The Italian company MP Filtri presents the series of Return MPFX and MPTX filters and of Return/Suction MRSX: lifesavers of mobile construction machines.
Modern high-performance machinery is created from high-quality components which require the continuous removal of contamination from hydraulic fluids to ensure a long lifespan and peak effectiveness. Filters play a crucial role in protecting hydraulic systems because even the smallest amount of particle contamination will adversely affect the performance and reliability of the circuit technology within both fixed and self-propelled machines. To create an effective fluid cleaning system it is therefore essential to assess the type and position of the filters found inside circuits and to consider such factors as flow-rate and pressure, the required levels of filtration efficiency, environmental conditions, the type of fluid used and intervention cycles.
Italian fluid power: a growing sector
The Fluid Power sector is constantly growing in Italy and, in 2017, it exceeded 2.1 billion Euros, the Production reached almost 3.5 billions, with an Export of 2.2 billions and an active trade balance by over 1.2 billion Euros, according to the last Assofluid Short-Term Business Survey. Very positive data also for the single hydraulic branch, where the turnover, compared to 2016, fluctuates between +9% for Italy and +16.4% for Export, with a National Market and Production at the end of 2017 that respectively reach +9.3% and +13.8%. Even better results concerning the orders, with variations included between +19.3% (Export) and +36.2% (Import).
