NEW PATCH IMAGING KIT FROM MP FILTRI
NEW PATCH IMAGING KIT FROM MP FILTRI
MP Filtri has just launched its new Patch Imaging Kit for customers.
Designed as the perfect complement to MP Filtri’s portable and inline particle counters which offer a highly accurate, real-time inspection of contaminants in fluids, the new Patch Imaging Kit inlcudes a digital microscope that enables operators to assess these particles under a microscope and identify potential sources of contamination.
The kit enables fast and accurate fluid sample tests, and by capturing the contaminants on a patch, allows detailed analysis to be carried through the digital microscope included in the package – measuring, recording and assessing individual particles.
By analysing their make-up and composition, it is possible to isolate the cause of wear and tear within a system – with rubber particles suggesting hose decomposition, while metal elements reveal wear and tear on pumps or components.
By flagging up specific causes of decomposition, maintenance teams can replace worn components, protecting complex systems, extending service lifespans and reducing both maintenance costs and downtime.
Key features and benefits of the new Patch Imaging Kit include:
- High-performance digital microscope, offering magnification up to 400x
- Sophisticated software enabling the measurement and analysis of individual particles
- Full patch testing kit apparatus making it easy to take samples quickly and accurately
- Windows-based software for problem-free installation onto PCs and laptops
- Easy to master without the need for formal training
THE NEW MP FILTRI HQ RECALIBRATION SERVICE HAS AN EXTRA EDGE
THE NEW MP FILTRI HQ RECALIBRATION SERVICE HAS AN EXTRA EDGE
A new machine has recently joined our R&D centre at HQ: a new test bench dedicated to the recalibration of contamination monitoring devices.
Why is recalibration of a particle counter necessary?
MP Filtri particle counters work with light beam extinction technology; solid contaminant particles in the oil are counted and classified by size based on the electrical signal detected by the light photo-receptor which recognises them as shadows.
The recalibration verifies and realigns the operation of the photo-receptor; the new test bench has the function of maintaining the test liquid, an oil with verified characteristics, in a constant condition of calibrated contamination; the size and quantity of particles of this suspension are known.
MP Filtri‘s recalibration software automatically adjusts the electronic counting system to the target value if necessary.
The combined test bench + software system also performs diagnostics of all instrument operating characteristics and, where applicable, indicates which parts or components need to be replaced.
This efficient system also allows a customer to return and receive their instrument without losing their own settings.
The recalibration service is carried out within a week. Each customer can personally book the service online, via the ” Tools – Recalibration Service” section.
Instrument recalibration is carried out according to ISO 11171 and the test bench is certified according to ISO 11943.
Once all checks have been completed, the customer is issued with a calibration certificate, which is valid for one year, to confirm that the product is functioning correctly and that the readings taken are calibrated.
NEW ROTAFIT COUPLING GOES LIVE
NEW ROTAFIT COUPLING GOES LIVE
MP Filtri has just launched its new Rotafit coupling, offering customers a perfect combination of strength, compatibility, and performance.
Interchangeable with all major competitors’ models, Rotafit is incredibly robust, delivering consistent and reliable power transmission and exceptional recovery of radial and axial misalignments.
Designed and manufactured to DIN 740 / 2 standards, Rotafit is a complete integrated system with low noise and low vibration thanks to its two couplings which cover the spider.
Rotafit is fully interchangeable with a comprehensive range of pumps and motors with cylindrical or splined shafts. Customers can choose between aluminium, cast iron, or steel designs, with a special model created for potentially explosive environments and ATEX 2014/34/EU certified.
NEW AVIATION EDITION LPA3 LAUNCHED BY MP FILTRI
NEW AVIATION EDITION LPA3 LAUNCHED BY MP FILTRI
MP Filtri’s latest incarnation of the LPA3 has been created for use with aggressive fluids making it an ideal support tool for aviation ground support and maintenance teams.
The new ‘Aviation’ edition can now be used with Skydrol1 and HyJet2 and has been upgraded for the aviation industry with specialist seals, a new internal architecture, and a new firmware suite. It is also ideal for powerplants and has all the functionality of the standard edition.
The LPA3 will soon be enhanced with a 2021 version of MP Filtri’s LPA View software platform, which is currently in development, offering a modern interface and detailed trend analysis, helping operators pinpoint risks of particle contamination and act immediately, reducing unplanned maintenance and costs.
Downtime currently costs the aviation industry around £14 Billion a year worldwide and by ensuring maximum utilisation of an airline company’s fleet, the LPA3 can save aviation companies money as well as protecting their customer’s multi-million pound capital investment.
Featuring innovative optical and photodiode technology providing complete 8 channel measurement, the LPA3 delivers an accurate and comprehensive hydraulic health check – while its real-time monitoring and proactive maintenance technology safeguards machinery, enhances performance and productivity, and reduces unplanned downtime.
Key features include:
- Fully portable at just 10kg – enabling operators in all industries to enjoy the functionality of the lab even when out in the field
- A programmable 10.1” full colour capacitive touch-screen display with no need for a stylus
- Greater storage capacity -results from up to 4000 tests retained in memory
- Robust and durable co-polymer body case
- Sophisticated yet simple to use software developed in-house specifically for the LPA3
- Instant results download via USB
- Long-life lithium-ion battery
- Optional thermal printer
- Accuracy to ± 1/2 code for 4, 6, 14μm(c
Designed for professionals, the new LPA3 features a comprehensive range of reporting formats, so wherever an operator is working and whatever standards used, the LPA3 has it covered. Reporting standards include: ISO 4406; NAS 1638; AS4059 (various); GBT14039; GJB420B and more.
The LPA3 can also be personalised for peak performance with operators able to tailor: sample volumes, flush sizes and the number of tests run consecutively. The LPA3 is capable of completing the 100ml sample test in around one minute.

MP FILTRI’S SIZING SOFTWARE
MP FILTRI’S SIZING SOFTWARE
Easy, quick and intuitive to use. These are the features which best describe MP Filtri`s selection software. Although the software was first developed 10 years ago a huge effort has just been made to revise, revamp, and modernise the program – with huge strides forward in graphics and functionality.
Available to customers at the MP Filtri website, the program offers a general overview of the product range, without needing to consult the catalogue. Customers are guided through sequential steps to find the specific product they are looking for.
When the search involves filters, it is vital to enter required application data such as: system pressure, flow rate, operating temperature, oil type and viscosity – ensuring the most appropriate filter calculation. As far as the search for components is concerned, the user will only have to enter the model, or the type of pump or the motor data for shaft couplings, spider and bellhousing results.
The modernisation of this online facility ensures important key features are retained: such as the summary report of the selected product together with technical data and dimensional drawings.
This fully automated digital service has been created to help customers find the information they are looking for quickly and easily, ensuring MP Filtri offers exceptional service and is easy to do business with.
