In the fascinating and fundamental field that is industrial fluid filtration, there exist many types of filter elements and many different types of media. In this article, we will briefly cover filter elements and the most common types of media they're made up of. The medias featured below include: cellulose, glass, wire mesh and water removal, coalesce and resin.
It is very susceptible to structural manipulation with increasing fluid temperatures; this can cause media migration or the deterioration of the media and its ability to work its way into a system. Cellulose filters have the ability to capture particles, but do little for particulate retention. When dirt enters the filter, it collects and then sheds, which can be very harmful to industrial systems.
Glass media is also immune to particle shedding, ensuring that the dirt that is captured stays where it is supposed to -- in the filter. There is also glass media with a water removal additive package. These water removal aspects provide superior particulate/water capture and retention capabilities, ensuring that not only do the particles captured stay in the filter but the gel that is absorbing water does as well.
Resin media is designed to selectively remove the contaminant without removing fluid additives. The use of resin results in fluids that perform better, last longer, and yield trouble-free operation for those who are responsible for maintaining them.
At Hy-Pro, our cored and coreless elements offer the dependability found with our Dualglass media technology in both accommodations, ensuring you don't have to sacrifice reliability for element type. If you have a housing, there is a great chance that we offer an upgraded filter for it, no matter the configuration.
With flow patterns, the different markets throughout the industry are comprised mostly of radial flowing elements (flowing inside-to-out or outside-to-in) with a minimal amount consisting of axial flowing elements (top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top). At Hy-Pro, our production process mirrors the industry with over 90% of our production consisting of radial flowing elements and 10% consisting of axial flowing elements, allowing Hy-Pro to work across many different types of markets.
With different systems of varying flow rates, Hy-Pro is as accommodating as possible. Our filter elements offer collapse ratings from 150 to 3000 psi, and even beyond for some. No matter the flow type, we ensure compatibility along with the durability and efficiency all of our filter elements are known for. No matter the system, we have solutions to help in your pursuit of Total System Cleanliness.
