Supralon™ : High efficiency lube and hydraulic Fluid Filter Elements
Supralon™ filter elements offers a Betax(c) ≥2000 rating for high-performance lube and filtration in hydraulic and lubrication fluids. These lube and hydraulic fluid filters are designed using stress and static charge resistant technology and act as replacement filters for Pall Ultipor® and Coralon® designs.
Features:
- Stress-resistant filter medium
- Asymmetric pack construction
- Beta ≥ 2000 rating for superior control of particulate contaminants
- CST filter rating for consistent performance throughout service life
- Standard anti-static design
Select the best filters for your applications with the help of the Supralon Crossover Tool.
Description
The Supralon filter elements provide 2X better particle removal efficiency compared to BX(c)≥1000 rated filters and 10X better efficiency than common BX(c)≥200 rated filters. They help reduce equipment maintenance and unscheduled downtime costs.
Why Choose Supralon Filter Elements for Hydraulic and Lubrication Fluids?
Next-generation filter design
Pall Supralon filter elements are designed for use in Pall Ultipor and other manufacturers' housings.
Asymmetric pack construction
- New upstream and downstream drainage mesh pairings
- Heavier weight filtration medium with fixed, tapered pore construction
- Optimized pleat heights and pleat counts
Beta ≥ 2000 rating
- Faster system clean-up rates
- Cleaner achieved system cleanliness levels
Stress-resistant filter medium
- Unparalleled fluid cleanliness consistency throughout the filter's service life
- Better performance in ‘real world’ conditions
- Heavyweight, tapered pore medium to enhance dirt holding capacity
- Small diameter inert, inorganic fibers in a fixed pore matrix to deliver high-efficiency performance
- Uniform filter medium control layer to ensure performance consistency
Redesigned filter medium support structure
- A unique pairing of up and downstream meshes and open high strength support material optimizes flow distribution for long life and enhanced gel resistance. It provides additional support during cold starts.
Proprietary outer helical wrap
- Elements are tightly spiral-wrapped with the wrap bonded to each pleat to ensure optimal pleat spacing and full medium utilization even under severe duty applications
Protecting the fluid, filter, and other components from static discharge
- Supralon filters incorporate a novel outer wrap, designed to minimize static charge build-up in the element
- Anti-static design dramatically reduces damaging static charge generation compared to conventional lube and hydraulic filter elements
- Static charge resistance is a standard feature included across the entire Supralon product range
Sustained system protection over the life of the filter
Protecting fluid systems relies on the filter's ability to maintain fluid cleanliness throughout its service life. Testing (SAE ARP4205) has shown that typical system stresses such as flow cycles and dirt loading can reduce a filter’s ability to maintain fluid cleanliness over time.
This graph shows that different manufacturers’ filters deliver good fluid cleanliness early in service life, but as time goes on, most have their ability to maintain fluid cleanliness drastically reduced. In contrast, Supralon filters incorporate stress-resistant technology, which enables them to produce sustained fluid cleanliness over the full life of the filter.
Product Highlights:
- Long service life
- Next-generation filter design
- Redesigned filter medium support structure
- Proprietary outer helical wrap
- Significantly fewer passes required to reach the target cleanliness level
