Sneha Agarwal, Marketing Manager at Filtrec Bharat Manufacturing India Pvt. Ltd., talks about their new FILTREC Technology for filter elements that comes from three decades of experience in filter element construction.

Please comment on Filtrec’s hydraulic filter range for contamination control.
Filtrec Bharat offers several different micron ratings in fibreglass media, which are 1–3–5–10–15–20–25 microns. Very high performance in terms of efficiency (βeta Ratio > 1.000) means the stable performance of fluid cleaning for the life period of the element and enhanced contamination control.

Our primary product range includes return line filters, high-pressure filters, and suction filters for industrial applications.

Fighting rust and corrosion
We go for surface treatments of metal tubes. And we perform zinc plating, nickel plating, and tin plating for the end caps, to assure rust and corrosion resistance in the filter line.

Certification and standards
Innovation and R&D is a critical factor for Filtrec as it enables us to maintain stringent quality norms. We also adhere to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 accreditation, as well as the RoHS Declaration and REACH Certification.

Increasing efficiency and life expectancy of industrial filters
R&D plays a key role in our organisation and is supported by a fully equipped  lab with the test rigs required to meet  the latest international specifications. The department is run by a team of  experienced and enthusiastic engineers who are also active members of the ISO filtration committee. Its focus is on developing and testing new ideas to always remain a step ahead with our media and filter performance, allowing us to convert our customers’ requirements into innovative solutions.

The New FILTREC Technology
The new FILTREC Technology for filter elements comes from three decades of experience in filter element construction. Steady, enthusiastic R&D activity, and paying close attention to customers’ requirements and feedback  help us remain close to our customers. A tailored combination of materials has been custom designed for each filter element family to perform at the highest possible level.

This new media pack configuration gives an extraordinary performance, both in terms of the life cycle and mainly in terms of filtration efficiency. All of the performed tests with Δbsolute-βeta media pack conformed to a very low pressure drop, which now enables us to select a smaller filter for the same application. Research, Development, and Innovation allow us to use several media layer combinations, which result in a pleated shape that gives the element maximum performance.
