HYDAC Optimicron filter elements

Optimicron filter elements by HYDAC are optimised in terms of filtration efficiency and energy efficiency. The HELIOS filter mesh pack geometry contributes to a stabilisation of the pleats and an increased free flow surface. The main advantage is a better flow behaviour and hence a lower differential pressure.

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

The improved structure of the filter mesh pack and the interaction of up to seven filter layers lead to a strong decrease of the differential pressure. The upstream drainage layer for example – with asymmetric fibre strength as the first layer – causes a straightened fluid transport and in the same time a laminar and soft support of the other media. Also the next-to-last filter layer, the so-called integrated drainage layer, brings a straightened flow duct and prohibits impact loss, dead spots and swirls, which can occur when a single wire mesh builds the last layer.

Depending on the element size, up to 30% lower differential pressure can be achieved compared to Betamicron 4 filters. This lower differential pressure over a long element service life means energy and cost savings.

Optimicron filter elements are suitable for all industries where high filtration efficiency and cleanliness levels as well as energy cost savings and sustainable filtration are an important requirement.
