RF oil return filter – dual barrel, 3–200μm, no shutdown.

1. Product Overview

Aite RF Series Oil Return Filter is mainly used for fine filtration of oil return 

in pipeline hydraulic systems. Aite RF Series Oil Return Filter can be installed 

directly on the cover plate of the tank – completing the switching of the double

 barrel through the 3-way switching ball valve in the filter, facilitating 

maintenance and filter element replacement when the system is not closed.

 This design allows operators to service the filter without shutting down the 

hydraulic system, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing production 

downtime.

Aite RF Series Oil Return Filter is designed for reliable filtration performance in

 demanding industrial hydraulic applications. The filter element is made of 

glass fiber material, offering high filtration accuracy, large oil flow capacity,

 small pressure loss, and large contaminant absorption capacity. Metal mesh 

material filter elements are also available for applications requiring coarser 

filtration or higher strength.

As a professional manufacturer specializing in industrial filtration equipment,

 we deliver Aite RF Series Oil Return Filter with stable performance, 

reliable construction, and competitive pricing for industrial facilities worldwide.
