Pure.Function: Cost-effective filtration for demanding standard hydraulic applications

In hydraulic filtration, another factor is increasingly moving into focus alongside pure filtration performance: cost-efficiency. Particularly in standard hydraulic applications—such as machine tools, injection molding machines, presses, and numerous other industrial uses—what ultimately matters is how reliably and cost-effectively a filter element performs throughout its entire service life. With Pure.Function, Hengst Filtration is launching a product line designed specifically for this purpose.

The starting point: Standard applications have clear requirements

 ​

  • stable operating conditions
  • the use of mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids
  • predictable maintenance intervals

The primary focus here is on reliable oil cleanliness that effectively protects hydraulic components—combined with cost-effective operation. Special requirements—such as those needed for flame-retardant or synthetic hydraulic fluids, or for electrostatic discharge (ESD) filter media—usually play no role in these applications.

This is precisely where Pure.Function comes in: The product line was specifically developed for these standard requirements—not as a stripped-down version, but as a solution precisely tailored to actual needs.

Efficient filtration, precisely engineered

Technically, Pure.Function is based on an optimized, 5-layer media structure. High-quality glass fiber media, a robust support structure, and galvanized components work together to ensure:

  • filtration performance compliant with ISO 16889
  • low differential pressure for energy-efficient operation
  • reliable oil cleanliness to protect sensitive hydraulic components

Hengst Pure.Function Filterelement

At a glance, the technical profile looks like this:

  • βx(c) ≥ 200 – retention rate according to ISO 16889 
  • Low differential pressure for high energy efficiency 
  • ISO 2941 – tested pressure stability 
  • 6 / 10 / 20 µm – available filtration ratings 

This combination makes it clear: Pure.Function focuses consistently on the filtration properties that determine performance—without unnecessary technical overhead, but with exactly the performance that standard applications actually require.


Five operational advantages that convince

Balanced performance: Reliable, standards-compliant filtration for standard hydraulic applications. The optimized media structure strikes a balance between oil cleanliness and energy efficiency.

Reliable service life: Pure.Function is specifically designed for predictable maintenance intervals—a key factor for industrial operational planning.

Broad interchangeability: Thanks to an extensive portfolio, Pure.Function filter elements can be integrated into many existing systems or used as a cost-effective alternative to numerous standard and competitor elements.

Cost-effective filtration: Standards-compliant filtration performance meets an attractive price-performance ratio—backed by proven Hengst quality.

Worldwide availability: Hengst’s global sales and service network ensures short lead times and reliable supply, wherever Pure.Function is used.
