Mp Filtri

MP Filtri is a world-class Italian manufacturer specializing in hydraulic filtration, fluid conditioning, and contamination monitoring for industrial hydraulic systems. Founded in 1964, the company has grown over six decades into one of the most respected names in hydraulic filtration technology, with products active in more than 60 countries worldwide.

The core MP Filtri range includes return-line filters, pressure filters, suction filters, offline circulation filters, and hydraulic fluid condition systems. Filter elements are available in glass fibre, synthetic media, and metal fibre for filtration ratings from 1 to 100 microns (absolute or nominal). Popular series include the FMM composite filter housings, CS-series cylindrical suction filters, RRR return filter units, and LMP oil level gauges with integrated thermometer.

MP Filtri distinguishes itself through its extensive contamination monitoring product line: the FCU (Fluid Condition Unit) and ICM (Intelligent Contamination Monitor) are compact inline sensors that automatically measure the contamination class of hydraulic oil to ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 standards. This enables predictive maintenance and early detection of system damage before costly failures occur.

All MP Filtri products comply with international standards including ISO 2941, ISO 2942, ISO 3724, and ISO 16889 for filter element testing. Manufacturing takes place in Sulbiate, Italy, with rigorous quality controls and modern test facilities that validate every filter before shipment.

At Verkopershulp.nl we offer over 19,158 genuine MP Filtri parts, including filter housings, replacement elements, pressure indicators, seal kits, and oil level indicators. As an authorized distributor we guarantee authenticity of all products, fast delivery throughout Europe, and access to technical documentation and application advice from our hydraulic specialists.

History

MP Filtri was founded in 1964 in Italy. From a small workshop the company quickly grew into a specialized manufacturer of hydraulic filters for the Italian manufacturing industry. Through the 1970s and 1980s the range expanded into suction, pressure, and return-line filter systems for heavy industrial applications. The 1990s brought international expansion with the opening of sales offices and distribution partners throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. The company invested heavily in R&D and launched its contamination monitoring technology, which became the industry standard for inline hydraulic oil analysis. Today MP Filtri is an internationally operating company with its own manufacturing in Italy and a global distribution network spanning more than 60 countries. The company continually invests in new filter media technologies, IoT integration for its monitoring systems, and environmentally friendly filtration solutions for industrial hydraulic management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What filtration rating should I choose for my hydraulic system? ▾
The choice depends on the sensitivity of the components in your system. Servo valves and variable piston pumps typically require an oil cleanliness class of ISO 16/14/11 or better, requiring filters of 3-6 microns absolute. For less sensitive systems with gear cylinders, 10-25 microns may be sufficient. MP Filtri offers elements in all common micron ratings.
How does the MP Filtri FCU (Fluid Condition Unit) work? ▾
The FCU is a compact inline sensor that automatically counts and classifies particles in hydraulic oil according to ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 standards. The sensor sends a digital signal or 4-20 mA output to a PLC or monitoring system, enabling real-time oil condition monitoring and predictive maintenance planning before system damage occurs.
Are MP Filtri filter elements interchangeable with other brands? ▾
Many MP Filtri replacement elements are dimensionally compatible with filter housings from other manufacturers such as Parker, Hydac, and Pall. For correct replacement, the housing connection dimensions, length, diameter, and required filtration rating are key. Our specialists at Verkopershulp.nl will help you find the correct equivalent.
What does a clogging indicator on an MP Filtri filter mean? ▾
A clogging indicator signals when the filter element is sufficiently saturated that the pressure differential across it exceeds the set threshold. This may be a visual indicator (pop-up), an electrical switch, or an analog signal. On activation the element should be replaced as soon as possible to prevent bypass and system damage.
How often should I replace my MP Filtri filter element? ▾
Replacement interval depends on oil quality, system load, and environmental conditions. As a guideline MP Filtri recommends first replacement after 500 operating hours for new systems, then every 1,000-2,000 hours or when the clogging indicator activates. With FCU monitoring, condition-based maintenance is possible.
Does Verkopershulp.nl supply seal kits for MP Filtri filter housings? ▾
Yes, we supply complete genuine MP Filtri seal kits for all common filter housing models. Kits contain O-rings and seals in NBR, FPM (Viton), or EPDM rubber depending on application and hydraulic fluid type. Specify the filter housing model number when ordering to receive the correct kit.
Can MP Filtri contamination monitoring be integrated with my SCADA system? ▾
Yes, the ICM and FCU series offer various output signals: digital IO, 4-20 mA analog, Modbus RTU, and CANbus. This enables direct integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, and condition monitoring platforms. MP Filtri also supplies the CML3 central monitoring unit for multi-point monitoring in large hydraulic installations.
What is the difference between nominal and absolute filtration rating? ▾
A nominal filtration rating indicates that a certain percentage (e.g. 90%) of particles larger than the stated size are retained - a less precise specification. An absolute filtration rating (beta ratio, e.g. beta10 >= 200) indicates what percentage of particles of that size are actually captured under standardized test conditions (ISO 16889). MP Filtri high-performance elements are always specified in absolute ratings.
