Air and Fluid Filter Maintenance and Replacement for Aircraft
Aircraft filters, including those for hydraulic fluid, fuel, oil, and cabin air, have different maintenance requirements and lifespans. Some filters can be cleaned and reused multiple times, while others need to be completely replaced at specific intervals.
Global Filtration can help you optimize your filter maintenance process to find strategies that save on maintenance costs. Our expertise includes:
- Identifying reusable filters: We can help you determine which filters in your aircraft can be cleaned and reused, maximizing their lifespan and reducing the need for replacements.
- Developing a customized cleaning process: We’ll work with you to establish a safe and effective cleaning process that meets regulatory standards and ensures optimal filter performance.
- Providing replacement filters: When your filters reach the end of their service life, we offer a wide selection of PMA-certified replacement options.
Maintaining Metal Fiber Hydraulic Filters
Unlike old-school filters, metal fiber filters can be cleaned and reused multiple times – typically four or five times before needing replacement. This saves you money and reduces waste. We can undertake filter cleaning on your behalf with our specialized equipment.
Filter Cleaning Services for You
We provide filter cleaning and maintenance services on demand. Our cleaning processes meet OSHA safety regulations, conform to FCC rules and regulations, and facilitate compliance with EPA standards.
We perform ultrasonic cleaning with top-of-the-line Stoelting™ equipment to thoroughly remove contaminants from your filters. This process extends filter life, saving you money compared to buying new ones. It’s also fast, helping to minimize downtime.
Aircraft Filtration Replacement Schedules
Staying on top of standard filtration replacement schedules is a crucial part of aircraft maintenance. Filters are essential for keeping contaminants out of engines, hydraulics, and fuel lines, as well as maintaining healthy air inside the cabin. An old or clogged filter can restrict fluid or airflow, leading to decreased performance, overheating, and potential damage to components. In some cases, it can even lead to system failure and safety hazards.
Replacement timelines differ based on the type of aircraft (commercial, regional, corporate, general, and rotorcraft), operating conditions, and system design for:
