The selection and proper use of hydraulic filters are crucial tools in the effort to reduce overall operating costs. We offer complete hydraulic filters and elements, with and without water-absorbing media, from our supplier Filtrec. The filters are available in various sizes and can come with bypass and indicator features. The range of filter elements includes filter housings and purification units within return filters, pressure filters, suction filters, bypass filters, inline and offline filters.

Achieving Optimal Operating Conditions

The function of a hydraulic filter is to clean oil and prevent dirt, water, or other particles from entering the hydraulic system. Unwanted particles can cause significant damage to the components of the hydraulic system if not controlled. A well-maintained hydraulic filter system often results in optimal operating conditions and a longer lifespan.

Pressure Filters

In-line filters protect the most sensitive components of the hydraulic system as they are located on the pressure side. To provide maximum circuit protection, they must be equipped with robust housings and the appropriate filter elements capable of handling various pressures. These products typically have greater capacity and pressure characteristics than other filter elements.

Return Filters

Return hydraulic filters are usually the last component that the hydraulic fluid passes through before entering the reservoir. Return filters purify hydraulic fluids and prevent the ingress of wear debris or particles from both internal components and the external environment. These filters are generally installed on top of the tank, either fully or partially submerged. With the help of available accessories, it is possible to reduce foam, turbulence, and the generation of free air in the reservoir, which can cause cavitation in the pumps.

Suction Filters

Hydraulic suction filters are placed before the inlet section of the pump, which is a sensitive component in the hydraulic system. Suction filters play the critical role of protecting against coarser particles and contamination while ensuring a stable flow in the system.
