Overview
The Schroeder KZ1 microglass filtration media is a precision-engineered filter element from the Excellement 2000 Series, designed to deliver exceptional filtration performance in demanding industrial hydraulic systems. The Beta 1 classification ensures fine filtration levels for applications requiring high-clarity hydraulic fluid and extended element service life.
Key Features
- Synthetic microglass construction with multi-layer media design
- Beta 1 rating for superior particle capture and removal efficiency
- Maximum dirt-holding capacity with minimum pressure drop
- Double-layer Excellement (Z) media for extended element life
- Excellent beta stability under increasing differential pressure
- High flow rate with reduced operating costs
Technical Specifications
The KZ1 element features a robust construction optimized for industrial filtration duty. Its synthetic microglass media is manufactured to precise thicknesses and densities, bonded with select resins to create fine filtration passages. This design enables superior particle capture while maintaining low pressure drops and high flow rates across the filtration cycle.
