New fluid is not necessarily clean fluid. Most new fluids (right out of the drum) are unfit for use due to high initial contamination levels. Contamination, both particulate and water, may be added to a new fluid during processing, mixing, handling and storage.

The bottom line - fluid should always be filtered before being put into use. The Parker Guardian Portable Filtration System offers a unique pump/motor/filter combination, designed for conditioning and transferring petroleum-based and water emulsion fluids. This unit protects systems from contamination added by new fluid. The Guardian also circulates and “polishes” existing fluid in systems to reduce the contamination to an acceptable level.

The Guardian is lightweight, compact, and hand-held, making it easy to carry and reach difficult areas. Fitting easily on a 55 gallon drum, this convenient unit and only requires one person to operate – saving labor costs.

There are literally hundreds of applications that the Guardian is suited for, with more being discovered each day. If your system is sensitive to the harmful effects of contamination, then the Guardian may be ideal for you.
