Best Practice Failure Prevention for Fluid Systems
MagShield your new best practice
They are specifically designed to only filter particles above a certain design size (usually between 3 and 5 microns) with smaller particles passing through the filter and remaining in the system; and
The holding capacity of these filters is limited therefore filters need to be changed regularly and if large quantities of contamination is introduced into the circuit, such as when a component fails, it is likely that the media filter will reach capacity and enter bypass mode leaving your system unprotected from that point.
The unique design of MagShield, using magnetic filtration, seamlessly collects ferrous material across a much larger size range including micro fine particles (below 1 micron) and has a holding capacity of 5-10x the equivalent media filter.
This is why complementing traditional media filtration with our magnetic filtration products is now considered best practice by notable clients worldwide including in Caterpillar, Hitachi and Komatsu fleets.
MagShield’s magnetic filtration solutions are high capacity and highly efficient.
- With holding capacity of 5-10x that of a traditional media filter, in the event that a component fails prematurely it is likely that the material will be captured by the Magshield – thereby protecting the downstream components from the damage from component failure. The machine can be back to work earlier and at lower cost.
- It is very difficult to completely cleanse the circuit from contamination post failure. Magshield will immediately clean the system when the machine is back up and running, ensuring that the machine can stay in operation.
- The cleaning and maintenance of Magshield can be co-ordinated around the filter and oil change intervals.
Where our story began
MagShield®, formerly BAY6 Solutions, started its life in Canada in 2009 providing patented magnetic filtration technology to the mining, oil and gas, and heavy construction industries. We’ve spent many years diversifying our product specifications to suit an array of applications. In 2021 the company was acquired by an Australian-based private investment company, Enviro Technologies. With our main HQ now based in sunny Sydney, we’re pleased to support the growth of many of the best-known brands and businesses across the globe.
Who we work with
MagShield®’s preventative maintenance solutions are used throughout the resource, energy, construction and other industries. Our Mag-Shields® are regularly installed on new and used equipment by both customer technicians and major OEM dealers, including Komatsu, Hitachi, and Caterpillar.
Just some of the companies that use the protection of MagShield® include Suncor Energy, North American Construction Group, Rio Tinto, BHP, Syncrude Canada, Teck HVC, Teck Coal, Finning International, SMS Equipment, Shell Canada Energy, and Imperial Oil Resources.
