• A comprehensive range of hydraulic filter housing technologies, equipped with high-quality filter element materials ensure high operating safety and long maintenance intervals.
• High Pressure Filters up to 6500psi (450bar): Systems with high pressure flows may only need to be sized to match the output of the pump, where the return line may require a much larger filter for the higher flows. Schroeder products range from: Top-Ported, Base-Ported, Servo Protection (Sandwich) Filters, Manifold Mounted and Manifold Assemblies, Cartridge Elements for use in Manifold Applications, Hydrostatic (Bi-Directional) and High Pressure Water Service Filters.
  Medium Pressure Filters up to 1500psi (100bar): Large rod cylinders and other components can cause return line flows to be much greater than pump output. Return lines can have substantial pressure surges, which need to be taken into consideration when selecting filters and their locations. Schroeder products range from: Top-Ported, Base Ported and Medium Pressure Water Service Filters.
• Low Pressure Filters up to up to 500 psi (35 bar): Schroeder’s integrated filter line of products range from: Top-Ported, Tank-Mounted (In-Tank/Tank Top), Special Feature Tank-Mounted Filters, Severe Duty Tank-Mounted, Spin-On Low Pressure Filters, and Low Pressure Water Service Filters.

• Advanced Diesel Filtration: Because many people assume they’re buying quality fuel that meets the required specifications, diesel fuel cleanliness is seldom questioned. But higher fuel system operating pressures, lower system tolerances, tighter filtration and the ultra-low sulfur requirements have pushed fuel cleanliness into the maintenance spotlight. Engine manufacturers are realizing that diesel fuel cleanliness can have great impact on overall engine performance. In fact, many are now recommending that diesel fuel that does not meet an ISO Cleanliness Code of 18/16/13 should be filtered before introduction to the fuel system. Injector manufacturers are mandating an ISO cleanliness code of 13/9/6 with water content levels at less than 200 ppm.
• Bulk Fuel Filtration:: Coalescing filtration, a highly effective method to remove water from diesel fuels. Water is typically introduced into the fuel supply by condensation. Water in a vehicle fuel system can reduce lubricity causing seizure of close tolerance parts and increased wear. Water in fuel storage tanks causes rust and promotes microbial growth. Schroeder offers a complete line of bulk fuel coalescing filters from 16 GPM up. we invite you to review your needs against the high performance filter line we can provide.
• “HDP series, On-Board Diesel Filtration Required. Mobile machines and commercial vehicles are subject to the toughest working conditions all over the world.

• Life Monitoring & Quality Control: Using the TCM Online particle monitor, biodiesel producers can effectively monitor the residual life of Eco2Pure™. The particle counts increase as the media approaches exhaustion, allowing for adequate notification for Eco2Pure™ rebedding. This is an excellent way of ensuring that ONLY quality fuel is produced, and eliminates the possibility of downstream migration of production residues, moisture and soaps.
• ColdClear™ The ASTM D6751 Cold Soak Filtration Test is leaving many biodiesel producers and consumers “out in the cold.” In response, Schroeder Fuel Filtration is proud to present ColdClear™, a proprietary multi-stage separation technology designed specifically to ensure that biodiesel products conform to this ASTM standard for cold flow properties.
• Final Polishing | High Efficiency Particulate Filtration for Bio & Diesel Fuel: Irrespective of the wash process you choose for your production facility, final polishing of biodiesel is essential to ensure that fuel, once washed, is free of solid contaminants, moisture, production and wash residues.
• Fuel Quality Measurement Tools: Regardless if you’re a high volume producer or not, minutes count. Finding that you have produced dirty fuel an hour late can leave you with a problem fuel. ​Online sensors can help you catch the problem before your customer does. Offline monitoring: Taking and examining samples during various stages of your production process or bulk systems, can provide a priceless level of visibility to troubleshooting or even just understanding your current biodiesel production processes or available fuel. Fuel analysis can identify potential causes for fuel filter plugging, smoking, loss of power, poor injector performance, malfunctioning throttle position sensors and sticking valves.
