The types of hydraulic filters mentioned are utilized in different systems. Two types of filtration systems can be distinguished based on the mobility of the installation: Mobile and stationary filtration systems.
1. Mobile Filtration Systems
Mobile filtration systems are extremely convenient for performing maintenance tasks in various facilities. These systems are used to separate solid particles, offering several advantages:
Advantages:
- Clean filling and flushing
- Flexible use in different facilities
- Main flow filter discharge
- Increased availability of facilities
- Reduced lifecycle costs
These filtration systems are highly useful as they allow maintenance work to be carried out in more than one installation.
2. Stationary Filtration Systems
A wide range of equipment and instruments are installed in fixed circuits. HYDAC’s stationary filtration systems are designed to separate solid particles, with or without integrated fluid sensors.
Advantages:
- Secondary flow filters for working filtration
- Easy retrofitting in existing installations
- Main flow filter discharge
- Increased availability of facilities
- Reduced lifecycle costs
Complementary Products
HYDAC offers a wide variety of complementary products for all types of hydraulic filters. There are three main groups of complementary equipment.
1. Filter Elements
The extensive product range provides different types of elements for numerous bypass filters. These elements are used to separate solid particles and water, available in the form of deep bed and surface filters.
2. Measurement and Analysis Systems
