Anti-Static Filter Elements

Static discharge is a common problem in the lubricating oil systems of today’s turbo-machinery. Hilco PH-CGJ style filter elements incorporate conductive fibers which are co-pleated in between two layers of hi performance microglass filter media. As a result the Hilco anti-static filter element dissipates static charge build up before discharge can occur.

The AVENTICS Ceram 4-way pneumatic directional control valve are subbase mounted in single or manifold configurations. The valves have ISO 5599/1 mounting dimensions, so they are interchangeable with other ISO 5599/1 valves. They are available in ISO sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4, with port sizes from ¼“ to 1“ NPTF and ISO G (BSPP).

The Jamesbury high performance valve is a heartier concept than the rubber lined version. The term ‘high performance’ when considering the butterfly valve means the valve will take full ANSI pressure ratings, shuts off ‘bubble tight’, has higher temperature ratings and, through the use of design and materials, has a much higher cycle life (extending into the millions of cycles without failure or leakage).

The Fulflo® HF Depthflo™ microglass pleated filter cartridges are offered in 6" diameter x 80" lengths. The high surface area filter media is supported with a tin plated steel core and outer cage utilizing an external O-ring seal with a closed cap.

GasShield PENTA

GasShield® PENTA® filters offer the high flow and low ΔP of Teflon®, but with a 100% nickel filter element. This design reduces filter element surface area, resulting in lower levels of moisture retention and faster purge time.
