Use cases & applications
Continuous-Duty Hydraulic Systems
In operations where hydraulic equipment runs for extended periods, the 12 µm inorganic microfibre media provides consistent filtration without clogging prematurely, reducing maintenance intervals and downtime.
Dusty Construction Environments
When used on Caterpillar machinery in dusty job sites, this filter's high dirt-holding capacity helps protect sensitive hydraulic components from abrasive particles, extending component life.
Fleet Maintenance Consolidation
For workshops servicing multiple brands like Volvo, Haulotte, and Metso Lindemann, stocking one aftermarket filter that replaces many OEM numbers simplifies inventory and reduces costs.
Cold-Start Applications
The 2 bar bypass valve ensures oil flow even during cold starts when viscosity is high, preventing filter bypass and maintaining filtration until operating temperature is reached.
