We hate to break it to you. If you are still relying on legacy filtration materials like cellulose or fiberglass/glass fiber—especially in crucial aviation applications, such as hydraulic filtration—you’re not getting the performance your equipment needs to operate at its best.
But not to worry. All-metal filters can offer much-improved filtration efficiency, and they also excel in several other essential performance measurements for filtration—whether they are used in gas, liquid, or air filtering. The best news? At Fluid Conditioning Products, we can help you make the critical switch to metal filters.
SO, WHY ARE METAL FILTERS BETTER?
Metal filters remarkably reduce maintenance times by as much as 10x! This considerable reduction in maintenance time presents considerable cost savings, too. Testing has shown that all-metal filters reduce contamination by as much as 95%.
Woven metal mesh filters and various sintered metal filter media have all been “real-life tested” in commercial and military aviation applications to see how each compared to fiberglass. And the bottom line is that metal filters outperform their traditional counterparts. It’s becoming clear that all-metal filters should be considered the standard in the aerospace and defense industries going forward.
WANT TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF YOUR HYDRAULIC FILTERS?
Then give metal filters a try. Metal fiber media has absolute filter ratings as low as 3 microns and does not break or shed like traditional glass fiber media.
WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR FAILURE RATES DRAMATICALLY?
Data from a 36,000-hour test on 120 helicopters have shown when comparing the number of equipment failures in the hydraulic pump, primary servo, SAS actuators, and the tail rotor servo. Failure rates dropped by between 88%-92% with all-metal filters—across the board!
LOOKING FOR COST SAVINGS?
All-metal filters present many cost-saving opportunities related to hydraulic systems maintenance. From hydraulic, lube, air, and oil filtration to fuel tank inerting and APU Sound reduction and beyond—there are up to hundreds of applications for filter elements in commercial aircraft.
