The True Cost of Ownership

When it comes to selecting the most appropriate filtration equipment, it's essential to consider the true cost of ownership. While there may be lower cost options available, they often fall short in terms of performance and long-term savings. In this blog, we explore why Pall filters offer advantages that go beyond their initial price.

Lower Differential Pressure and Extended Life:

The lower differential pressure (DP) of our filters results in lower energy costs and longer intervals between filter changes. This makes our filters more cost-effective than maybe initially perceived.

Time and Resource Management:

Furthermore, frequent, unpredictable filter changes can disrupt production and reduce throughput, particularly in critical processes. In today's resource-strapped environment, plant engineers lack the time to constantly monitor and change filters. The longer filters can remain in service, the more time engineers must maintain other equipment. In contrast, low-cost filters from other sources may require frequent support from site or hired service workers that incurs unscheduled downtime and unexpected costs.

Reduced Risk of Contamination:

Opening a filter housing to change a filter element exposes the fluid system to potential contamination. While this risk exists for both Pall filters and other alternatives, reducing the number of filter changes decreases the likelihood of mistakes or introducing contaminants.

Additional Costs to Consider:

Moreover, filter changes involve fluid losses that may require costly replenishment. Proper disposal of filters and waste fluids generated during change-outs can incur handling costs, especially if they are considered hazardous.

So, when evaluating the overall cost of filter ownership, be sure to consider factors beyond the initial replacement element price. Make sure the solution minimizes long-term expenses and offers superior value compared to other sources.

Whilst compatible with Pall filter assemblies that maybe 20 years old and more, Pall’s Supralon replacement filter elements provide users the very latest Pall filter media technology to meet fluid cleanliness requirements quickly, protect hydraulic and lube system assets better and maintain this performance consistently over a long filter service life.  To find out more visit www.pall.com/supralon.
