Heated off-line filters

The 'Heated unit' is a unique progression of the Off-line filter series.
The filtration of high viscosity oils, in both hydraulic and lubrication systems, is an almost impossible task for fine filters as the thickness of these oils 'block' almost all normal filters.

The RMF Heated unit warms the oil in a specific manner, allowing the viscosity to be reduced to a level which will permit fine filtration without the oil being exposed to too high temperatures that could cause overheating and burning of the oil, rendering it useless.
An internal labyrinth in the heater tube ensures the fluid a long duration of stay to increase contact time with the heating element achieving maximum possible temperature transfer. An adjustable thermostat allows for exact temperature settings while an maximum thermostat prevents overheating.

The Heated units have proved their worth over a long period and are frequently applied to:
- gearbox-lubrication systems;
- wind power drive systems;
- outdoor hydraulic systems;
- marine hydraulic systems.
