Parker to launch latest filtration solutions at SMM 2008

With 45,000 visitors from all over the world, and 1600 exhibitors, SMM is the ideal environment for Parker to launch its latest filtration products, designed to ensure the reliability of essential on-deck and below-deck machinery. Developed in partnership with major vessel operators across the globe, Parker’s innovative solutions can help increase profitability considerably, giving users a valuable competitive edge.

On the Parker stand will be its new DFF40, a medium pressure duplex filter with Eco elements, which can be serviced from the top or bottom for flexibility of installation. The DFF40 is ideal as a fuel filter for diesel engines up to 10MW, as a lubricating filter for gearboxes and propulsion systems, or in hydraulics as a medium pressure duplex/in-line return duplex filter.

Also on the Parker stand will be a customised solution based on the 38P high pressure duplex filter. The system is designed to offer compact and reliable filtration for hydraulic ship bow thruster units. To ensure the filter element can be changed safely, the duplex filter is supplied with a change-over valve with zero-leakage seal technology. Also integrated into the filter unit are process instrumentation for flow and element condition monitoring, and fluid sample points.

SMM will take place in Hamburg between September 23 and 26. Parker’s experts will be on hand in Hall A4, on stand 255, to introduce the company’s latest products and answer all your filtration related questions.
