ASTREA BYPASS FILTRATION SYSTEMS

The Astrea Bypass Filter System is a bypass oil filtration system that passes a portion  of the total oil flow through a very dense filter cartridge at a rate of 3 to 6 litres per minute. At this speed, it is possible to remove particles down to 1 micron (3 absolute) and remove 99.95% of all water, greatly decreasing engine wear and prolonging oil life. The Astrea system can virtually eliminate water and significantly reduce particle contamination, extend oil life up to 5 times and hydraulic oil life up to 10 times. By reducing the contamination in the oil the Astrea filtration system will reduce engine and component wear, dramatically reduce downtime and is applicable to engine oil as well as hydraulic systems. 

The Astrea filtration unit is made of cast aluminium with a galvanized steel mounting bracket. There are three basic sizes, which are installed according to a provided applications table. It is connected to the engine lubricating oil circulating system in a bypass loop using high pressure braided hose and fittings to SAE standards.
