Filtertechnik is excited to announce the launch of the next generation of its award-winning Particle Pal, now known as the FS9V2 Particle Pal range. This innovative product is particularly significant for hydraulic machine suppliers, as it introduces advanced features designed to enhance fluid analysis and monitoring in hydraulic systems. One of the standout features of the FS9V2 Particle Pal is its combined LCD screen, which displays all connected sensors in real-time. This enhancement allows users to easily monitor multiple parameters simultaneously, streamlining the data collection process. Additionally, the built-in memory enables the device to store critical information, which can be transferred live to a PC for further analysis, facilitating improved maintenance and operational efficiency. The FS9V2 also features an upgraded internal gear pump that ensures a pressurized fluid path, crucial for accurate sampling and analysis in high-pressure hydraulic systems. The device is equipped with a versatile input for sampling directly from tanks or bottles, providing flexibility for hydraulic machine suppliers who require adaptable solutions for different operational scenarios. Moreover, the live connection capability to pressurized systems up to 350 Bar via a specialized High-Pressure Adaptor enhances the device’s utility, making it an indispensable tool for monitoring fluid quality under various conditions.

Battery life has been significantly improved, extending to six hours or more depending on the fluid being tested. This feature is particularly beneficial for hydraulic machine suppliers who need reliable equipment that can operate for extended periods without frequent recharging. The Particle Pal can accurately measure fluids ranging from diesel to oils at 420 cSt at room temperature, with the added capability to assess higher viscosities if the oil is pre-heated to 50 °C. In summary, the FS9V2 Particle Pal from Filtertechnik represents a significant advancement in fluid monitoring technology for hydraulic systems. Its comprehensive features make it a valuable tool for hydraulic machine suppliers, ensuring that they can deliver high-quality, reliable solutions to their customers while maintaining optimal performance in hydraulic applications.
