Filter Type and Construction
Back to Top
Trigger | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Housing and Filter Assembly | Housing and filter assemblies have built-in casings or enclosures that cover and/or protect the filter assembly. | ||
Filter Element / Cartridge | Filter elements or cartridges are porous devices that perform the actual process of filtration. A filter element uses pleated or mesh construction and can be disposable (one-time use) or reusable. | ||
Housing Only | Housing-only products are porous enclosures that direct the flow of fluid through the filter element. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Assembly / Element Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
In-line | In-line products are filter assemblies in which the inlet, outlet, and filter element axes are in a straight line. | ||
Off-line (Recirculating) | Off-line or recirculating filters are completely independent of a machine's main hydraulic system. This filter configuration is sometimes called kidney loop, recirculating, or auxiliary filtration. | ||
Return-line (closed loop) | A return filter catches all debris generated by the system’s components and is designed to be the last component that fluid passes before returning to the system reservoir. The location of a return filter allows for much lower pressure ratings and helps reduce costs. | ||
Spin-on | Spin-on (canister) filters are common to both the automotive and mobile markets. Their design prohibits an operator from running a system without an element (canister) in place. | ||
Tank-mounted | The filter is mounted on top of or on the side of the reservoir. | ||
Duplex | Duplex transfer valves direct flow to one or two separate filters, permitting continuous uninterrupted filtration even during filter element change-out. | ||
Bag | Bag filter elements are a lower cost alternative to cartridge-style filters. They are used to filter sand, rust, and pipe-scale from plant process waters; metal shavings and wear particles from recycled cutting, quenching, flushing and hydraulic oils and coolants; and to filter contaminants that can plug nozzles in spray systems. | ||
Wire Mesh / Screen | Wire mesh (woven screen, wire cloth) is a metallic filter medium that is formed by weaving fine wires into a cloth with a controlled pore size. | ||
Magnetic | Magnetic filters are designed to trip ferrous particles. | ||
Other | Other unlisted or specialized filter types. | ||

Flow | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Full Flow | Full-flow filters prevent contaminated fluids from bypassing the filter element and contaminating the system. All of the fluid that enters the unit passes through the filtering element. Resistance to flow increases as the filter element becomes contaminated. | ||
Proportional or Partial Flow | Proportional or partial-flow products filter only a portion of the fluid that flows through a Venturi throat during each cycle. Constant recirculation through the system eventually causes all of the fluid to pass through the filter element. | ||

Filtration Product: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Coolants | Products filter particles and contaminants from coolants. | ||
Hydraulic Fluid | Products filter particles and contaminants from hydraulic fluid supply lines. | ||
Lubricants | Products remove particles and contaminants from lubricating circulation systems. | ||

Water Removal | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Water Absorption | Water absorption products remove entrained water contaminants from industrial lubricants, and also filter solid contaminants. | ||
Search Logic: | Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Performance Specifications

Maximum Pressure | This is the maximum pressure at which the filter is designed to operate. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Maximum Liquid Flow | This is the maximum liquid flow for which the filter is designed. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Features

Features | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Integral Bypass | If the filter element becomes clogged, a bypass relief valve allows fluid to bypass the filter element and pass directly through the outlet port. | ||
High Delta P Indication | The pressure across the filter changes as the element becomes dirty. High delta P indication provides local indication that the element needs to be replaced. | ||
Portable Filter Cart | The filter is portable and can be moved from one line or application to the next. | ||
