Filters for efficient media cleaning

In industrial lubrication technology and automated dispensing processes, the purity of the medium is a critical variable for process reliability. Contamination in the lubricant – whether from particles in the container or abrasion within the system – leads to abrasive wear on pump pistons, valve seats, and dispensing elements. Industrial filter elements serve as a safety barrier to reliably separate foreign bodies and extend the service life of the entire tribological chain.

Even the smallest contaminants in the micrometer range can cause significant damage in high-pressure systems (up to 700 bar). Particles impair the precise seat sealing of valves and lead to inaccurate dispensing results or creeping pressure loss. The use of specialized filter units ensures constant media quality, which is essential, particularly when processing high-viscosity greases and oils in automated production lines.
 

Product Specification: Magnetic Filters

These filter units are specifically designed for the separation of ferromagnetic particles from the media flow. The integrated magnetic core captures metallic debris that can occur during operation in mechanical systems. Magnetic filters are characterized by low flow resistance and can be easily disassembled for cleaning purposes. Their use effectively protects sensitive dispensing needles and valves from mechanical blockage and premature wear.

• Pressure Resistance: 
  The filter housings are validated for use in high-pressure systems and ensure absolute leak-tightness under both static and dynamic loads.
• Ease of Maintenance: 
  The design allows for rapid inspection and cleaning of the filter elements, minimizing downtime during maintenance work.
• Chemical Resistance: 
  Use of materials and seals (e.g., FKM or NBR) that are resistant to aggressive additives in modern industrial lubricants.
• Flow Optimization: 
  The internal geometry is designed for minimal pressure loss to ensure that the delivery performance of the pumps is not negatively affected.

The use of ABNOX filters is a preventive measure to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Continuous cleaning of the medium prevents unplanned system failures and expensive repairs to main components. Integrating a filter into the supply circuit ensures the repeatability of dispensing processes and guarantees a constant application pattern over long operating periods. Consequently, filter elements form the technological basis for a clean and economical lubricant circuit.
