Depth elements are used in low flow filtration systems such as applications containing soft contaminants, sludge, slime, or waxes. Fluitek depth elements are most commonly used to clean or recycle hydraulic oil, compressor oil, gear oil, quench oil, or various other fluids with off-line or side-stream kidney loop systems.

This series of elements is available in several different sizes and forms. There are a lot of different options of medias including cellulose and synthetic fiber blended medias. Fluitek depth filters are available in an efficiency range from 1 – 150 micron and up to a 350°F max temperature rating. The prime advantages of depth filtration elements are high dirt holding capacity, long filtration cycles, and high retention of small particulate in polishing applications.

• Axial flow between layers of media

• Creped cellulose with interlocking layers to remove solids efficiently

• High efficiency filtration with low micron levels (<1 micron)

• Performance: B<3(c)=1000, B<7(c)=1000, B<15(c)=1000 (Per ISO16889)

• Micron ratings: 3-micron, 7-micorn, and 15-micron sizes

• Very high solid holding capacity= 8-10 lbs per filter

• Removes bacteria, algae, microbes, dirt, rust, and other solids

• Can achieve very low ISO cleanliness levels

• High water holding capacity up to 1 gallon per filter

• Will absorb free and emulsified water

• Can maintain water levels to below 50ppm

• Water efficiency 99.90%

• Inexpensive high quality product

• Long filter life: will last many times longer than conventional pleated paper filters

• Most conventional filters will not remove water
