The purity of hydraulic fluid is directly related to the optimal functioning of any piece of hydraulic equipment. Hydraulic filters come in a wide range of options, including spin- or cartridge style, suction strainers, suction filters, or very powerful high-pressure filters, but each type helps keep hydraulic fluid free of outside contaminants, preventing pump restriction and protecting expensive components like actuators and servo valves from damage that can lead to costly repairs and significant equipment failure and downtime. Hydraulic filtration is especially important in equipment that is exposed to the elements or put up to tough and repeated use, like waste industry equipment. While service maintenance intervals vary by manufacturer equipment (consult your equipment service manual for details), hydraulic filters have a finite life and must be replaced regularly to ensure proper functioning. Preventive maintenance and regular inspection are necessary, so site and parts managers are advised to order these items in bulk and keep extras on-hand. Wastebuilt offers premium OEM brand hydraulic filters and extends the full manufacturer’s warranty on all of them. There are many options out there, but you can trust our expert staff to help determine the best option for your equipment and intended use and to get it to you quickly and easily.
