Drain Port Adapter Kits are the latest Des-Case Innovation

For decades, maintenance personnel have been combining multiple technologies on the drains of their equipment to try to control contamination and effectively remove or replace oil. There’s now a single solution for draining oil from gearboxes, hydraulic reservoirs, totes and other industrial equipment. Des-Case Corporation introduced today the new Drain Port Adapter Kit, which functions as the connection between industrial equipment and filtration systems.

This unique kit provides multiple useful components such as level indicators, sample ports and a free water sight glass when port locations are limited. The level indicator and vent tube pair perfectly with other Des-Case fill port adapter kits, which are easily customized to each piece of equipment with a variety of desiccant breathers, ports, and multiple connection thread sizes.

Drain port adapter kits will be available for purchase May 1, 2012. Click here for more information about the Des-Case Drain Port Adapter Kit or call 615-672-8800 to speak with Des-Case technical support.

Des-Case Corporation, a leading manufacturer of contamination control products for industrial lubricants, showcased its new Generation 4 HiVAC Vacuum Dehydrator at Finepoint’s 18th Annual Circuit Breaker Test & Maintenance Conference in Jackson, MS, October 3-7, 2011.

The HiVAC series is specifically designed for transformer oils and energized equipment. The new Gen4 offers a more compact design − and therefore smaller footprint− as well as greater efficiency with a taller, rectangular vacuum tower. The HiVAC contains a high quality, specialty pump that pulls deeper vacuum (˂.75torr), higher CFM and requires less maintenance than other conventional vacuum pumps.
Its most impressive new feature is the permanent dispersion media located in the vacuum tower that maximizes water extraction rates and eliminates the need for costly replacement of coalescing filter elements. And, because the media is permanent, the vacuum tower never needs to be opened for maintenance, which can expose the system to contamination. Equally impressive is the new Gen4 VAC Series Vacuum Dehydrator for industrial oils which also features a new design and permanent dispersion media.
