Transmission and Hydraulic Filtration

The age-old question of “How clean is clean?” has been answered by the universal acceptance of a standardized test method to determine a media’s Beta Ratio. Beta Ratios precisely describe how efficient a media is at removing certain-size particles. The test procedures used to determine “micron ratings” were not standardized and could be easily manipulated.

Fluid power applications are growing at a very rapid rate. WIX Filters is constantly researching these applications and adding new products to meet our customers’ needs. Our newest product offering is a line of industrial hydraulic filters. Whether your fluid-power filtration needs are for mobile or industrial applications, WIX is your source for hydraulic and transmission filters.

Whether the filter is cartridge or spin-on style, WIX fluid-power filters utilize heavy-gauge steel componentry that is tin plated to resist corrosion. Our filters’ center tubes are spiral wound for consistent internal structural integrity. The base plates of our spin-on-style filters contain optimized inlet-hole geometry and rolled, internal threads for strength and easy installation. Our sealing-gasket materials are specifically designed for use with hydraulic and transmission fluids.

To insure the correct performance levels are achieved, our fluid-power filters make use of Prescription Filtration®. This means our customers can be assured that when they purchase a WIX brand fluid-power filter, the media used in the filter is specifically designed for their application, and it will perform to their expectations. Complete media performance information, as prescribed by current SAE/ISO Beta Ratio testing methods, is either printed on the filter itself or available upon request.

Customers and technicians who are involved with fluid-power applications consistently use fluid analysis as a preventive, predictive maintenance tool. WIX offers a nationwide, professional fluid analysis program for both mobile and industrial fluids. The industrial service includes particle counting to insure expensive equipment is being properly maintained.
