FPA UFI
The FPA UFI delivery air filter is a compact in-line solution designed for medium-pressure filtration in hydraulic circuits. Built with an anodized aluminum alloy housing and a brass bypass valve, it supports a maximum operating pressure of 11 MPa (110 bar). It ensures flow rates up to 60 l/min and is compatible with standard hydraulic fluids. Thanks to FormulaUFI filter elements, it provides effective protection of sensitive components over a temperature range from -25°C to +110°C.
The FPA series by UFI Filters offers an efficient solution for delivery filtration (“Medium pressure inline filter”) in systems operating at medium pressures. These filters are designed to be installed directly in the line, protecting valves and sensitive components from solid contamination and ensuring long service life of the hydraulic system.
The structure of the FPA filter is engineered to combine light weight and mechanical strength:
The series uses filter elements from the EPA family, characterized by a high differential collapse resistance of 8 MPa (80 bar). Different filter media technologies are available to meet specific application requirements:
The FPA UFI delivery air filters offer ideal specifications for auxiliary and pilot circuits:
The filters are available with 1/2″ threaded connections in BSP, NPT, and SAE versions. Maintenance is facilitated by the possibility of installing differential clogging indicators (visual, electrical, or electronic) to monitor the condition of the filter element.
