In-line Microfiber Filter Elements MP Filtri: Solutions for Low and Medium Pressure

The In-line Microfiber Filter Elements MP Filtri represent the core of protection for hydraulic circuits operating at low and medium pressure. Specifically designed for in-line installation, these filters operate according to the principle of depth filtration, a technology based on the geometric overlapping of inorganic fibers. This structure creates complex pathways of various shapes and sizes, allowing contaminant particles to be trapped within openings smaller than their own diameter.

Structural Configuration and Series N Type A

The standard configuration for in-line installation is identified as Series N, Type A. The microfiber filter media is constructed by overlapping at least five distinct layers. Compared to other configurations, the in-line series stands out for the use of support materials with significantly higher mechanical resistance. This engineering choice enables the elements to maintain structural integrity, ensuring resistance to differential pressure (ΔP) up to 20 bar, equivalent to 290 psi. A specific variant also exists for FEX filters, which uses the Series N calibrated at 8 bar instead of the standard N configuration rated at 10 bar.

Applications of In-line Filters

Applications of In-line Microfiber Filter Elements MP Filtri cover various system requirements, including:

• In-line return filters: specific for the RFEX series.
• In-line return and suction filters: applicable to the LMP 124 MULTIPORT model.
• Low and medium pressure filters: an extensive range including LFEX families, LMP (models MULTIPORT 110-120-123, 210-211, 400-401-430-431, 900-901, 902-903, 950-951 and 952-953-954), LMD (models 211, 400-401-431 and 951) and LDP and LDD series.

Water Removal Technology (Series N, Type WA)

For systems requiring strict control of water contamination, the Series N, Type WA (Water Removal) configuration is available. This construction type combines the traditional microfiber filtration layers with an additional special layer made of active polymers. These polymers are formulated to absorb free water present in hydraulic oils. The result is a single configuration capable of simultaneously providing solid contaminant filtration and water retention. This configuration is compatible with low and medium pressure filters such as LFEX, various LMP models (e.g., 210-211, 400-401-430-431, 900-901), LMD, LDP and LDD.

Performance and Reference Standards

The inorganic microfiber used in these elements ensures excellent performance in compliance with stringent hydraulic industry standards. Filtration efficiency and contaminant retention capacity are regulated by the ISO 16889 Multi-pass test, which certifies absolute filtration standards for microfiber with a β ratio > 1000.
