BMG’s fluid technology services include solutions for hydraulics and pneumatics, lubrication, filtration systems, hydraulic hose and fittings, as well as instrumentation, pumps and valves. “The range encompasses FG EcoPart filter elements for stationary and mobile hydraulic systems from the Filtration Group. These components, with defined filter performance and purity class, comply with stringent DIN and ISO standards and have all other necessary standard industry approvals.
These components are suitable for diverse hydraulic applications, as well as gear oil treatment. FG Filter elements reduce solid particle contamination to the prescribed contamination class, to prevent the ingress of dirt from the environment and maintain the properties of the hydraulic fluid for an extended time period. Included in this range are FG desiccant breathers, which protect lubricants and machines from damage caused by moisture and the ingress of particles.
The FG breather replaces conventional dust caps or breathers often found on new equipment. When contaminated air enters the top of the breather, it passes through layered filter media, blocking particles from entering the breather, thus preventing wear to equipment surfaces. The filtered air passes through a bed of silica gel, which effectively removes moisture.
Multilayer polyester filter media provide three micron particulate filtration and a polyurethane foam collects oil mist and distributes air evenly over filter media and the moisture absorbing silica gel.
Breathers are suitable for use in hydraulic units, where there are high humidity and temperature fluctuations. The normal hazards of condensation – rapid ageing of hydraulic oil, degradation of additives and corrosion – are prevented.
