The aviation industry has high standards regarding technology, control systems, and the media used. This also applies to hydraulic oil, which must meet high purity and high temperature resistance.

To ensure that the hydraulic oil produced meets these standards, a special filter was developed that guarantees high-quality hydraulic oil, free from undesirable solid particles.

The filter basket is installed at the end of the loading arm, at the filling head, and is equipped with a quick-change coupling. In the final process step, the pig conveys the medium directly into the filling head and the connected filter basket. This is an example of a demanding pigging process, which extends directly into the tanker.
