Engineering Legacy of Italian MP Filtri S.p.A. in Hydraulic Filtration
Founded in 1964 by Bruno Pasotto in Pessano con Bornago near Milan, MP Filtri S.p.A. has developed over six decades into a premier global designer and manufacturer of hydraulic filtration equipment, fluid contamination monitoring devices, and reservoir accessories.
The company concentrates its specialized engineering expertise exclusively on fluid power cleanliness, mineral and synthetic oil purification, and condition monitoring.
Operating four state-of-the-art production and testing complexes across Lombardy, Italy—including non-ferrous foundry operations, CNC precision machining centres, and an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory—MP Filtri serves mobile plant OEMs and stationary manufacturing plants worldwide via nine
international subsidiaries in France, Germany, the UK, the USA, Canada, China, India, Singapore, and Brazil.
Optimized Multi-Stage Hydraulic Protection: Suction, Return, and High-Pressure Lines
Modern hydraulic systems demand comprehensive multi-stage contamination barriers.
MP Filtri SF2 semi-submerged suction filters incorporate automatic mechanical anti-drain shut-off valves, permitting dry cartridge servicing below fluid level without emptying bulk storage, while STR wire mesh strainers prevent cavitation damage to axial piston and gear pumps during cold-start high
viscosity periods.
Semi-immersed tank-top return filters (MPF, MPT, and heavy-duty MPH series rated to 10 bar) feature integral submerged diffusers preventing oil aeration and foaming, alongside high-intensity magnetic sludge separators.
For critical servo-hydraulic circuits, FHP, FHM, and duplex FMD pressure filters utilize forged steel or GJS 400 ductile iron bodies engineered for continuous 420 bar working pressure and cyclical impulse resistance up to 600 bar.
Microfibre Matrix Media and Absolute Beta Multipass Filtration Performance
MP Filtri CU, MF, MR, HP, and spin-on CS/CG replacement filter elements employ multi-layered synthetic inorganic microfibre media (A03, A06, A10, A16, and A25 micron ratings).
Unlike conventional cellulose paper, synthetic microfibre maintains calibrated pore geometries under cyclic pressure surges and achieves an absolute filtration ratio of βx(c) ≥ 1000 in accordance with ISO 16889 standards (99.9% separation efficiency).
For extreme pressure differential scenarios without bypass valve opening, high-strength HP series filter elements withstand differential crush pressures up to 210 bar, providing guaranteed safety for proportional valves, servo drives, and closed-loop hydrostatic transmissions.
