Product Overview
What Are Replacement Filter Elements?
Using the highest quality microglass media in the industry, and built with state-of-the-art pleating machines, our cartridge-style filter elements meet or exceed stringent OEM material and performance specifications at an affordable price point. Our high-efficiency pleated microglass elements are rated Beta>1000 per ISO 16889, meaning they remove 99.9% of all particles in a given micron size and larger in multi-pass, enabling them to achieve very low particle counts to meet or exceed ISO 16/14/11 cleanliness levels. They are built in a wide range of sizes and end-cap configurations, and they represent the best value in the industry today.
Our complete offering of filter elements includes:
-
Absolute rated synthetic media (Beta>1000 per ISO 16889)
-
Nominally rated pleated cellulose
-
Nominally rated polyester felt bag filters
-
Water removal (adsorptive type)
-
Water removal (coalescer/separator)
-
Fuller's Earth (for acid removal)
-
Activated Alumina (for acid removal)
-
Granular adsorbent media (for varnish removal)
-

Description
Oil Filtration Systems microglass filter elements provide the highest degree of filtration efficiency for industrial, mobile, and process applications. Our filter elements are composed of microglass media, the most recent innovation in high-performance filtration technology. Microglass media is inert, inorganic, and far exceeds any paper or cellulose filter element performance. Water or chemicals, which cause softening, swelling, and degradation in conventional cellulose or pleated paper filters, do not affect microglass media.
Efficiency & Performance
Our pleated microglass filter elements have the highest efficiencies available on the market today. Built with very fine glass fibers, deep pleats, and the maximum number of tapered pores, our filter elements have the highest dirt-holding capacity and lowest clean initial pressure drops found in the industry. These advantages combine to deliver significantly extended element life and very low particle counts. Our filter elements are rated Beta>1000 per ISO 16889, meaning that 99.9% of all particles in a given micron size and larger are removed in one pass. They are available in a variety of micron size increments, including 1, 3, 6, 12, & 25 microns. Conventional cellulose or pleated paper filters typically remove only 50-70% of all particles in a single pass. Our Pleated Microglass Filter Elements provide greater value and significant cost savings in the long run over conventional cellulose or pleated paper filters due to far greater efficiency and extended life. Try our filters, and you will see higher performance and cost savings. We have an extensive manufacturers’ cross-reference listing for most OEM hydraulic and lube oil filter elements.

Acid Removal Filters
Oil Filtration Systems acid removal cartridges combine the highest quality of adsorbing materials integrated with innovative structural components. Our cartridges are field-proven and provide the highest degree of acid neutralization for a variety of applications. There are three types of cartridges available:
1.) Fuller's Earth is a special grade of clay mined from the earth, which adsorbs and neutralizes acid.
2.) Activated Alumina can remove more acid per pound and at a faster rate than Fuller's Earth. Activated Alumina has 3 to 5 times the acid-adsorbing capacity of Fuller's Earth. It is a special grade of aluminum powder that adsorbs and neutralizes acid.
3.) Selexsorb is a special grade of Activated Alumina which adsorbs and neutralizes acid. Selexsorb can remove more acid per pound and at a faster rate than Fuller's Earth, and has 3 to 5 times the acid-adsorbing capacity of Fuller's Earth. The primary advantage that Selexsorb has over Activated Alumina is that Selexsorb is more resistant to water adsorption. This is particularly advantageous when used with phosphate ester fire retardant fluids.
