Replacement Filter Elements
We supply all of your replacement filter elements through trusted suppliers. These are listed below according to manufacturer.
A complete line of industrial filtration elements available on the market today. Fluitek’s line covers over 20,000 different models for oil, fuel, water and air filter applications.
Absorption Elements
Absorption elements(filters) are designed to remove water or a specific chemical from fuel, solvents, and oils which is emulsified by the presence of surfactants and will not separate in a coalescer/separator process. These elements are commonly used at refineries, fuel pipe-lines, machine shops, and oil recycling applications. Available in several sizes to fit existing filter vessels, these elements are capable of removing up to 4 quarts of water per element while reducing free water content down below 10 ppm.
The filtration layer of the element allows the element to be used in a dual process by removing particulate as well as absorbing water. When configured with our high performance glass media, our elements are able to achieve a filtration efficiency of 99.5% at micron ratings as low as 1 micron.A variation of the standard absorption element is the color change element. These elements are used in compressed air applications to absorb oil and oil mists in critical applications. Our color change elements use a silica gel desiccant that indicates to the user when the element has reached the end of its filter life by changing colors.
Adsorption Elements
The Fullers Earth is used to adsorb soluble contaminants such as gums, resins, waxes and acids from fuels, oils and solvents. Carbon elements are used for the removal of color and odor from potable liquids such as water, vegetable oils and mineral oils. Adsorption elements are not intended for filtration. However, due to their construction, they provide filtration down to 5 micron in the Fullers Earth elements and 1 micron in the Carbon elements. These elements are limited to 300° F and 50-80 PSIDP differential pressure.
The prime use of Fullers Earth elements as in the removal of acids in oil reclamation and surfactants in aviation fuels. The largest use of Carbon elements is in the purification of water.
