LOFCLEAR

Summary

Product Identification

LOFCLEAR filter bags offer absolute filtration, suitable for applications where cost previously limited options to standard bags. They are designed to prevent surface blockage and breakthrough often seen with standard filter bag materials, particularly effective for removing gelatinous contaminants.

Two series are available:

• Series 100: Features a multi-layer construction for applications prioritizing high efficiency.
• Series 500: Utilizes a pleated construction to increase surface area, ideal for applications requiring high dirt capacities and long life.

Materials of Construction

LOFCLEAR filter bags are made from 100% pure polypropylene materials, compliant with food requirements. They contain no leachables or lubricants like silicone oils.

LOFCLEAR Series 100 Filter Bags feature a proven three-layer construction:

• Polypropylene prefilter
• Meltblown polypropylene microfiber final filter
• Polypropylene outer migration barrier

LOFCLEAR Series 500 Filter Bags have an all-welded multi-pleated construction, including a pleated prefiltration layer and complex final filtration layers. An outer web covering eliminates downstream fiber migration.

Performance Characteristics

LOFCLEAR filter bags offer excellent oil adsorbancy.

LOFCLEAR Series 100 Filter Bags:

• Efficiencies: >99% over a wide range of particle sizes.
• Dirt Capacity: Up to 1/2 pound.

LOFCLEAR Series 500 Filter Bags:

• Efficiencies: 95% to 99%.
• Dirt-Holding Capacity: Over 2 pounds.
• Pleated prefilter provides a large surface area (about 32 sq ft) for collecting gels and solids.

Filtration Ratings

The LOFCLEAR filter bags provide filtration efficiency confirmed by an independent test laboratory. The datasheet includes a table detailing particle size removal efficiencies at >60%, >90%, >95%, and >99% for various filter models (e.g., 113/123, 114/124, 522, 525). It also provides pressure drop (ΔP) values for Size 02 bags at 45 gpm.

See the official PDF for exact tabulated values.

Applications

General LOFCLEAR Applications:

• Oil removal in paint and coatings industries.

LOFCLEAR Series 100 Applications:

• High-purity fluids with low particulate concentration.
• First-pass guard filtration.
• Oil adsorption.
• Activated carbon removal.
• Models 128 and 129: Specifically developed for filtration of electro-coatings in the automotive industry, allowing pigments to pass while retaining impurities and removing silicones and other crater-forming substances.
• Model 130: Adds extra adsorption capacity for retaining high amounts of oils or other crater-forming substances.
• Model 135: Delivers high removal of particulate and oils for clearcoat applications where pigment removal is not an issue.

LOFCLEAR Series 500 Applications:

• Oils, slurries.
• Dilute oil removal.
• Re-circulating batch systems.
• Systems with heavy contamination.

Mechanical / Hydraulic

LOFCLEAR Series 100 Filter Bags:

Product Codes

The product codes for LOFCLEAR filter bags follow a structured nomenclature (e.g., LCR-113-T01E-25L, LCR-522-T02Z-04X). These codes specify the model series, micron rating, bag cover layer, bag material, size, collar/ring type, and packaging quantity.

See the official PDF for a comprehensive cross-reference table chart for Eaton filters nomenclature. Please note that not all models are actually produced or in stock, and some model numbers and names may be obsolete.
