to Full Production-Line Coverage
The customer initially deployed a single JY-DX40-L for on-site validation, targeting verification of whether absolute filtration technology could raise particle counts to OEM standards without impeding blending efficiency. Following the pilot period, the customer placed additional orders — deploying a total of 4 units to achieve coverage across all core production lines.
Documented Results from Stable Operation
The following results are documented in Jingyuan's official technical documentation for this application. They are customer-specific results — not general product guarantees.
| Observed Outcome | Documented Result |
|---|---|
| Outgoing particle counts | Improved from ISO 21/19/16 to ISO 15/13/10 after stable system operation |
| Batch rework | Batch rework rate due to non-compliant oil dropped to under 0.2% (reported as a 95% reduction) |
| Filling nozzle replacement | Replacement frequency of precision filling nozzles decreased by 30% |
| Unplanned downtime | Unplanned equipment downtime reduced by over 80% |
| Maintenance cost | Structural reduction of roughly 30% in annual comprehensive maintenance cost per filling machine |
| OEM readiness | Certified cleanliness reports now provided alongside product to OEM clients |
In the Customer's Words
"We initially purchased the first JY-DX40-L to resolve a critical quality bottleneck, but its filtration efficiency and precise control over ISO levels far exceeded our expectations. Upon seeing the first week's test data, we ordered the other three units with almost zero hesitation, because it equips us with absolute quality confidence to compete in the OEM market."

Running the Same Evaluation Path
Jingyuan recommends a three-step validation path before factory-wide rollout: full-link contamination audit (blending kettle outlet, intermediate pipelines, filling head), single-line pilot validation with third-party particle-count Before/After reporting, then ROI calculation and factory-wide deployment.
