Key Considerations for Tank Mounted Suction Hydraulic Filters

When selecting or buying tank mounted suction hydraulic filters, it is important to consider the following key factors:

  1. Filtration Efficiency: Ensure that the filter has a high filtration efficiency to effectively remove contaminants from the hydraulic fluid.

  2. Flow Rate: Select a filter that can handle the required flow rate for your hydraulic system without causing pressure drops.

  3. Pressure Rating: Consider the maximum operating pressure of your hydraulic system and choose a filter that can withstand that pressure.

  4. Compatibility: Ensure that the filter is compatible with the type of hydraulic fluid used in your system.

  5. Maintenance Requirements: Consider the ease of maintenance of the filter, including access for replacement and cleaning.

  6. Size and Dimension: Ensure that the filter fits the available space in your hydraulic system and can be easily mounted on the tank.

  7. Quality and Reliability: Choose a filter from a reputable manufacturer known for producing high-quality and reliable products.

  8. Cost: Consider the initial cost of the filter as well as long-term operating costs, including replacement filter elements.

  9. Additional Features: Look for filters with additional features such as bypass valves, visual indicators for filter element condition, or differential pressure gauges for monitoring filter performance.

By considering these factors, you can select the most appropriate tank mounted suction hydraulic filter for your specific application.
