Inline hydraulic filter

[J_J]

I saw this and thought some of you might be interested in this kind of high pressure filter to put on the output of the hydraulic motor, or anything returning to tank.

J.J., do you feel this would increase the life of the machine? Would your suggestion be to connect it to the PTO and leave the PTO on most of the time? Also would you use it with an attachment on the PTO? Would it handle the PTO flow?

Bob,

I would at least put one on the output of the hydraulic motor. and you could also connect it between the PTO hose and run it that way. However, I would get the filter that you can take apart and change the internal filter. You might also tee in a gage to monitor the pressure. When new, note the pressure , and keep an eye on it, or listen for the relief valve on the PTO valve. I am thinking about getting a couple of these. The price seems right.

I wouldn't think that the filter would do much good. The standard filter on the PT is 10 microns. The finest filter listed is 25 microns with alternatives that would provide even less filtration.

I think that if you are going to the trouble to add a filter that it should be 10 microns or LESS. This is the filter Burden Sales Surplus Center Item Detail I added to the return line from my mower. It comes with a 10 micron cartridge but finer cartridges are available.

I would have to agree; however, it depends upon what one wants to achieve. If you are trying to keep out gross debris the one JJ posted would do it. The one that you posted has the capacity to filter and hold a significant amount, which would be especially important if one were using a finer filter.

Either way, it would be prudent, as JJ mentions, to have either a pressure gauge on each side, or like this one a differential pressure indicator, or both.

All the best,

Peter

Bob, 25 micron is the standard, there are other selections, as in below.

Hydraulic In-Line Filter 3000 PSI Maximum 25 Micron Standard (10, 40 & 90 Micron Available, Call) Anodized Aluminum Housing Sintered Bronze Element Can Be Removed to be Cleaned or Replaced 40ｺF to 200ｺF Operating Temperature Tee type features the added convenience of an element that can be removed without breaking line connections

I miissed the 10 micron option in your original post.

I think sintered filter elements have very little material holding capacity and will quickly block if there is much to be filtered. If you put one of those filters on the PTO circuit which pumps a lot of fluid I would be concerned that it would quickly begin to block with a 10 micron or less element and with a 25 micron or higher number I wouldn't think it would do much good.

On the other hand the filter housing/element is relatively inexpensive and aside from potentially reducing flow won't do harm and might do some good. However by the time you buy the additional fittings and pressure monitoring equipment you will increase the cost and still have a filter with very little capacity to hold contaminants.

Bob, why did you select an expensive high pressure filter for the mower return line? What would be wrong using this one, for example.

Did you have a concern that something could plug downstream causing the filter to rupture?

 

[ponytug]

The concern that I would have is that at high flow rates, you could potentially get excessive pressure onto that filter, causing a leak or rupture. I would stick with a filter rated for the full pressure, just in case the filter gets a bunch of debris and develops some back pressure.

With a high pressure filter, you would have the option of hooking up a short hydraulic line and running the PTO circuit as a filter, without the attachment in place.

On thing that confuses me about the Burden filter is that the bypass is set at 50 PSI? Or am I mis-reading the info.
