The new Filtersoft range of cartridge filters from Hi-line Industries Ltd are claimed to offer savings of up to 75% compared to the cost of other manufacturers products. These savings are achieved, however, without any compromise on build quality, performance or anticipated service life. Filters can be supplied for use with a wide range of fluids including compressed air, gases, process liquids together with both hydraulic and lubricating oils. They have been designed with energy efficiency in mind, to help companies alleviate the effects of the climate change levy. Typical industries include food and beverage, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, chemical, semi-conductor and automotive as well as many general industrial and processing operations. Hi-line are able to cross-reference over 147,000 different cartridge filter elements, covering a wide range of filtration products from a large number of suppliers to this market. Their Filtersoft range combines maximum chemical and thermal compatibility, with availability in a wide range of sizes and end cap materials and configurations to ensure that they can be used as drop-in replacements for most filters. They can be supplied for particulate removal, vacuum mist elimination, instrument air, coalescing and odour absorption applications. A multistage filtration effect including impaction, direct interception and diffusion is achieved with the ultrafine 100% borosilicate glass microfibers used for the body of the filtration element. The elements are also designed to fit directly into existing filter housings without modifications or the need for special fitting kits, with popular filter element sizes being available from stock. The proprietary Microflex filter media used in the manufacture of Hi-line products features a tapered-pore structure which ensures 99.99999% particle removal down to 0.01 microns. In many cases, this performance is higher than original equipment specifications and is coupled with high flow rates, good dirt holding potential and low differential pressures to provide long service life. As well as manufacturing replacement filter cartridges, Hi-line can also supply a range of desiccant and fridge dryers for the treatment of compressed air. In addition, they offer a Total Filter Management (TFM) strategy, designed for supplying all company filtration needs from process chemicals to effluent strainers.

***SPECIAL OFFER*** Single HTD any size or voltage: £22.75 10 off HTD's can be mixed port or voltage: £196.00 Great emphasis over many years has been put on ‘Zero-Loss’ autodrains for condensate. In our opinion and I’m sure you will agree, when it comes to reliability, it always falls short of the mark. The most reliable, value for money condensate drain is the good old fashioned Solenoid Timer Drain. The robust solenoid timer drain is the most effective way to remove condensate from vessels, tanks, filters and dryers. If the multi-variable timer is set up correctly to only discharge condensate and not air, it becomes as energy efficient as any Zero Loss drain, at a fraction of the cost of ownership. This is with the added bonus of it actually working! It doesn’t matter how good your dryer or filter is, if the drain is not taking out the condensate, its no good. The Hi-line HTD has a huge brass body to enable a healthy purchase from nipples direct into to the HTD, but importantly the big body allows larger internal porting to allow awkward particulate and vessel scale through the HTD without blocking up. Available in a range of sizes and voltages, (please see website for technical literature) the HTD has a single price across the range. We have been supplying these to the compressed air industry for many years. Do not confuse these with cheap valved copies, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WORK! Every Service Engineer should carry these on their van. Call today to get your special offer pack
