High Pressure Hydraulic Oil Filter Replacement Elements – iProtect® EPF Series

EPF Series Replacement Elements are designed for high pressure inline hydraulic oil filtration. Available in single or double length configurations, with ratings down to 2 microns, the elements help protect critical engine components, such as valves, bearings, cylinders and pumps from contaminant ingress, which can lead to increased machine wear, shorter maintenance intervals, increased downtime, and higher costs. The elements are suitable for use in systems exposed to highly demanding environments, including those seen in construction, oil and gas, agriculture, and mining operations.

EPF Series Replacement Elements feature a patented eco-friendly design that allows for integration of the bypass valve and element core as reusable parts in the filter bowl. This results in reduced waste (by up to 50%) and lower disposal costs.The EPF Series is ideal for incorporating filters into manifold systems where no additional drillings are required for bypass valve installations.

Various options for filtration media are available depending on the unique requirements of customers’ systems, including microglass (QI), high-strength microglass (QIH), and microglass – reverse flow (QIR). Multiple filter housing sizes are also available depending on nominal flow and connection type.

EPF Series Filter Replacement Elements are compatible with a wide range of hydraulic fluids including:
• Hydraulic mineral oils H to class HLPD (DIN51524)
• Operating fluids DIN ISO 2943
• Lubrication fluids ISO6743, APJ, DIN 51517, ACEA, ASTM  
• Vegetable oils
• 60/40 Water glycols
• On request – Industrial grade phosphate esters
• Non-aggressive synthetic oils
• Non-aggressive bio-degradable oils (HETG, HEPG and HEES to VDMA 24568)
