Product Overview
What Is A Portable Filter Cart?
A Portable Filter Cart is a portable, kidney-loop filtration system designed primarily to remove particulate contamination from a wide range of hydraulic, lubrication, and fuel oils. Utilizing high-efficiency pleated microglass filter elements rated Beta>1000 per ISO 16889, they can deliver very low ISO cleanliness levels to meet or exceed even the most stringent OEM specifications.
-
Versatile - various sizes and configurations available for optimal performance with a wide range of oil viscosities (ISO VG 32 – ISO VG 1000)
-
Effective - high-efficiency pleated microglass filter elements rated Beta>1000 enable you to meet or exceed ISO 16/14/11 cleanliness levels
-
Easy to use - user-friendly features include differential pressure gauges and oil sample ports
-
Durable - heavy-duty welded steel frame with spill containment pan and solid rubber wheels – built for reliable performance in rugged environments
