MAXIMUM PROTECTION FROM CONTAMINATION
MP Filtri’s filter elements protect hydraulic and lubrication systems from contamination and solid particulates. Particulate contamination is the primary cause of failures and malfunctions in these systems.
One range of elements can also protect from water ingress which leads to degradation of the lubrication capability and the surface protection provided by the fluid.
The most effective method of controlling contamination within the systems is usually achieved by mechanical processes.
The surface filtration prevents any particles greater than the pore size entering the system by direct intervention. This filter media normally comprises metal mesh material.
Depth filters are composed of overlapping fiber mats, which form flow-paths in various shapes and dimensions. The particles are retained in the pores, which are smaller than the diameter of the particles. The filter materials are normally fabricated with phenol resin impregnated cellulose fibres, metal fibres or inorganic fibres. During filtering with inorganic fibres (commonly called microfibres) the filter layers are often placed on top of each other to increase the element’s efficiency to retain contamination.
