The name HYDAC is recognised around the world as being a leading provider of fluid and filter technology across a wide range of industries. Here’s some background about HYDAC and the reasons why – following an extensive process – we selected HYDAC as our filtration partner.
What is fluid and filter technology?
The hydraulic process refers to a system that uses incompressible fluid (an oil of some sort) to transfer force from one point to another. Hydraulic systems are particularly useful in any industry that relies heavily on machinery to perform tasks, such as engineering, mining, electronics, and manufacturing. This is because the basic hydraulic process makes moving heavy items much easier.
Where you have fluids, you also need high quality filters to prevent contaminants and particles building up and causing a range of problems in the fluid systems of expensive, heavy-duty machinery.
Fluid and filter technology refers to the continuous development of the many technical and highly specialised individual components and accessories that make these fluid and filter systems work exactly the way they’re intended, across a wide range of applications from fuel filtration to wind turbine hydraulics.
From accessories supplier to international experts
In 1963, a family company in Saarland, Germany, started supplying the accessories necessary for fluid and filter systems. That company was HYDAC. As fluid technology became more widespread, the demand for accessories such as valves, couplings, connections, seals, filters and a range of other components grew and HYDAC has continued to keep pace with every technological advance fluid systems have made.
Due to their design and application-oriented characteristics, HYDAC is recognised around the world as the manufacturer of filtration systems that deliver superior performance, including:
- High beta value stability across a wide differential pressure range
- High pressure stability
- Long service life
- Low pressure drops
- Wide selection of filtration ratings
- Optimum filter materials for specific applications
- Wide range of applications
HYDAC filtration systems are trusted across a wide range of industries to provide the highest level of purity possible, which is why Bulk Fuel Australia chose HYDAC diesel filters to provide Final Filtered Diesel®.
Final Filtered Diesel®
Together, Bulk Fuel Australia and HYDAC conducted a series of tests that demonstrate how the HYDAC diesel filtration process, applied to Bulk Fuel Australia’s vehicles and fuel storage tanks remove particles and contaminants that result in a level of fuel cleanliness that exceeds Australian industry standards.
Bulk Fuel Australia is very proud to have HYDAC as our filtration partner and together we are providing Final Filtered Diesel® fuel across Australia that can help to improve the reliability and efficiency of your vehicles and diesel-powered equipment.
