Hydac Optimicron filter elements

The Optimicron filter elements by Hydac offer a combination of good filtration efficiency and pressure drop. The technology provides a highly positive impact on differential pressure of the elements.

The filter mesh pack geometry HELIOS contributes to a stabilisation of the pleats and an increased free-flow surface. This is said to result in better flow behaviour and hence a lower differential pressure.

The high-performance micro glass media, as the core of the filter element, offers good separation efficiency and low differential pressure over the entire element service life. They are available in 1 and 15 μm.

Depending on the element size, up to 30% lower differential pressure (compared to the Betamicron 4) can be achieved through the interaction of the integrated innovations: HELIOS-pleat geometry, optimised filter media and a drainage layer. The outer wrap is said to feature increased robustness and an improved diffusor effect, thus achieving homogeneous upstream flow of the filter mesh pack.

The filter elements are suitable for all industries where filtration efficiency, high levels of cleanliness, significant energy savings and sustainable filtration play an important role.
