Custom Filter Element Manufacturing

Swift Filters offers a comprehensive suite of custom filter manufacturing options to tailor filter elements and housings to our customers’ requirements.

Our team works closely with our customers from concept to completion, providing personalized guidance, technical expertise, and responsive support every step of the way.
Swift Filters’ filtration experts have over 40 years of experience producing standard and complex solutions using several different approaches, including reverse engineering and precision custom manufacturing to exact specifications.

Flexible to Meet Any Filter Manufacturing Production Volume Need
Our Ohio-based 42,500 sq ft state-of-the-art facility manufacturing can tool up to accommodate any custom filter design from small runs to high volume production scale.
We have built a reputation among our long-term customers of providing quick turnarounds of mission-critical, high-efficiency hydraulic filtration products on an economic scale.

Custom Filter Elements Built to Specification
Trusted Filtration Engineering Expertise
Our team of experienced engineers brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project. We partner with our customers to re-engineer filter elements, leveraging the latest technology and industry best practices to provide optimal solutions in filtration performance, durability, and reliability.

At the core of our manufacturing process lies a commitment to understanding the specific filtration challenges and requirements. We work closely with our customers to assess needs, and then evaluate existing systems to develop tailored solutions that effectively address filtration objectives including:
• System Design Pressure (range)
• System Design Temperature (range)
• Working Fluid
• Inlet/Outlet Connections
• Collapse Pressure
• Materials of Construction

Reverse Engineering
Our reverse engineering process improves the performance over current original equipment (OEM) or other replacement filter element or filtration solution across many key performance characteristics including:
• Improved quality and fabrication integrity
• Lower flow resistance
• Increased pressure-flow performance
• Increased dirt holding capacity

Custom Filter Dimensions and Geometry:
We can manufacture custom filter elements based on requirements for size, shape, and geometry in order to fit seamlessly within your existing equipment or filtration system.
Our long-term collaborative partnerships with customers enable us to deliver superior filtration solutions that drive efficiency, reliability, and significant cost savings.

Improved Filtration Efficiency
Swift Filters provides options to optimize filtration efficiency and particle retention capabilities that best suit each application, from coarse filtration to very fine particulate removal.

Surface Treatments:
We can recommend custom surface treatments such as coatings, pleating, laminating, or electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection to further enhance the performance and durability of filter elements.

End Cap Configuration:
Customize the end cap design, including connections, seals, and fittings, to ensure a secure and leak-free installation.

Filtration Customization Options
Swift Filters Offers A Full Range of High Performing Filter Media Options

Cellulose Filter Media
Our SWIFTCELL™ filter media is made from resin-impregnated cellulose filter media. The filter media is pleated and then assembled into an economical disposable filter media. Our cellulose filter elements are low cost, disposable, and nominally rated.

Microglass Filter Media Options
Coreless Filter Element
Coreless filter elements made with SWIFTGLASS® microglass media are a lighter weight, more environmentally friendly alternative that provide proven long lasting protection to system components. Used in conjunction with a permanent metal core, which is part of the housing, coreless filter elements are easily pulled from the core when plugged.

Water Removal Filter Element
To prevent water from damaging system components, any microglass Swift Filter element can be co-pleated with our SWIFTSORB® water absorber.

Anti-Static Filter Elements
SWIFTDISCHARGE® microglass filter elements employ advanced media technology (carbon impregnated proprietary material) to dissipate triboelectric charges generated via the flow of fluids through media. This exclusive media insures a very low charge across filter media over long periods of time to mitigate discharge sparking.

Stainless Steel Wire Felt Filter Elements
SWIFTMESH® metal felt filter media is made with thin filaments of nonwoven stainless steel. These porous metal felt filter elements are ideal for high pressure, highly corrosive, highly viscous or radioactive applications.

Sintered Metal Media Filter Elements
Sintered metal media can withstand higher pressures than non-metallic filter elements and are self-supporting with versatile casting properties.

Welded Filter Elements
SWIFTMESH® stainless steel, welded construction, woven wire mesh elements are ideally suited for hostile environment applications involving extreme temperatures, high pressures and corrosive fluids.
