Range of filtration solutions available across Southern Africa

A range of hydraulic filters such as breather filters, tank mounted filters/return line filters, inline filters, block mounting filters, suction and replacement cartridge filters, and filter elements are available for industrial and mobile hydraulic applications.

Hytec Fluid Technology (HFT) now offers the Hengst range of hydraulic filters, as well as the OPM-II oil cleanliness monitor and the WGM-Aqua Sensor, from the Hengst range of condition monitoring solutions.

Following the acquisition of Rexroth Filtration by Hengst Filtration in 2021, HFT recently announced that it has been appointed the sole distributor of Hengst Filtration products to customers across sub-Saharan Africa.  

“The filtration product range remains, the exception being the VacuClean,” explains HFT GM Sandor Bottyan. “These products are manufactured in the same factory by the same specialists, but now carry the Hengst branding.” The part numbers for items currently in market and on file will remain the same; the product packaging will bear a new seal, stating ‘Formerly Rexroth Filtration’”.

The company notes that it extends the same support to the new range as it did to Bosch Rexroth Filtration products. HFT states that the Hengst Filtration Range is its preferred industrial filtration range and is fitted to all hydraulic power unit builds as a standard.

“Hengst Filtration is an ISO accredited organisation, certified compliant with ISO 45001:2018, ISO 14001:2015 and 9001:2015,” states Bottyan, reiterating the manufacturer’s commitment to safety and quality.

Bosch Rexroth’s commitment is that the Hengst products will be the preferred product range, for at least the next five years following the manufacturer’s acquisition of Rexroth Filtration. Hengst and Bosch Rexroth have also contractually agreed to minimum offtake of products and pricing schedules, states Bottyan. HFT is a Bosch Rexroth South Africa Group company.
