Why is Hydraulic Filtration Important?

Unfortunately, hydraulic systems are inherently vulnerable to contamination from grease, organic matter, dirt, and other particles, which can increase friction within the system and lead to increased wear, loss of efficiency, and even system failure through overheating. Filtration systems remove particulates and contaminants from hydraulic fluid to maintain cleanliness and normal operations. High quality filtration systems are also sometimes needed to meet operational, energy efficiency, or environmental standards relevant to your industry.

 

MP Filtri: Leading the Field in Hydraulic Filtration Solutions

MP Filtri is a distinguished name in the hydraulic filtration industry, with a range of robust products and a strong focus on research and development, which enables the business to push the boundaries of hydraulic filtration technology and set new benchmarks for quality. Their range includes high-performance filters and smart contamination monitoring devices, helping to improve hydraulic system efficiency and reliability.

Their newest line of filters offers market leading contamination control, capable of capturing even the smallest particulates that could compromise your hydraulic fluid integrity. MP Filtri products are perfectly designed for machinery used in challenging outdoor environments, including mobile agricultural plant exposed to fluctuating weather conditions year-round, and construction plant exposed to the rigours of dust and vibrations on site.

 

Why Specify MP Filtri Products for Your Application?

1) Improved efficiency: MP Filtri’s filtration products help to reduce the energy losses often associated with contaminated systems. This improves your operational efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and reduces emissions, benefiting both your bottom line and sustainability goals.

2) Lower lifetime maintenance costs: effective filtration minimises wear and tear on your hydraulic components and wider application, increasing service intervals and decreasing the frequency of costly repairs. This can translate into substantial lifetime savings and reduced unscheduled downtime for your application and customers.

3) Greater equipment longevity: the longevity of hydraulic applications is often directly linked to the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid. By keeping fluid contamination at bay, you can often notably extend the lifespan of valves, pumps, motors, and other components. This enhances your return on investment and supports more sustainable operations.
