Efficiency, profitability and
environmental sustainability
Efficiency, profitability and environmental sustainability are
increasingly setting the requirements for liquid/solid sepa-
ration filter technology in all areas of industry. The primary
consideration is protecting high-value capital plant from
damage caused by system contamination. This requires
efficient technical solutions which minimise the capital,
operational and maintenance costs. The duplex filter type
BFD meets all these requirements optimally by unique
flexible concepts for the filtration of

water,

lubricating oil,

fuel,

machining coolants

as well as component wash solutions and chemicals


THE CONCEPT
An universal series - optimally variable

The requirements laid down for a modern double filter With 60 variants and the available housing materials
are optimised in the design of the new BFD as a result of (ductile iron, cast steel or stainless steel), the BFD
the versatile concept. In addition, the BFD series combi- series provides a flexible filter solution. The flexibility of
nes the utmost levels of economy with operational safe- the BFD series is enhanced by compliance with the
ty, thanks to: requirements of:

• Innovative detailed solutions • AD 2000


• Flexible, tailor-made modular construction • EN 13445
• Functionality that sets new standards. • 2014 / 68 / EU
• ASME SECT. VIII DIV. 1
• API 614 and

Efficient operation - reduced costs

Efficiency in the process and functionality in operation


and maintenance add up to a number of advantages for
the user, which overall lead to a clear reduction in opera-
ting costs:

• The 60 basic variants of the series allow for the most


economic design in each case
• The two-part housing reduces expenditure on mainte-
nance
• The innovative construction minimises wear on parts
and the risk of faults and thus increases the availability
of the whole plant

The BOLLFILTER TYPE BFD


unites modern industrial design
with standard-setting technology
