FOR A NEW MILLENIUM
Compressed air is an important source of energy in modern industries, often representing
the most vital part in the whole production operation. In today's factory the consequences
of an inefficient or faulty compressed air system can be staggering, causing reduced
efficiency and increased maintenance costs. And as machinery becomes more
sophisticated, and users become more discerning, so the importance
of quality compressed air becomes ever greater.
The new Hiross Hyperfilter 2000 range, fruit of over 35 years
experience in compressed air treatment, meets and exceeds
these stringent needs. Hyperfilter 2000 represents
a new generation in compressed air filtration.
The full range of models and filtration levels; certified
and tested quality standards; the highest performance levels;
reduced operating costs. Together they ensure
that Hyperfilter 2000 more than fulfils the needs
of the new millennium's compressed air stations.

BENEFITS
• protects tools and downstream equipment
• increases efficiency, reduces downtimes
• significantly reduces costs
• full range of models and filtration grades
for all industrial applications
• guaranteed performance levels
Hyperfilter 2000 not only offers the highest
quality levels, it guarantees them. GUARANTEED
Hyperfilter 2000 has already been certified
according to the new PED pressure vessel
QUALITY
approval directive, some 2 years ahead of its
official implementation in 2002.
Hyperfilter 2000 has been designed, manufactu-
red and tested using ISO9001 certified
procedures, and carries the CE mark of quality
(where appropriate according to pressure vessel
directives).

Hyperfilter 2000 has been extensively tested to

ensure it complies with ISO 8573.1 filtration TESTED QUALITY
classifications.
Highest quality filter media is utilised, and every
single batch is tested to ensure it fully satisfies the
prescribed criteria.
Each single filter element is tested to the closest
tolerances to ensure its longevity and construc-
tional integrity.

A full set of accessories adapts Hyperfilter 2000

to all industrial needs. A new style kit allows COMPLETE SET
effortless installation in series of two or more
filters. Wall mounting kits are available for
OF ACCESSORIES
threaded models. Flanged models can be
supplied with counterflanges, or in stainless
steel for aggressive applications.
Special filters, including models for higher
pressures, are available on request.

All threaded models feature unique Hiroshield

surface protection treatment, applied to both with HIROSHIELD

the inside and outside of the Filter housing.
Hiroshield ensures that Hyperfilter 2000 can
PROTECTION
withstand even the toughest industrial
conditions. As a result the Hyperfilter 2000
housing is backed up by a 5 year warranty
(under specified operating conditions).

Furthermore, the software assists with the
calculation of the most energy efficient system.
Your local Hiross partner is fully equipped to
assist in correct filter selection and
maintenance.
A full and extended range of air
connections and air flows,
with 5 filtration grades, ensure
Hyperfilter 2000 covers all
industrial needs.

The new differential pressure

indicator and gauge, visible
from both sides, warn when the
element needs changing.
Both a warning light and
a remote contact are also
available.

The new look housing features a

redesigned inside to reduce
pressure drops even further,
saving energy.

The air-tight seal cannot be opened

when the filter is under pressure,
offering added protection.

The sight glass (up to HFN205)

offers easy verification of correct
filter operation.

The HDI zero-loss drain features

an auto-cleaning protection
screen for highest reliability.
Simply press the drain to verify
its correct operation.
 Hiross REPELS OIL & WATER
element Hyperfilter 2000's filter media features a special
treatment which ensures that the element
actively repels both oil and water.
Compared with typical filters this reduces
pressure drops and, as a consequence, running
costs, as well as ensuring a higher filtration
efficiency.

BOROSILICATE MEDIA
The Borosilicate filter media used in Hyperfilter
2000 offers an extremely high void volume,
lengthening the element's life and cutting energy
costs to a minimum.
Anti re-entrainment barriers ensure there is no
oil carry-over.
The filter material fully complies with ISO 8573.1
filtration grading.

QUALITY ELEMENTS
All elements feature corrosion resistant end caps
and high strength inner and outer supports in
stainless steel. Hyperfilter 2000 elements are
fully compatible with both synthetic and
mineral oils. The element is fitted into
the housing using a tierod, ensuring easy
installation as well as a secure fit.

ELEMENT CHANGES
All Hyperfilter 2000 elements offer low pressure
drops and a long operating life.
In order to ensure long-term optimal filtration it
is however of absolute importance that elements
are regularly substituted by genuine Hiross
replacement elements.
The Hiross filter replacement sticker acts as an
aid in this procedure.

DRY DUST FILTERS

Grade D filters offer optimum dry dust filtra-
tion. Reverse flow maximises the filtration
surface and facilitates dust removal. The ele-
ment life is lengthened and pressure drops are
further reduced, saving energy.
The element has been specially strengthened to
optimise reverse flow operation.

 THE HIDDEN EVIL WITHIN
COMPRESSED AIR
Ambient air contains dirt, oil, moisture and other impurities. When compressed, the air can
contain up to 1000 million particles per cubic metre. Some 80% of these particles
are smaller than 2 micron (a human hair has a diameter of 70 micron).
The Compressor itself will usually add lubricating oil, whilst the pipelines
add rust and scale. This hidden evil can have drastic consequences
in the factory, leading to escalating maintenance costs, lengthy
downtimes, costly tool wear and damaged finished products.
All this can be avoided using Hyperfilter 2000, a complete
range of high efficiency compressed air filters which ensure
that compressed air stations remain clean, downtime
is avoided and production efficiency is maximised.

REMOVE IT
Hyperfilter 2000 utilises a sophisticated multistage
process to guarantee that the compressed air is thoroughly filtered.
In grades D, Q, P and S particles above 1 micron are collected
by direct interception, whereby the particles collide with the filter fibre
and stick to it. Particles between 0,3 and 1 micron are picked up
by inertial impaction, where the particles touch the fibre and cling to it.
Small particles, below 0,3 micron, move across the streamline
by Brownian motion, whereupon they are picked up by the fibre.
Finally, all the collected particles cling to the fibre by coalescence, forming ever
larger droplets which are then forced to the bottom of the element and drained off.
Grade C elements feature an adsorption process, using 4 consecutive mechanisms:
diffusion of organic gas molecules, formation of bonds, successive formation
of molecular layers, and condensation of organic molecules.
