Change-Over Inline Filter
PRFLD
To avoid shutting down the system
when changing the element,
change-over filters provide the solution,
whereby one housing is filtering
and the other is in reserve.
The change-over occurs by means
of a ball valve or butterfly valve
with hand-wheel.
The special design of the change-over
device prevents both sides being
shut-off at the same time.
The filter housing can be fitted with
slotted tubes or filter candles in wire
mesh or Betamicron

inorganic
mesh packs.
Inline Filter PRFL
Comprehensive inline filter range for
flow rates up to 25,000 l/min. Housing
material: spheroidal cast iron EN JS
1,030 or carbon steel 1.0038 or totally
in stainless steel. Flange connections
from DN 50 and above. The pressure
range, depending on the size is PN 25
or PN 16 bar. The elements are as
for the PRFLD series.
HYDAC inline filters are designed
for the toughest applications
in process technology.
They separate solid particles
of all types very effectively.
Numerous designs and filter materials
enable optimal adaptation
to the filtration application
and the process conditions
which are present.
We manufacture quality-tested single
and duplex filters in stainless steel and
corrosion-protected steel.
Special materials and special coatings
can be used on request.
Models with vertical filter elements
or suspended contamination
retainers are also available
as options.

Screen Basket Filter
PRFS / PRFSD:
Simple Change-Over Filter
Screen basket filters are used mainly
as coarse filters or preliminary filters.
In contrast to the inline filters PRFL
and PRFLD, flow through the filter
element is from in to out.
The separated contamination stays
in the stainless steel basket
and can be disposed of quickly
and easily. Nominal sizes available
from DN 50 and above.
Materials: Carbon steel 1.0038 or
stainless steel 1.4571 (316 Ti)
Inline Filter
PRFLK / PRFLKD
with Coiled Candles:
Simple Change-Over Filter
By using coiled filter candles in
polypropylene or polyester, a very high
contamination retention capacity is
achieved. For continuous processes,
each size is also available as a duplex
filter. Filter areas, pressure drops and
service life can be optimized for the
greatest economy, owing to numerous
housing sizes and nominal widths
from DN 50 and above.
Original HYDAC Accessories
for Safe, Long-Term
Operation
To monitor contamination in the filter
elements we provide visual and
visual-electrical clogging indicators
for all inline filters. All indicators work
on the principle of differential pressure
measurement and are self-setting.
Accessories which have been specially
developed for our filters, such as
seal kits, cover plate lifting devices,
vent valves and drain valves,
simplify operation and ensure
a long service life.
Filters for Hydraulics
and Lubrication
HYDAC offers a comprehensive filter
range, specially coordinated
for hydraulics and lubrication in
construction, size and pressure range
and with elements to suit various
operating fluids.
The core of a filter is the filter element.
This is where the results
of many years research and
development are best demonstrated.
A wide range of filter materials and
element designs can be used to solve
the widest variety of filtration tasks.
Most of the filter materials can be
cleaned which eliminates
the substantial costs of re-purchase
and disposal.
Chemicron

Metal Fibre
Chemicron

is a cleanable, metal fibre,

deep filter medium which has high
contamination retention capacity
and excellent retention rates due
to its three-dimensional structure.
It also has excellent fluid and
temperature resistance up to 400 C
due to the austenitic material,
1.4404 (316 L).
Filtration ratings available:
1; 3; 5; 10; 20; 25; 30; 40; 60; 100 m
(absolute)
Slotted Tube
Slotted tubes consist of profiled wire
which is welded around a support
section. The filtration rating is determined
by the distance between the wires.
Their extremely robust construction
means that slotted tubes can be cleaned
as often as required.
Material: 1.4435 (316 L)
Filtration ratings available:
50; 100; 150; 200; 300; 500; 1,000;
2,000; 3,000
Wire Mesh
Re-usable, cleanable filter mesh pack.
Material: 1.4401 (316)
Filtration ratings available:
25; 40; 60; 100; 150; 200;
250; 500 m
Stainless Steel
Screen Baskets
Our screen baskets are ideal for long-
term operation due to their robust design.
Once the contamination has been
removed and the basket has been briefly
high pressure cleaned, the screen
basket is ready to use again.
The stainless steel baskets can be
purchased as slotted tube and perforated
plate versions.
Filtration ratings available:
Slotted tube 50, 100, 150, 200, 300,
500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 m

Filter Elemen
Betamicron

Inorganic Mesh Packs

This disposable filter material has an
excellent contamination retention
capacity at low purchase costs.
Filtration ratings available:
3; 5; 10; 20 m (absolute)

Coiled Filter Candles
in Polypropylene
or Polyester
This deep filter material consists
of 100 % meltblown polyester (PBT)
or polypropylene (PP) fibre in a variety
of thicknesses and porosities.
A special winding technique produces
an asymmetric deep filter matrix where
the fibre layers become finer in
the direction of filtration. This makes
possible an extremely high
contamination retention capacity
with low pressure drop.
Filtration ratings available:
1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 70, 90,
100, 120, 150 m (absolute)
Maximum operating temperature:
80 C for polypropylene elements
100 C for polyester elements
Defining
Filtration Efficiency
In order to be able to compare the
different filter materials in filtration
technology, the separation rate
x
has
been defined. This value indicates
the ratio of quantities of particles above
a certain size before and after the filter
element.
High Quality as Standard
Quality takes priority at HYDAC,
and is guaranteed by permanent
monitoring during the manufacturing
process and systematic laboratory tests.
In addition to numerous international
approvals and registrations, HYDAC
quality management is certified
according to DIN EN ISO 9001 your
guarantee of the consistently high
quality level of our products.
Rigorous goods-in inspection ensures that
only perfect materials are used in
production.
ents. Elementary and Individual.
Standardised test procedures for our filter
elements ensure consistently high
filtration efficiency. The separation rate
and contamination retention capacity
is tested on our multi-pass test rig.

x
=
number of particles > x m before the filter
number of particles > x m after the filter
x = particle size in m
Absolute Filtration Rating
for Betamicron

inorganic mesh packs,
coiled candles and Chemicron
metal fibre
A
x
value of 100 (
x
= 100) corresponds
to a separation rate of 99 %. During this
test the filter must retain at least 99 %
of the particles larger than the stated
micron rating and up to a given
differential pressure. This denotes
absolute filtration.
The rates given in the brochure are
determined by the multi-pass test,
carried out on the HYDAC test rig, in
line with ISO 4572 (Multi-pass test for
the determination and proof of the
filtration performance, extended to finest
filtration).
Nominal Filtration Rating
for wire mesh and slotted tubes
No
x
values have been determined for
these elements. The mesh width or slot
width of the filter material concerned is
given as the filtration rating.
