Pipe, Inline, and T-Filters

Our filter solutions are designed to provide reliable component protection in fluid and gas systems. The product range includes line, inline, and T-filters, as well as the corresponding filter elements, air vents, and silencers.

Important information on technical changes, applications, standards and guidelines

Filter technology for clean and safe process media

Contaminants in fluid and gas systems can impair the function of sensitive components and reduce their service life. In particular, components with dynamic seals may be subject to increased wear due to abrasion caused by particles in the medium.

Our filtration solutions reliably remove residues from manufacturing and assembly processes—such as chips, welding residues, aging products, and coarse contaminants. They can also capture contaminants that enter the system due to wear or defects in upstream components.

An additional line, inline, or T-filter can help prevent unplanned failures, increased wear, and the resulting downtime. The filters serve as additional component protection and do not replace the standard working or main filter.

Filter Types and Filter Finenesses

Depending on the application, different filter media and filter finenesses are used:

  • Sy sintered filters (for fine filtration) Made from sintered metal powder. Suitable for fine filtration in the range of 0.5 µm, 1 µm, 2 µm, 7 µm, 15 µm, 60 µm, and 90 µm.
  • My fabric filters (for coarse filtration and high flow rates) consist of wire mesh with a support structure and can be multi-layered or pleated. Suitable for coarser filtration in the range of 40 µm, 140 µm, 230 µm, and 440 µm.
     

Features and Handling of Our Filters

Depending on the filter medium and filter fineness, our filter elements offer different characteristics in terms of flow rate, dirt-holding capacity, and service life. Both filter technologies enable a defined filter fineness and reliable particle retention.

Fabric filters are characterized by high flow rates, particularly at coarser filter finenesses. The robust wire mesh with a support structure enables reliable filtration.

Due to their porous structure, sintered filters have a higher dirt-holding capacity than fabric filters.

The actual service life depends in particular on the filter fineness, the cleanliness of the system, and the continuous inflow of contaminants from upstream components.
