Your Equipment Shouldn’t Fail Because of an Inadequate Oil or Hydraulic Filter

Having the right filtration system is crucial when it comes to the smooth and efficient operation of your equipment. You shouldn’t have to worry about frequent breakdowns, increased maintenance costs, or compromised performance due to subpar oil or hydraulic filters. At Fluid Conditioning Products, we understand the frustrations that come with inadequate filtration, and that’s why we offer all-metal filters designed to surpass industry standards and meet the unique needs of various applications.

Our all-metal filters are meticulously engineered to provide superior performance and reliability. Unlike fiberglass filters that shed particles over time, our metal filters eliminate this risk, ensuring your equipment remains free from contaminants. With FCP’s all-metal filters, you can experience up to a 95% reduction in contamination, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and cutting costs. Imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing your machinery is protected by filters that don’t compromise on quality.

Published U.S. Army research documents exactly what metal fiber media delivers in a military hydraulic system. In a two-year study on 60 H-60 Black Hawk aircraft at Fort Rucker, Alabama, metal fiber media filter elements doubled MTBF for hydraulic pumps and primary servos, and increased SAS actuator MTBF by more than 50%. In AGPU applications, hydraulic fluid reached Class 0 cleanliness, a level the Army described as previously unheard of. The Army estimated fleet-wide savings of approximately $4 million per 100 flight hours and issued an Aviation Maintenance Action Message directing conversion of the full AH-64 Apache and H-60 Black Hawk fleets within three years. That’s what’s possible when your filtration system is built to perform at the level your platform demands.

Metal fiber media creates a stable pore structure that remains virtually unchanged for the full service life of the filter. It doesn’t shed or break down the way glass fiber media does, which means your system isn’t generating the very contamination it’s designed to prevent. In U.S. Army field research, metal fiber media filter elements delivered a documented reduction in hydraulic system failures across military rotary-wing platforms, with MTBF doubling for critical hydraulic components.
