As a cost-effective quality producer, we will work with your purchasing department to supply filtration.

exceptional elements are tested to ensure fabrication integrity in the manufacturing process. They are also tested for efficiency and dirt holding capacity in a multi-pass test stand, equipped with inline particle capabilities, which are calibrated to ISO standards.

High pressure filters up to 6500 psi (450 bar) produce the lowest system contamination levels to assure clean fluid for sensitive high-pressure components and provide protection of downstream components in the event of catastrophic failures. Systems with high pressure flows typ​ically need only be sized to match the output of the pump, where the return line may require a much larger filter for the higher flows. Schroeder's product range of high pressure housings includes top-ported, base-ported, servo protection (sandwich) filter housings, manifold mounted and manifold assembled, cartridge elements for use in manifold applications, hydrostatic (bi-directional) and high pressure water service filters. Medium pressure filters up to 1500 psi (100 bar) are often considered when initial cost is a major concern. A special concern in applying return line filters is sizing for flow; large rod cylinders and other components can cause return line flows to be much greater than pump output. Return lines can have substantial pressure surges, which need to be taken into consideration when selecting filters and their locations. Schroeder's product range of medium pressure filter housings includes top-ported, base ported and medium pressure water service filters.

Ten years ago a diesel engine did not require anything close to the level of filtration provided by Schroeder. With poor quality filters the engine would still run, maybe not efficiently, but it would run. But with today’s, engines both the particulate and the coalescing filters must be of only the highest quality. Be assured the results of poor filtration are no longer just black smoke and a lack of horsepower. No, with Tier 4 engines’ poor filtration will likely mean l​ost revenue due to downtime as the operator pays to replace a failed injector. These problems are both manageable and should not add cost. With good filtration installed at the fill point and at the engine will run more efficiently and continuously, but the filters used and the higher level of filtration required can no longer be an afterthought. It must become the focal point of any feel and or any operator. Filtration quality and the profitable operation of any Tier 4 engine will become one in the same. The Tier 4 engine is a technology shift and when compared to Tier 1-3 engines, Tier 4 engines require a completely superior level of filtration to run, much less to run reliably and efficiently. Tier 4 diesel engines will now react more violently if the injectors are constantly bombarded by contamination. To put this into perspective newly delivered bulk diesel fuel typically has an ISO cleanliness level of ISO 222018 to ISO 211917 but today’s injectors need to see fluid with a cleanliness level of below ISO 1186 (aerospace cleanliness). As we have and continue to transition into the new world of Tier 4 requirements, the answer to the question “How clean does my fuel need to be” will be – ISO 1186 or better and the most cost effective way to consistently achieve this is through the use of the highest capacity, highest quality, particulate and coalescing filtration used at the point of dispense (at the bulk tank and on the engine itself). The engine filter can no longer be the only solution. There is simply not enough room in the engine and the cost to address the cleanliness only at the engine will become too high. Now going forward, bulk fuel filtration must be ground zero and it must be of the highest quality. The filtration performance specifications are now important and users must pay attention to the specifications and mandate only the best. It’s against this emissions reduction backdrop that Schroeder Industries developed its series of bulk on-board, fuel-specific filtration products. From an environmental, economic and regulatory viewpoint we defined the critical elements our products needed to achieve customer needs, in doing so we have laid the ground work now and for the future. While our competitors approach with yesterday’s technology, Schroeder Industries is focused on being a world leader in the fuels filtration field by being positioned to real issues of today.
