The range expansion is the result of Bosch Rexroth’s acquisition of K & H Eppensteiner GmbH & Co in 2009, one of Europe’s most established filter manufacturers. As a result, the Eppensteiner range of filtration products is now being rebranded Bosch Rexroth and being made available in the UK.The breadth of the range covers all aspects of filtration with high flow rates and several pressure ranges in return and pressure types such as inline, manifold, tank mounted, duplex and all with indication options. They can be applied to a range of applications, from agriculture through to rail, mobile and industrial. The new product portfolio also contains all filter accessories, including filter programs, oil purification, measuring instruments and specific condition monitoring systems. Crucially, the expanded range will include the award winning LE (N) 0040-0400 series filtration system, which has an innovative filter head design resulting in a ‘cyclone effect’ which diverts the inlet flow in a specific direction which enhances the flow properties and dirt absorption capacity. In addition, the filter also boasts a newly designed bowl which improves element mounting and stability which keeps the element in place ensuring constant pressure distribution.Chris Gray, Filtration Product Manager for Bosch Rexroth, commented: “The expansion of the Bosch Rexroth product portfolio into filtration enables our UK customers to access a complete hydraulic package from a single source. Filtration has been a clear gap in the Bosch Rexroth hydraulics portfolio which I am delighted to say has now been filled with the highest quality filtration products.”
