The History of Ditech and Filtrec

Ditech has been the exclusive distributor of Filtrec products in Norway, with a partnership dating back to 1992. Filtrec, headquartered in Telgate, Italy, is renowned for its production of high-quality hydraulic and process filters. With 12 international branches and over 350 employees worldwide, Filtrec has established itself as a global leader in filtration solutions.

Product Range and Innovations

Filtrec offers a comprehensive range of filters catering to various needs in multiple industries, including oil and gas, maritime, and manufacturing. Among their most popular products are:

• Hydraulic Filters: Designed to maintain the cleanliness of hydraulic systems, extending the system’s lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. Filtrec offers a wide range of inline, return, pressure, and suction filters covering different applications and needs.
• Process Filters: Used in water treatment, chemical processing, and other industrial processes. These filters ensure the purity of the liquids used and include simplex, duplex, self-cleaning, and gap-type filters.

In recent years, Filtrec has introduced several innovative products, including the Absolute Beta filter media. This new filter media offers improved filtration efficiency and longer life, contributing to reduced costs and a more sustainable future.

New Technologies: Indicators, Breather Filters, and Fluid Management

Filtrec has also invested in the development of indicators and breather filters, as well as fluid management solutions. The indicators, including visual and electrical models, detect the pressure downstream of the filter element. The visual indicators show the need for element replacement, while the electrical indicators activate an electrical switch when necessary.

Filtrec's breather filters are designed to prevent contamination in hydraulic systems by filtering out particles and moisture from the air entering the system. This ensures that only clean and dry air circulates, protecting against wear and corrosion.

The fluid management products are developed to ensure optimal oil quality through precise filtration and water removal. These units help reduce costs by extending the lifespan of hydraulic systems and ensuring efficient operation.
