Metal Mesh MP Filtri: Surface Filtration Solutions
Metal Mesh MP Filtri filter elements represent a top-tier engineering solution for protecting hydraulic systems from solid particle contamination. Such solid particles are the primary cause of malfunctions and failures in hydraulic systems.
Operating Principle and Filtration
From a technical standpoint, metal mesh operates according to the principle of surface filtration, implementing a mechanical retention method that is extremely effective in removing contaminants. Through direct interception, the filter media physically prevent particles larger than the mesh pores from continuing their path within the hydraulic system.
Structural Features and Material Specifications
Filters belonging to Series N, Type M are designed to ensure optimal performance under industrial operating conditions. The nominal filtration rating of these mesh elements ranges from 25 μm to 250 μm. The primary feature of this construction type is its intrinsic ability to provide maximum mechanical resistance against differential pressure and in the presence of special fluids.
Within the architecture of the complete filter element (MYclean system), the metal mesh performs fundamental structural support and protection functions:
- External media protection: An external metal mesh is used as a protective barrier against flow rate and inlet pressure. This technical solution carefully preserves the integrity of the underlying pleated material.
- Internal anti-collapse support: An internal support metal mesh protects the filter media from differential pressure and absolutely prevents structural collapse. To adapt to different requirements, this mesh is available in two material variants: stainless steel and carbon steel with epoxy resin coating.
Applications in Hydraulic Systems
The metal mesh element supports a wide catalog of high-efficiency hydraulic filters for complex circuits:
- Suction filters: Compatible with series SFEX, STR, MPA, MPM, SF2 (250 – 350) and SF2 500.
- Return filters: Applicable within series RFEX, MPFX, MPLX, MPTX, MFBX, MPF, MPT, MFB, MPH – MPI, FRI and RF2.
- Spin-On filters: Usable in series MPS and MSH.
- Low and medium pressure filters: Supports series LFEX, LMP MULTIPORT (110-120-123), LMP variants (210-211, 400-401-430-431, 900-901, 902-903, 950-951, 952-953-954), LMD (211, 400-401-431, 951), LDP and LDD.
- High-pressure filters: Installable on series FMP 039, FMP, FHP, FMM, FHA 051, FHM, FHB, FHF 325 and FHD.
Compliance with ISO Standards
The design ensures that each filter element complies with hydraulic industry regulations. Observed standards include ISO 2941 for collapse/burst pressure verification, ISO 3724 for flow fatigue determination, and ISO 2943 for material compatibility verification with fluids.
