Characteristics
The advantages are accurate and absolute filtration, small dimensions and no flushing of filter particles. Wire mesh filters offer a greater flow than sinter filters. The disadvantage of using an in-line filter, is the lower dirt holding capacity than that of a sintered filter.
The following filter fine units can be delivered: 5 up to 500 µm. You should select the filter fineness depending on the component you wish to protect, and it’s sensitivity to the presence of dirt in the system.
The dirt absorbing capacity as well as the expected service life of the filters depends on the initial cleanliness of the system and also the amount of dirt being brought into to the system e.g. by upstream components. The filters have no bypass valves and must therefore be regularly maintained.
