Product catalog summary
Introduction to Filtration
Filtration is a critical process in various industries, serving as a protective measure for manufacturing equipment and products. It is essential in hydraulic and lube oil systems to prevent contamination, which can lead to costly repairs and downtime. Process filtration focuses on the product itself, aiming to reduce contaminants or clarify fluids by removing specific particle sizes.
Filter Applications
  • High Pressure: Used in servo valve protection, hydraulic equipment in mining, logging, paper mills, die cast machines, and machining centers.
  • Medium Pressure: Suitable for test stands, machine tools, presses, motion controls, and mobile boom trucks.
  • Low Pressure: Applied in return line filtration, machining centers, power units, filter carts, and mobile equipment like farm and construction machinery.
Industry-Specific Applications
  • Chemical Processing: Removal of soft gels and precious metal catalysts, suitable for high-temperature applications.
  • Food & Beverage: Iron oxide removal in steam services.
  • Water Treatment: Resin removal from radioactive wastewater in nuclear plants.
  • Paper & Pulp: Aqueous coatings filtration in paper mills.
  • Film & Fiber: Removal of gels and black specks in polymers.

Hydraulic and Lube oil systems around the world require filtration to protect pumps and valves for continued operation. Both hydraulic and lube oil systems are closed loop systems, with the same fluid being recirculated through the system for hundreds of hours. During this cycle, contaminant can be introduced...
