Oil filtration is essential for hydraulic systems

All hydraulic systems require effective hydraulic filters to clean the oil and remove particles and contaminants. Maintaining a high level of oil cleanliness extends oil life and is critical for protecting system components. Without adequate filtration, components such as pumps, motors, and hydraulic cartridge valves are at risk of clogging, seizing, or sustaining damage — which can result in unplanned downtime and high maintenance costs. Proper filtration increases component service life while reducing overall machine maintenance time.

Selecting the right hydraulic filter

Schroeder Industries offers filtration solutions for a wide range of applications and cleanliness requirements. Filter selection depends on the installation location within the hydraulic system and should consider several factors — including system pressure, target cleanliness level, flow capacity, acceptable pressure drop, and scheduled service intervals.
