Betamicron® 3 Plus Filter MediaPerformance Plus New generation Betamicron® 3 Plus elements provide unmatched cleaning efficiency and dirt-holding capacity in the most demanding hydraulic and lubrication systems. Based on results of an extensive multipass testing program, the Betamicron® 3 Plus performance far exceeds that of other widely used absolute-rated elements. Industry standard tests were conducted on Betamicron® 3 Plus elements and randomly selected elements of like-size produced by five leading manufacturers. Comparative performance was based upon three key factors:
Betamicron® 3 Plus media elements offer maximum protection to critical hydraulic and lubrication system components. Efficient and reliable, these technologically advanced elements remove an extremely high percentage of damaging particles from all commonly used fluids. By effectively eliminating contaminants that cause premature component wear and equipment failure, Betamicron® 3 Plus elements provide the fluid cleanliness levels to protect your system investment over its total life. Resulting Benefits
Superior performance depends on both design of the media and quality of element construction. Two layers of active media - a pre-filter and final filter layer - optimize filtration of coarse and fine particles, providing maximum efficiency and dirt-holding capacity. Multiple resilient support layers maintain the stability of media and pleating despite flow surges and pressure fluctuations, ensuring that the performance of Betamicron® 3 Plus elements exceptionally high in the most dynamic systems. A special universal epoxy, compatible with all commonly used hydraulic fluids, bonds and seals element components to provide excellent structural integrity and reliability. Key Features

Betamicron® BH3HC elements have a 3000 psid collapse pressure. Betamicron® BN3HC elements have a 250 psid collapse pressure. Disposable Betamicron® elements are available in absolute rating of 2, 5, 10, and 20 microns. Cleanable Metal Fiber (V) stainless steel fleece elements have a 3000 psid collapse pressure and nominal filtration ratings of 3, 5, 10, and 20 microns. Cleanable Wire Screen (W/HC) elements have a 250 psid collapse pressure and nominal filtration ratings of 25, 75, and 149 microns.For non-bypass applications, Betamicron® BH3HC or Metal Fiber (V) elements must be installed. If a bypass valve is used, Betamicron® (BN3HC) or Wire Screen (W/HC) elements can be installed. All filter media is supported to achieve flow fatigue resistance. Proper support of the filter media also provides high Beta Ratio values (particle removal efficiency) even at high differential pressures. The efficiency of many competitive elements drastically deteriorates as the element clogs and differential pressure increases. High quality epoxy adhesive is used to bond the end caps to the media and to bond the seam of the media. Series D Specifications |

HYDAC Aquamicron® Water Removal Filter ElementsHOW WATER DAMAGESThe presence of water in hydraulic systems cause many problems. For example, the saturation of very fine filters or jamming of valves. These problems are often wrongly attributed to high levels of particle contamination. Added to this, the build-up of rust and the reduction in lubricating properties on bearings and slides can lead to considerable impairment in the effective functioning of a system. This goes to show that water, too, represents a serious "contaminant" in a hydraulic system. Previously, methods commonly used for extraction of water, have, on the whole, proven to be uneconomical in relation to the purchase price of a system. The HYDAC Aquamicron® technique offers an economically sound and yet an effective method of separating water from hydraulic media. DESCRIPTION Aquamicron® filter elements are specially designed to separate water from mineral oils. They are only supplied in the dimensions of HYDAC return line filter elements from size 330 and larger. This means that they can be installed in all HYDAC filter housings from size 330 which are fitted with return line filter elements. The increasing pressure loss in a filter element which is being saturated with water indicates, by means of standard clogging indicators, that it is time to change the element. When the Aquamicron® technique is employed, particle contaminants are also separated from the hydraulic medium as a by-product. This means that the Aquamicron® elements doubles as a safety filter. The "filtration rating" is 40 µm absolute (Β40 >= 100 to Δp = 3 bar). In order to guarantee the greatest efficiency, it is recommended that these elements be installed in an off -line recirculation loop configuration. AM Series Specifications |

S Series Filter ElementsFEATURESHYDAC Suction Strainer Elements are designed for installation into suction lines of pumps. Extra caution should be taken to ensure that the suction elements are always mounted below the minimum oil level of the reservoir. Standard models have nominal filtration ratings of 74 or 125 microns. the suction strainer elements can also be supplied with a bypass valve to reduce high pressure drops caused by contaminated elements or high viscosity fluids during cold starting. The bypass valve opens at 3 psi. For best results, suction strainer elements should be sized for clean element pressure drops of no higher than 0.5 to 0.7 psi. HYDAC Suction Strainer Elements are manufactured using stainless steel wire screen media. Suction strainer elements are only intended to protect hydraulic pumps against catastrophic failure caused by coarse contaminants. Suction strainer elements should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Suction strainer elements should not be used as the only filtration elements in a hydraulic system. Pressure filters and return line filters, with reasonable dirt holding capacity, must be installed to provide protection against component damage cause by fine contaminants. S Series Specifications |

HYDAC Betafit® Filter ElementsHYDAC QUALITY AND PERFORMANCEBetafit® Filter Elements are dimensionally similar to other manufacturer's elements and will fit interchangeably into their filter housings. There are no claims regarding comparative performance characteristics as applied in actual system operation. In fact, all interchange elements vary greatly in performance and longevity in the systems in which they are applied. HYDAC, a leader in the design of absolute-rated fiberglass filters, focuses on the optimization of the following characteristics:
PRICE AND VALUE Initial cost is an important factor, so HYDAC prices their BETAFIT® Filter Elements competitively. However, HYDAC recommends that careful consideration be given to the long-term cost savings resulting from elements having exceptional efficiency and dirt-holding capacity, thus, resulting in well controlled cleanliness levels. When measured on the basis of performance to price, HYDAC products offer a superior value. PROVEN PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY MANUFACTURING HYDAC designs, manufactures and tests absolute-rated filter elements at their headquarters plant in Bethlehem, PA. Through active product development efforts, HYDAC, where quality is standard, continually seeks to improve performance of existing elements and continues expanding our comprehensive line of element interchanges. Recognizing that filters operate under harsh conditions and that system and component failures can be disastrous to your equipment. HYDAC follows strict QC practices and maintains wide design wide safety margins in the manufacture and application of HYDAC Products and Services. RANGE OF PRODUCTS HYDAC provides a wide range of cartridge filter elements, spin-ons, air breathers, and suction strainers — and can interchange a high percentage of products made by competitive filter element manufacturers. As a result many companies find that converting to HYDAC BETAFIT® elements allow them to consolidate purchases and reduce inventory while enjoying superior performance. AVAILABILITY HYDAC stocking distributors, like Flo-Products, are located throughout the U.S. and Canada, and offer support with local inventory and selection assistance. HYDAC supports their distributors with an additional stock of BETAFIT® interchange elements, most of which are produced at the HYDAC plant in Bethlehem, PA. If HYDAC customers require support outside of North America, HYDAC will make arrangements through the worldwide distribution network of HYDAC of Germany.
