CONTAINER / HYDRAULIC CYLINDER STUFFING BOX DRAIN CONTAINER

Hydraulic cylinder stuffing box drain container

The drain reservoir collects the small amount of oil that leaks past the rod seal of a hydraulic cylinder. Every reciprocating rod seal allows a trace of oil to escape over time; left uncontrolled, this leakage drips onto the machine and the floor, creating contamination, slip hazards and waste

PRINCIPLE

Drain reservoir for hydraulic cylinder leakage

The drain reservoir collects the small amount of oil that leaks past the rod seal of a hydraulic cylinder. Every reciprocating rod seal allows a trace of oil to escape over time; left uncontrolled, this leakage drips onto the machine and the floor, creating contamination, slip hazards and waste. The drain reservoir captures that leak oil cleanly through a dedicated drain line, keeping the working area oil-free and the leaked oil contained for proper disposal or reuse. It is a focused solution within DropsA's reservoirs and accessories range, especially valuable on hydraulic equipment with many cylinders. A leakage port is provided between the cylinder's rod seal and the wiper. The oil that passes the rod seal is led from this port through a dedicated drain line to the reservoir, where it is collected. One drain line is assigned to each cylinder, so the source of any leakage is clearly identified. The collected level can be checked visually or electrically, so refilling and emptying become a planned, routine task rather than a reaction to a mess on the floor. Captures rod-seal leak oil cleanly through a dedicated drain line Keeps floors oil-free — fewer slip hazards and less contamination One line per cylinder, so leakage is clearly attributed Visual or electrical level check for planned emptying Leaked oil contained for proper disposal or reuse The reservoir is selected by the number of cylinders, the expected leakage volume and whether visual or electrical level monitoring is required. The capacity is application-dependent and specified on request. Because the leakage rate is itself diagnostic, the drain reservoir doubles as a simple condition-monitoring aid.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the drain reservoir

What is the drain reservoir for?
It collects the oil that leaks past the rod seal of a hydraulic cylinder, capturing it through a dedicated drain line to keep floors oil-free and the oil contained.
How is the leakage captured?
A leakage port between the rod seal and the wiper leads the oil through a dedicated drain line to the reservoir, with one line assigned per cylinder.
How is the level monitored?
Visually or electrically, so emptying can be scheduled as a routine task.
Can it help detect a worn seal?
Yes. Because the leakage rate is diagnostic, a sudden rise in collected oil points to a worn rod seal before it becomes a larger failure.
What capacity is available?
The capacity is application-dependent and specified on request, based on the number of cylinders and the expected leakage volume.
