Stop Guessing - Start Choosing the Right Filter Cart
No engineering degree required! This straightforward guide helps you pick the right mobile filtration unit to save money and protect your equipment.
Choosing the wrong mobile filtration unit can waste your money and leave your equipment unprotected. But you don't need to be a filtration expert to make the right choice. Follow these 5 simple steps to find the perfect unit for your needs.
1. Know Your Fluid and Equipment
Starting with the basics: What liquid do you need to filter using a mobile filtration system? What equipment does it need to protect?
Quick Tip: Just tell us your equipment type (hydraulic system, gearbox, turbine, etc.) and we'll recommend the right solution.
| Application | Recommended Solution | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Systems | Fine filtration cart | Protects sensitive components |
| Lube Oil Systems | Oil purification unit | Extends bearing life |
| Process Fluids | General oil filter cart | Maintains quality |
2. Match the Unit to Your System Size
Choose the right capacity for your filtration equipment:
| System Size | Recommended Cart Size | Filtration Time |
|---|---|---|
| Small (under 50 gallons) | 5-10 GPM unit | 2-4 hours |
| Medium (50-200 gallons) | 10-20 GPM unit | 4-8 hours |
| Large (200+ gallons) | 20+ GPM unit | 8+ hours or multiple units |
3. Consider Where You'll Use It
Environment matters: Where will the filter cart be used?
- Shop floors: Standard electric filtration units with easy mobility
- Hazardous areas: Explosion-proof filter carts for safe operation
- Remote locations: Air-operated filtration systems or battery power
- Multiple machines: Portable design with quick-connect fittings
- Limited space: Compact filtration equipment with small footprint
4. Select Appropriate Filtration Level and Technology
Choose the right filtration technology for your contamination control needs:
| Contamination Level | Recommended Filtration Method | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Light particulate | Depth filtration media | General equipment protection |
| Fine particles | Absolute rated filters | High-pressure hydraulic systems |
| Water contamination | Coalescing separation | Lube oil and hydraulic systems |
| Multiple contaminants | Multi-stage filtration | Critical process systems |
5. Consider Extra Features That Save Time and Money
Smart upgrades: These features can make maintenance easier and more effective
- Water removal: Essential if water contamination is a problem
- Easy-wheel design: Makes moving between machines simple
- Quick-connect fittings: Saves setup time
- Clear pressure gauges: Shows when filters need changing
