Medium Pressure Hydraulic Oil Filter Replacement Elements – iProtect® GMF Series

GMF Series Replacement Elements provide reliable and cost-effective inline hydraulic filtration in a compact package. Available in single or double length configurations, with ratings ranging from 2 to 20 microns, the elements offer efficient protection against contaminant ingress in hydraulic systems, which can lead to increased machine wear, shorter maintenance intervals, and costly downtime. The elements are ideally suited for use in heavy equipment exposed to harsh environments, including deck and mobile cranes, hydraulic presses, excavators, harvesters, drilling equipment, forwarders, and marine steering units.

Unique to the GMF Series Replacement Elements is a patented eco-friendly design that allows for integration of the bypass valve and element core as reusable parts in the filter bowl. This results in reduced waste (by up to 50%) and lower disposal costs. Additionally, the GMF Series features a special locking system, which ensures that the element remains in bowl during servicing, resulting in a highly compact filter solution with very low bowl/element clearance
Glass fiber media ensures maximum filter efficiency over an extended lifetime. Multiple filter housing sizes are available depending on nominal flow and connection type. The elements are compatible with a wide range of hydraulic fluids including:

• Hydraulic mineral oils H to class HLPD (DIN51524)
• Operating fluids DIN ISO 2943
• Lubrication fluids ISO6743, APJ, DIN 51517, ACEA, ASTM  
• Vegetable oils
• 60/40 Water glycols
• On request - Industrial grade phosphate esters
• Non-aggressive synthetic oils
• Non-aggressive bio-degradable oils (HETG, HEPG and HEES to VDMA 24568)
