Oil Filter Cartridge Afriso 20038 plastic 50–70 µm for oil filtration

The Afriso Oil Filter Cartridge 20038 is a plastic replacement element designed for oil filtration with a rated filtration fineness of 50–70 µm. It is intended for use in lubrication and hydraulic oil systems to remove particulate contamination and protect system components from wear caused by solid particles. The cartridge fits into compatible filter housings as a service part for regular maintenance, contributing to stable operation and extended equipment life.

Advantages

The plastic construction provides chemical resistance to common lubricants and oils while keeping the element lightweight. The 50–70 µm filtration rating balances particle retention with flow capacity, reducing the risk of clogging under normal operating conditions. As a direct replacement cartridge, it simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime by allowing straightforward element exchange without modifications to the filtration system.

Suitable for

• Removal of solid particles from lubricating oil systems
• Hydraulic oil contamination control in industrial equipment
• Routine service and replacement in compatible filter housings
• Preventive maintenance to reduce wear on pumps, valves and bearings

Key specifications

• Material: plastic filter body and media components suitable for oil contact
• Filtration rating: 50–70 micrometers (µm)
• Form factor: cartridge element for in-line or housing-mounted filters
• Application medium: lubricating and hydraulic oils

How to use

Install the cartridge into a compatible Afriso or equivalent filter housing following the housing manufacturer’s service instructions. Ensure the system is depressurized and cooled as required before opening the housing. Remove the used element, inspect the housing for contaminants or damage, and insert the new cartridge in the correct orientation. Reassemble the housing, restore system pressure, and check for leaks and correct oil flow before returning the system to full operation.

Usage recommendations

Replace the cartridge at regular maintenance intervals or when pressure drop across the filter indicates clogging. Use the 50–70 µm rating where a balance between particle removal and flow rate is required; for finer contamination control, select a cartridge with a lower micron rating. Store spare cartridges in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and aggressive chemicals.
