Hengst Innovation - Boost Performance and Durability with PWR and Cyclone Effect Filters

Hydraulic systems are the backbone of machinery in many industries, including mining, manufacturing, and industrial machinery.

However, maintaining the reliability and performance of these systems can be difficult due to contaminants like dust, dirt, and abrasion.

Hengst’s PWR (Pure Power) and Cyclone Effect filters offer innovative solutions that improve filtration efficiency, reduce downtime, and cut operating costs.

Here we will explore the technical advancements and practical benefits of Hengst filters, along with their applications for different industries.

The cost of downtime? How Hengst Filters Can Keep Your Equipment Running Smoothly.

Hydraulic systems in industries like mining, manufacturing, and heavy machinery operation face constant exposure to contaminants. These contaminants include dust, dirt, and particulate matter can reduce filtration efficiency, increase maintenance needs, and ultimately lead to costly downtime. Filters can become clogged, leading to a decrease in performance and the need for frequent replacements that raise your operational costs.

The challenge is to provide a filtration solution that ensures the continuous operation of machinery, reduces maintenance frequency, and extends the life of filters and components.

What are PWR Filters?

The Hengst Pure Power (PWR) filter technology features a 6-layer material combination that provides your machinery and equipment with enhanced dirt retention and reduces pressure loss.

• PWR filter material consists of six layers: includes asymmetrically arranged glass fiber paper. These layers are designed to work together, trapping a wide range of contaminants, from fine particles to varnish and reaction products.

1. Supporting Fabric: Ensures the filter material stays securely in place.
2. Pre-filter: A micro-glass layer that absorbs coarse particles, reducing the load on the main filter.
3. Intermediate Filter: Relieves pressure on the main filter, improving efficiency.
4. Main Filter: Fine filtration that ensures the desired filtration fineness.
5. Electrically Conductive Fleece: Reduces electrostatic discharge risks, crucial for systems handling flammable fluids.
6. Stainless Steel Support Mesh: Adds durability and ensures structural integrity.

Up to 50% Higher Dirt Holding Capacity: The innovative design allows the PWR filter to hold up to 50% more contaminants, extending service intervals and reducing filter replacements, which significantly lowers labour, material, and disposal costs.
Low Differential Pressure: Despite increased dirt-holding capacity, the PWR filters maintain low differential pressure, ensuring optimal fluid flow and system efficiency even under high stress.
Electrostatic Protection: The electrically conductive fleece reduces the risk of electrostatic build-up and fire, making the PWR filter ideal for systems that handle flammable fluids.

What is the Hengst Cyclone Effect?

The Cyclone Effect filter technology from Hengst enhances filtration performance by creating a dynamic, helical flow pattern that improves dirt separation and prevents filter clogging.

Tangential Flow for Enhanced Dirt Separation: Fluid enters the filter housing tangentially, creating a spiral flow that moves around the filter element. This design ensures that heavier particles are separated and moved outward, reducing the likelihood of clogging the filter pores prematurely.
How the Cyclone Effect Works:

Medium Entry – Fluid enters tangentially, creating a spiral motion as it moves down.
Helical Flow Pattern – Heavier particle sare pushed to the filter’s outer edges, preventing premature clogging.
Heavy Particle Accumulation – Larger dirt particles are collected at the bottom of the filter bowl, which increases dirt holding capacity and prolongs filter life.

3. Benefits of the Cyclone Effect:

• Extended Filter Life – Prevents premature clogging, allowing the filter to handle more dirt without needing frequent changes.
• Improved Dirt Holding Capacity – The design helps collect heavy particles at the bottom of the filter, reducing the need for replacements.
• Smoother Fluid Flow – The cyclone design ensures fluid flows smoothly through the system, reducing strain on other components and enhancing efficiency.

QUICK TIP

Do you know how to Inspect Your Filters?

Schedule regular inspections at recommended intervals
• Ensure you follow the manufacturer’s service recommendations based on system usage and conditions.
Look for signs of wear, damage, or clogging
• Examine the filter housing for cracks, dents, or corrosion that could compromise its effectiveness.
• Check seals and gaskets for signs of damage or leakage.
Check for visible signs of dirt, debris, or damage on the filter element
• Inspect the filter for any accumulated dirt, sludge, or particles, which could indicate it’s clogged and needs replacement.
Look for leaks or unusual noises coming from the hydraulic system
• Check for fluid leaks around the filter or system components.
• Pay attention to unusual noises, such as whining or humming, which might signal poor filter performance.

When it’s time to replace your filter, choose Hengst for superior protection and performance. Hengst’s PWR and Cyclone Effect filter technologies address these challenges by offering advanced filtration solutions that increase dirt retention, reduce clogging, and lower operating costs. These market leading technologies improve uptime and keep your machinery performing for longer!
