Don’t just take Schroeder’s word on the quality of our products. Here are just a few success stories highlighting how hydraulic filters from Schroeder Industries’ Hydraulic and Lube group saved our customers money, downtime, hassle and more!
When a Frac Drilling OEM in West Texas was facing delivery delays and contamination issues with their filters, the experts at Schroeder stepped in to provide a cost-effective, high-performance filtration solution.
Schroeder Industries upgraded the OEM’s system with the QF5i, featuring an innovative magnetic filter rod.
The QF5i’s magnetic filter rod increases capture of metallic particles and improves the overall dirt holding capacity of the new filter elements by preventing ferrous particles from reaching the element.
The increased dirt holding capacity and overall longer life expectancy of the filter elements allowed the OEM to save substantially on the cost of replacement elements alone.
Here’s how this OEM benefited from this Schroeder Solution!
Dirt Holding Capacity:
+73% (40 µm)
+254% (25 µm)
Element Life Expectancy:
+40% Versus
Competitor
Element Cost Savings:
40% – 60%
