As it prepares for CONEXPO, Hydac announced the North American launch of its new SustainMicron, a breakthrough in filtration technology that sets a new industry benchmark for sustainability, performance, and system reliability. This filtration technology delivers up to 30% lower differential pressure than previous generations while maintaining exceptional dirt-holding capacity and filtration efficiency.
By combining the strengths of Optimicron, Optimicron Pulse, and Stat-Free technologies into a single, all-in-one solution, SustainMicron streamlines inventory, replaces multiple product lines, and simplifies system design for demanding industrial and mobile applications.
The filter’s value is further elevated within the context of Fluid Architecture Engineering, the new design discipline from Hydac focused on engineering fluid behavior at the system level. Clean, stable fluid is foundational to predictable hydraulic performance, and SustainMicron supports this architecture by helping control electrostatic discharge, maintain stable contamination levels, and reduce system losses.
“Hydac has always been committed to advancing filtration technology. With SustainMicron, we’re not just improving performance — we’re redefining what’s possible for sustainability and system security,” said Bhavbhuti Pandya, Group Product Manager for Hydac’s Hydraulic & Lube Division.
Key features and benefits include:
- Up to 30% lower differential pressure for improved energy efficiency
- High dirt-holding capacity and filtration performance for extended service life
- Integrated electrostatic discharge protection as a standard feature
- Universal compatibility with existing Optimicron elements for seamless upgrades
- Robust construction for reliability in the most demanding environments
SustainMicron is designed for industrial OEMs, mobile equipment manufacturers, MRO distributors, and end users in power generation, manufacturing, and heavy equipment sectors. Typical applications include hydraulic filtration, oil conditioning, and fuel filtration in any system requiring high reliability and sustainability.
Hydac will showcase elements of its Fluid Architecture Engineering approach at CONEXPO 2026, March 3-7, with demonstrations focused on deaeration, fluid stability, and sustainable filtration, including SustainMicron. In-booth presentations include:
- “SustainMicron Element Lab” — An interactive demonstration showing how cleaner, more stable fluid, lower differential pressure, and reduced electrostatic discharge contribute to longer component life and improved system reliability.
- “Invisible Threat Detector” — A condition-monitoring showcase revealing how fluid-borne contamination and instability emerge before hardware degradation, reinforcing how advanced filtration supports long-term performance.
