Argo Hytos EXAPOR MAX 2 Series Hydraulic Filter Element
Higher machine availability, longer service intervals and lower operating costs. These were the development goals of the new system. production of filter elements. With the launch of EXAPOR®MAX 2, ARGO-HYTOS opens a new page in filtration for hydraulic and lubrication systems. The structure of the specially developed 3-layer filter material is designed for optimum performance using glass and polyester fibers of different fineness combined with a hybrid backing fabric (patented) developed from stainless steel and polyester. This sets the standard for:
> Pressure drop
› Dirt holding capacity
› Flow fatigue stability The plastic sheath used for the first time on the EXAPOR®MAX 2 offers the following benefits:
› Private label
› Protection against damage
› Improvement of flow fatigue stability For the user, these improvements provide:
› Extended service intervals
› Higher operational reliability
› Improved oil cleanliness
› Increased performance
› Positive element identification
› Reduced operating and maintenance costs
Extended Service Intervals on the Hydraulic Filter Element
Higher dirt holding capacity and improved flow fatigue stability are particularly important in achieving extended service ranges. The new performance-oriented structure of the filter material makes a significant contribution to improving dirt holding capacity, reducing pressure losses and improving differential pressure stability. Enhanced hybrid support fabric (patented) dissipates electrostatic charge, providing the best possible bending strength while reducing pressure losses. The plastic sleeve shrunk allows it to fit tightly to the filter bellow core, which has a positive effect on the flow fatigue stability. These make significant contributions to increasing improvements. the life of the filter elements. Higher operational reliability When used on existing machines with fixed service intervals, EXAPOR®MAX 2 filter elements provide greater operating reliability, minimizing the risk of sudden machine downtime. time-consuming and expensive maintenance work as well as reducing downtime caused by failures. Improved oil cleaning A high degree of oil cleaning has a positive effect on both oils. the life of the components and the hydraulic medium itself. Meet rising standards, in the new generation filter elements the filter fineness has been increased to 10 µm(c) compared to 12 µm(c) previously. EXAPOR®MAX 2 filter elements are available in filter finenesses of 5 µm(c), 10 µm(c) and 16 µm(c). Positive identification of elements The plastic sleeve used on the EXAPOR®MAX 2 filter elements can be printed as required. This is an important feature for significantly positive identification and creation and securing of a spares business.
Increased Performance in the Hydraulic Filter Element
The factors affecting the pressure loss can be solved with the help of calculations and flow simulations and the structure of the filter material is optimized accordingly. Result Up to 50% reduction in pressure losses in the pleat and further reduction of up to 40% in the filter element. Conversely, this means: EXAPOR®MAX 2 filter elements constant pressure loss
Get up to 65% higher flow rate. Reduction in pressure losses combined with significantly improved dirt retention capacity leads to an increase in power density, so smaller filters can be used depending on the application.
Argo Hytos EXAPOR AQUA Series Hydraulic Filter Element
Practical and effective method for separating water from hydraulic oil. Water in hydraulic and lubricating oils can have:
Causes of Water Mixing into Hydraulic Oil
› Coolant breakage
› Ambient humidity
› Spray water
› Fresh oil
A small amount of free water already in the oil can lead to acidification. As a result, corrosion of surfaces on components can occur. Due to free water, oil properties change, e.g. reduced load carrying capacity, reduced temperature resistance. In order to avoid economic damage, free water of oil or available water should be drawn as soon as possible.
possible. Oil change, flushing and large volumes of water can be withdrawn with system or dewatering units. In systems with hygroscopic oils (water absorbing materials)
defined as hygroscopic) or by means of seals with a permanent water inlet (e.g. hydraulic excavator used in water constructions), filter units with ARGO-HYTOS offline filters and EXAPOR®AQUA filter elements can be permanently installed in the system, to order to draw water. To withdraw the remaining amounts of water, eg. After fresh filling, the elements in ARGO-HYTOS EXAPOR®AQUA portable offline filter units can also be used during: operation of the system.
EXAPOR®AQUA filter elements can be applied in different ways. ARGO-HYTOS filter units. Depending on the operating condition, the water absorption is approx. 350 ml / element.
The combination of water-absorbing filter layers with micro-filter material as well as EXAPOR®AQUA's lubrication systems with high requirements for hydraulic and oil cleanliness. The efficiency of EXAPOR®AQUA filter elements has been analyzed in situ. The lower oil, water content is unacceptably high in most cases, as long as a turbidity appears in the refrigerated medium. If the chilled oil sample appears clear, the water content is usually within the allowable range. An exact measurement of water content is made by oil sample analysis. laboratory (eg water content regulation with Karl Fischer) method according to DIN 51777).
