In addition to an in-line hydraulic filtration strategy, an offline filter system can greatly enhance the cleanliness of hydraulic fluid. A Filter Cart System is a stand-alone unit that operates independent of the main hydraulic system, allowing it to function even when the machine is turned off.
Often referred to as an offline filtration or kidney loop systems, Filter Cart Systems have many application points within a plant or factory:
- Filtering incoming hydraulic fluids prior to adding to bulk storage
- Filtering new fluid before it is put into service
- Fluid transfer and filtering before adding to a hydraulic reservoir
- Supplementing current hydraulic filtration already in the system
- Roll-off cleanliness – cleaning a reservoir on a piece of equipment prior to shipment to ensure peak fluid condition
- Cleaning up a hydraulic system following component replacement
Whether your machine is new or many years old, the cleaner the hydraulic fluid, the better the operating condition. In hydraulic systems, 70 to 90% of wear and failure is contamination related. Issues such as defects, misuse or age can be traced to only 10 to 30% percent of failures.
While clean fluid is critical to proper system operation, unfortunately, contamination cannot be stopped. However, with Schroeder Industries technology, it can be managed!

Schroeder Industries Filter Cart Systems
Schroeder Industries offers up to 10 different types of Filter Cart Systems. All of these carts offer the convenience of mobile use. The mobility allows for easy portability and requires less storage space.
Our filter carts are equipped with high efficiency filter elements to remove solid particulates and/or free water quickly and efficiently. The onboard filtration systems are available in either single (one filter) or staged filtration (two filter) configurations.
Our systems range from simple filtration carts (hose to reservoir, powered on, processed through a filter) to our SMART® carts (diagnostic and SMART® controlled components in addition to the standard filter cart process mentioned above). These include contamination monitoring units such as our CS1220, AS1008 and sensor interfaces for data logging and data transfer.
Various flow rates are available depending on model code selected. Kidney loop systems can also be designed for a particular application.
