Hydraulic Filters

Baldwin hydraulic filters mean pure performance, system
protection and hours of trouble-free hydraulic system operation.

Baldwin Filters utilizes two types of filtration media:

• Cellulose Media — The original and most common media used in
  hydraulic fluid filtration is made of natural fibers. These twisted
  fibers are large and irregular – creating more resistance to flow or
  pressure drop. This causes larger contaminant particles to become
  concentrated on the surface of the media, increasing restriction and
  limiting holding capacity. Although cellulose media comes in many
  efficiency grades, most cellulose hydraulic and transmission filters
  range from 15 to 40 microns.
• Synthetic Media — The applications using synthetic media have
  grown
• rapidly since the late 1970s. Synthetic media is the choice in
  higher pressure, heavy-duty mobile hydraulic and transmission
  applications. These man-made glass fibers are uniform in size and
  shape. Their aerodynamic characteristics present the least possible
  resistance to flow, while removing contaminants from fluid.
• Synthetic media elements may cost slightly more, but offer
  significant performance advantages. These advantages include:
• Lower restriction especially during cold start situations
• Improved efficiency (at smaller micron sizes) to protect
  sensitive controls
• Extended equipment life.
