Keywords: Filters, Fluids, Hydraulics
The potential for damage to hydraulic equipment caused by contaminated hydraulic oil is obvious to all engineers. And the cost of machine down time can be even more expensive.
Fawcett Christi Hydraulics Limited is the UK distributor of filters manufactured by Mahle of Germany, recognised as one of Europe's leading suppliers to the hydraulic industry. Large stocks of filters housings and filter elements are held at the FCH headquarters in North Wales for a Reliable-Rapid-Response Service. The filters are supplied via an extensive nationwide distributor network, which enables urgent requirements to be delivered or collected from local agents. Competitively priced against similar quality products, Mahle filters are easily fitted to existing equipment.
The cost saving benefits of Mahle filters are partially derived from a Fawcett Christie's marketing policy that does not seek to overly complicate the market. "Specifiers and buyers are well aware of what they require from a filter", says FCH managing director, Kevin Brownlee, "so there seems little point in offering all sorts of costly technical back up to an audience which already well understands what it needs".
Filters for all low, medium and high pressure applications are available, including the uniquely compact Metal Edge filters, which enable the element to be cleaned without the hydraulic machinery being shut down. Fully illustrated catalogue and price list available.
