Description
Overview of Portable Filtration Systems
Stauff portable filter carts, including the SCFC and SPFC series models, represent complete and efficient solutions for fluid contamination control. These units are specifically designed for off-line (bypass) filtration applications, as well as for filling or draining reservoirs and transferring hydraulic fluids. The system’s versatility enables multi-stage filtration, significantly extending the service life of the filter elements.
Technical Features of the SCFC-05/10 Series
The SCFC-05/10 model stands out as an extremely lightweight and compact cart, ideal for most maintenance departments.
- Flexible Configuration: The cart can be assembled with a single or double filter head, providing operational flexibility depending on application requirements.
- Flow Performance: The unit delivers flow capacities of 19 l/min (5 GPM) or 38 l/min (10 GPM).
- Drive System: Equipped with a 1 HP electric motor, available in single-phase or three-phase versions, protected by a thermal overload relay.
- Structure: The welded frame ensures robustness while maintaining a low weight of 52 kg (115 lbs).
- Control and Safety: Includes On/Off push buttons, visual clogging indicators, and a filter head with an integrated bypass valve.
SPFC-10 Variant and Advanced Monitoring
For applications requiring higher capacity, the range includes the SPFC-10 model. This unit is supplied as standard with a 125 µm suction element and two double heads, maximizing the filtration capacity of the cart.
- Heavy-Duty Equipment: Features a robust welded frame complete with a drip tray and tool tray.
- Flow Management: Integrates a 3-way ball valve for filter bypass and handles a flow rate of 38 l/min.
- Condition Monitoring: Also available in a “Condition and Monitoring” configuration, incorporating the Stauff LPM-II particle monitor for accurate control of fluid cleanliness.
Filter Element Specifications and Fluids
Both units (SCFC-05/10 Filtration Systems and SPFC) use spin-on elements for quick and easy replacement. Filter elements are available with filtration ratings of 3, 6, 12, and 25 µm, as well as water-absorbing elements. The systems are designed for mineral oil-based fluids with a viscosity range between 10 and 150 mm²/sec (cSt).
