Trubind 700 absorbent cartridges
Parker Filtration has introduced Trubind 700 - which removes free, emulsified and dissolved oils in many process fluids
The new filters are ideal for use in a wide variety of applications, such as commercial and agricultural vehicles, construction equipment and materials handling and waste management plant.
The new AGB-2-400 and AGB-2-500 filters have nominal flow capacities of 400 and 500 l/min respectively, and form part of the IN-AGB 2 series of Low Environmental Impact Filters (LEIFs).
These filters offer significantly higher flow rates than competing products, enabling the operating life of each filter to be dramatically extended, while reducing the costs of purchasing replacement filters, disposal and the downtime incurred while filters are changed.
In addition, Parker LEIF filters have a reusable element sleeve, so that only the expired filter inserts need to disposed of, rather than the entire filter.
Depending on the application, this can reduce replacement costs by up to 50%.
LEIF filters also feature patented elements, with a guaranteed quality of filtration or particulate removal, and meet ISO 14001 standards.
Parker has also introduced an addition to the IN-AGB 4 Series, the IN-AGB-4-2400, with flow rates that have been increased from 2000l/min to 2400l/min.
The IN-AGB-4-2400 features an optimised design of pleat packing that allows customers to take advantage of the greater flow capacity filters without changing the sise of the insert.
As a result, the IN-AGB-4-200 filters can be used in applications where space is at a premium.
All Parker IN-AGB filters are high performance return line filters with Microglass III filter media and bypass construction with low hysteresis, magnetic pre-filtration and a high dirt-holding capacity.
Marco van Boven, Product Manager for Low Pressure Filters, said: "The new filters will help customers improve the performance and reliability of their hydraulic systems".
"In particular, the IN-AGB filters can significantly extend operating life, increase flow capacity and reduce lifetime costs, while helping to reduce environmental damage by minimising the disposal of elements". Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin - Filter Division ...
