What is a suction filter?
Suction filter is a component of the hydraulic system that helps remove contaminants from the oil before it enters the system. It is usually installed at the suction inlet of the pump and connected to the suction line leading to the pump.
What does a suction filter do?
The main purpose of the suction filter is to capture and remove impurities from the hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluids can easily become contaminated, mainly due to the lack of initial cleaning. As a result, oil contamination is common after the installation of new equipment.
With the suction filter element, the system is kept clean and free of debris, and the pump and motor can operate at an optimal level, reducing wear and improving performance.
What are the advantages of suction filter?
- Effectively prevent pollutants from entering the hydraulic system
By filtering out particles such as dirt, rust, and debris, the suction filter element protects system components from unnecessary wear and tear. This, in turn, reduces system failures and repairs, which in turn reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
- Help maintain system efficiency by reducing pressure drop
When contaminants build up in a system, they can form blockages, impede fluid flow and cause pressure drops. This can lead to reduced system performance, increased energy consumption, and increased operating costs. Suction filter helps avoid these problems because it removes contaminants before they cause clogging and pressure drops.
- Improve the overall reliability of the hydraulic system
By preventing contaminants from entering the system, the suction filter element helps extend the life of the system components. This reduces the risk of system failure and improves overall reliability.
- Helps to reduce maintenance costs
By protecting the components of the system from contamination and wear and tear, you can help extend the life of those components and reduce the need for repair and replacement. This can result in significant cost savings over the life of the hydraulic system.
