HYDAC Filtertechnik: Betamicron®4
New Element Generation with Increased Performance


Description
Already with the previous Betamicron® technology (generation 3), you have always been on the safe side: High and, above all, long-term stable fluid cleanliness for almost any hydraulic or lubrication system. The new generation Betamicron®4 even tops it: Better performance data for the same price.

The typical HYDAC element structure was maintained: The unique outer envelope ensures optimum guiding of the flow and protection of the high-quality filter medium; the star-shaped folded filter mat stabilizes the element, through which fluid flows from outside to inside and ensures maximum utilization of the glass fiber's efficiency. 

Advantages

Longer plant service life,
improved protection of sensitive components
Due to the use of a new filter media combination in the new Betamicron®4 technology it was possible to achieve a remarkable improvement in filtration results.

Reduced operational cost,
because the new filter elements need to be changed even less frequently due to the up to 30 % higher contamination retention capacity and improved flow characteristics.

High operational reliability,
because the patented longitudinal seam (= smooth seam in the transition area of the filter media) does not permit a particle exchange between the clean and the dirt side, and because the filter element is fully discharge capable (no generation of potential or sparks).  

Universal use
also of the new elements with modern hydraulic and lubricating oils, in particular due to the absence of components containing zinc.

Reduced shipping and waste disposal cost,
because the weight of the new elements was reduced by up to 30 % due to the use of spiro lock seam support tubes.

The key innovations are:

Optimized mat structure with newly developed filter media and additional drainage layer
Higher particle separation (ßx(c) value)
Higher contamination retention
Improved Δp/Q characteristics
Patented process for longitudinal seam bonding
Element is fully discharge-capable
Use of spiro lock seam support tubes
Outer envelope made of plastic (previously metal)

Technical data:

Collapse burst pressure:

  • Low pressure differential stability: 20 bar (BN4HC)
  • High pressure differential stability: 210 bar (BH4HC) Filter ratings: 3, 5, 10, 20 µm

Application

The new fiber glass technology, installed in the return line filter elements (R) and pressure filter elements (D) is used for the fine filtration of hydraulic and lubricating fluids.

 



PERFORMANCE DATE

Dirt retention capacity in g
Established in line wit the multipass test ISO 16889


NOTE:
In the type code of the complete filter, the Betamicron element materials is always designated with BN/HC or BH/HC independently of the generation.

Example:
Element type code:0060 R 010 BN4HC
Type code of the complete filter: RF BN/HC 60 D C 10 A 1.x


 Gradient coefficients in mbar/l/min

Flow rate established in line with ISO 3968


Prices / Delivery Times

The new element technology will be successively included in the series program from October 2006 on. The material numbers will remain unchanged. The new elements are, of course, downward compatible, i. e. they can be installed in existing systems on a 1:1 basis.

The prices remain unchanged and can be found in the current HYDAC price list. Since the prices were not increased, please use the prices for element technology Betamicron®3 for a transitional period. The delivery time is approx. 2-3 weeks.

Further Information

Detailed performance data and furtherinformation about the new Betamicron®4 element technology can be found in the newHYDAC brochure manual, which can be ordered from HYDAC directly from01.12.2006 on, or at www.hydac.com.

Please note that for fine filtration HYDAC also offers so-called Mobilemicron elements (optimized in terms of differential pressure) and ECOmicron® elements (which feature particular ease of waste disposal). For more information, please contact the technical sales organization of HYDAC Filtertechnik (contact see below) or the HYDAC field office in your vicinity.

NOTE

The information in this brochure relates to the
operating conditions and applications described.
