REPEAT/puraDYN Unveils New By-Pass Filter Technology At TMC Show
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--March 14, 2001--puraDYN(TM) Filter Technologies Inc. unveiled the next generation of its by-pass oil filtration systems at The Maintenance Council of American Trucking Associations Inc. (TMC) show in Nashville, TN on March 11, 2001.The product was introduced by Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO of puraDYN.
Similar to the company's previous units, the new puraDYN by-pass oil filters allow engines to operate for hundreds of thousands of miles without the need for a traditional oil change. This substantial reduction in oil changes permits puraDYN customers to save significant maintenance costs including up to a 90% reduction in the need for new oil and the amount of oil for disposal.
"Our new generation of filters utilize cutting-edge technology to maximize the ability of our by-pass filters to keep engine oil constantly clean and conditioned," said Kroger. "We have introduced the new generation of filters to work with the latest engine and lubricant technology and to assist fleet and individual truck owners in saving money and preserving the environment."
As with puraDYN's previous system, the new generation of filters clean, reduce and maintain oil contaminants down to 0.25 micron (standard full-flow oil filters maintain contaminants in the 15 - 40 micron range). By continually removing contaminates and replacing vital additives through its patented time-release additive package, puraDYN's filters substantially extend intervals between oil changes.
For its new filters, puraDYN has implemented patented technology that provides several improvements over previous puraDYN filters including:
| - | CGP (Chemical Grafting Process): This new technology improves the attraction and retention of soot and other solid contaminants to the packed cotton filter material. |
| - | Increased oil distribution within the filter: New product engineering distributes oil more evenly throughout the main filter element. This reduces the effect of "channeling." |
| - | Ease of maintenance: The filter element of the new filter can be replaced in a matter of seconds. |
puraDYN developed the new filter technology over the past three years. Field testing was conducted over the past 30 months. The consolidated results from across the country show that test vehicles averaged more than 160,000 miles without the need for a traditional oil change. In addition, 1800 hours of in-house and independent testing has been conducted on the new filter. No oil related problems were experienced during laboratory or field testing.
The filter elements for the new generation of puraDYN filters have been designed so they can also be used with all previous puraDYN units.
About puraDYN
puraDYN manufactures and markets the puraDYN By-Pass Oil Filtration System, a unit that continuously filters lubricating oil by reducing solid contaminates to less than one micron, as well as removing liquid contaminants, therefore maintaining the oil's viscosity and greatly reducing or even eliminating the necessity for oil changes. As a result of this continuous process, the useful engine life can be extended. The puraDYN system is effective for internal combustion engines, hydraulic applications and automatic transmissions in the automotive, transportation, construction, marine, agriculture, mining, military and power generating industries. In addition to the economies realized by the reduced purchases of new oil and the costs of disposing of used oil (up to 90%) and extended equipment life, the puraDYN By-Pass Oil Filtration System has been certified as a "Pollution Preventing Technology" by the California Environmental Protection Agency.
