Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A system for treating a lubricating material comprising a lubricating material reservoir, a lubricating material pressure line, and a means maintaining the working properties of the lubricating material having its inlet connected to said pressure line and its outlets connected to said reservoir, said maintaining means being a comminuting device used for breaking down solid contaminants existing within the lubricating material to a predetermined size, and said comminuting device consisting of a nozzle creating a high speed cavitating jet.
