Innovative protection for sample analysers
The wide range of Parker Balston branded filters, used to protect analysers, is further strengthened with the latest range of fast loop filter housings.
New metallic core for ProBond filter cartridges
Parker Hannifin ProBond resin bonded filter cartridges are now available with an optional metallic core for paint, ink, resin and adhesives manufacturing applications where high strength is necessary
The environmentally friendly LEIF (Low Environmental Impact Filter) element has been designed to allow the outer metal filter sleeve to be re-used.
As a result, only the contaminated filter media has to be disposed of as chemical waste, helping to reduce disposal and processing costs by as much as 50% typically.
Connection points for support devices, such as suction pumps, drains or filler openings, can be easily incorporated into the lightweight tank, with metal connectors being available for hose couplings, and flange or thread attachments.
Each metal connector is moulded into the copolymer reservoir wall, ensuring a reliable, leak-proof connection between the reservoir and ancillary components.
In addition, an oil level indicator can be fully integrated into the design, eliminating the need for level glasses, which are fragile and a potential source of leakage if mounted incorrectly.
The dimensions, shape and design of the lightweight reservoir can be fully adapted to meet the specific needs of each customer, with each reservoir being specified as a single unit.
This can help OEMs to reduce inventory, assembly and maintenance costs.
The new copolymer reservoir forms part of a product family comprising filters and filtration products, which have been designed to combine exceptional levels of performance and reliability in robust, virtually zero maintenance units.
