Uninterrupted Filtration without
Pressure Loss
When it comes to guaranteeing long-term trouble-free op-
eration of internal combustion engines or processing
plants, consistent operating conditions are an important
factor in both cases. By protecting moving parts against
wear and tear you maximize their service life. At the same
time it is also important to keep wastage of operational
fluids to an absolute minimum. Two aspects that play a key
role here are the cleanliness of the liquid fuels, lubricants,
alkalines or coolants used and maintenance of a constant
operating pressure. Automatic high performance filters
are used in industry today to guarantee both these factors.
Key requirements that such filters have to meet are:
• Adequate filtering capacity
• Guarantee of purity for the filtrate
• Guaranteed integrity of system pressure
• Unsupervised 24/7 operation
• Minimum waste maximum efficiency
• Minimal maintenance and low running costs

The BOLLFILTER
Automatic Type 6.64
can be used for a wide
range of purposes,
e.g. for filtering diesel
engine lubricants,

... for filtering caustic

soda in bottle washing
machines

... for filtering fuels or

... for filtering coolants in

tooling machines
