What is filtration technology?

Filtration technology is the chemical or mechanical process of separating solids from liquids or gases. By passing a fluid through a porous medium, contaminants are trapped while the "filtrate" passes through. It ranges from simple straining to advanced membrane systems like reverse osmosis, ensuring purity in everything from industrial wastewater to bottled beverages.

How to solve the toughest industrial contamination challenges with advanced filtration technology?

Find all the solutions you need to filter and purify industrial liquids such as hydraulic and lubrication oils, heavy fuels, water, chemicals, coolants and other media from Hytec Fluid Technology. With leading comprehensive filtration technologies and experience, we will provide a filtration solution tailored to your specific requirements.

Our filtration technology helps you overcome the industry’s toughest contamination challenges so that your machine performs as efficiently as possible while reducing your operating costs.

Offering a broad selection of technologies from the world’s leading filtration OEMs, we meet the requirements of modern service and maintenance of machinery and equipment. Our extensive stockholding of filter elements, assemblies, fluid condition equipment and accessories optimises machine availability and fluid technology systems for plant operators.

Why is filtration technology important in hydraulic systems?

Filtration plays a crucial role in hydraulic systems as impurities can harm pumps, valves, cylinders, and seals. Maintaining clean hydraulic fluid enhances reliability, minimises wear, reduces maintenance costs, and helps prevent unexpected downtime.

Types of filtration technology from Bosch Rexroth Africa

Bosch Rexroth Africa offers a comprehensive range of filtration technologies designed for industrial, mobile, and process applications. Our specialised portfolio includes:

  • Industrial filter systems: engineered for high-performance hydraulic and lubrication systems.
  • Process filtration systems: designed for the removal of contaminants in fluid processing and chemical applications.
  • Mobile filtration: optimised for off-highway equipment and machinery in rugged environments.
  • Filtration electronics: advanced sensors and monitoring systems for real-time oil condition analysis.
  • Air filtration systems: high-efficiency solutions for maintaining air quality and protecting equipment.
  • Lubrication oil filtration: dedicated systems to extend component life and improve system reliability.

Key factors for selecting filter technology

To choose the right filtration system, you should evaluate the following criteria:

  • Type of fluid or air being filtered: determines material compatibility and media type.
  • Contamination levels: dictate the dirt-holding capacity required for the system.
  • Required cleanliness standards: define the micron rating or efficiency needed.
  • Flow rate: ensures the system can handle the volume without excessive pressure drop.
  • Operating pressure: confirms that the housing and elements can withstand system stress.
  • Temperature: influences the selection of seals, gaskets, and filter media.
  • Application environment: accounts for external factors like humidity, vibration, or corrosive surroundings.
