Blu Zac – Technical profile of an industrial filtration equipment manufacturer

Blu Zac is an Italian manufacturer of industrial filtration equipment, with more than 30 years of design and manufacturing experience in high-performance filtration components. The Philippopoulos S.A. range includes Blu Zac duplex filters for process fluids and oils, intended to protect pumps, valves and machinery from particles and contamination.

Blu Zac equipment is relevant where filtration must be maintained without interrupting the process. Duplex filters are typically used when one filter chamber can remain in service while the other is isolated for cleaning or cartridge replacement.

Main technical applications include:

  • lubrication oil systems,
  • hydraulic oil systems,
  • process fluids,
  • cooling circuits,
  • pump protection,
  • valve and actuator protection,
  • machinery protection from solid contamination.

Selection should be based on:

  • flow rate,
  • fluid viscosity,
  • operating pressure and temperature,
  • filtration degree,
  • clean and dirty pressure drop,
  • body and filter element material,
  • drain / vent arrangement,
  • differential pressure monitoring,
  • maintenance access,
  • continuous operation requirement.

For maintenance engineers and process engineers, Blu Zac filtration equipment should be evaluated as part of the reliability strategy of rotating equipment and sensitive downstream components.
