Velcon Filters, Inc. has been providing liquid filtration and separation solutions for aviation and industrial applications for over 50 years. For over 30 years our oil and fuel filters have also been used in the electrical utility industry. Velcon filters, filter systems and filtration equipment are known worldwide as the best quality filters, providing customers with clean dry jet fuel, avgas, diesel fuel, transformer oil, and many other oils and solvents.

Aviation Jet Fuel Filter / Separators

Velcon Filters supply coalescers and separator cartridges for use in Aviation Jet Fuel Filter / Separators

Velcon Filters, Inc has developed a number of coalescers and separators qualified to API/EI (API/IP formerly) 1581 5th Edition. The coalescers are part numbers I-6xxC5 (TB), I-6xxMM, and I-6xxA4 Series. Coalescers, the first stage of filtration, incorporate multi-layered pleated media designed to provide superior dirt holding capacity in the field, combined with 0.4 micron efficiency, and are available in either threaded base or open-end configuration. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1732.

The separators, SO-6xxV5, SO-6xxPV5, and SO-6xxVA5, are Teflon® coated screen cartridges. To achieve optimum flow distribution in the second stage of filtration, these cartridges incorporate a variable hole pattern inner tube combined with a uniform hole pattern outer tube specifically designed for installation in vertical filter / separators. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1521.

Vel-Max™ Flexible, Compact Filtration for diesel, Biodiesel, Jet fuel and Kerosene

The compact Vel-Max Filter Vessel is a flexible, compact filtration system suitable for flow rates up to 200 gpm, depending on the application. The Vel-Max can be used on mobile refueling equipment, fuelling cabinets and for fixed fuelling installations, for jet fuel, avgas, diesel and biodiesel fuels, motor gasoline and kerosene filtration. Vel-Max is designed for easy maintenance and easy conversion to a prefilter, filter/separator, or monitor, depending on which type of filtration cartridges are placed inside. Its features include carbon steel construction and an epoxy coated interior and exterior. Please refer to Velcon data sheet # 1961.

Fuel Contaminant Analyzer

The Velcon Contaminant Analyzer (VCA™) is a laser sensing device that detects water and solids in fuels for a final stage quality check downstream of the last filtration. The VCA™ fuel contaminant analyzer uses specialized sensing technology and a microprocessor to insure that the fuel being loaded onto the aircraft or other vehicle is clean and dry.  In the presence of wet and/or dirty fuel, the system will shut down the fuelling operation. Alerts to the user will prevent no more than a minimal amount of wet or dirty fuel reaching the plane. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1964.

Flow Differential Pressure Module (FDPM)

Velcon’s Flow Differential Pressure Module (FDPM™) takes the guesswork out of calculating normalized (corrected) DP in filtration systems

When a filtration system is operated at lower than the maximum flow rate of a vessel, it is important to calculate the normalized differential pressure for the actual flow rate. Velcon’s FDPM™ (Flow Differential Pressure Module) eliminates the complicated calculation normally necessary by automatically calculating the condition of the filters inside a vessel with the inputs of differential pressure and flow-rate.

The FDPM™ removes the human element involved in taking the necessary data, making the calculation, and deciding what to do with that information. It has an automatic cut-off that will stop flow as soon as filters have exceeded their life cycle, with no need to continuously monitor their condition. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1966
