Balston Filters That Drive Performance, Precision, and Protection
At Heap & Partners Ltd, we understand the challenges of running efficient, high-performing industrial operations—whether you’re in the food and beverage sector, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, or analytical instrumentation. Unwanted contaminants like water, oil, and particulates in your air or gas lines can compromise product quality, damage sensitive equipment, and reduce productivity. That’s where Balston Filters come into play.
As official representatives of Parker Hannifin, we supply an extensive range of Balston Filtration Instruments that protect your equipment, optimise performance, and ensure your processes run smoothly. But what sets us and Balston Filters apart is the attention to performance, flexibility, and long-term value.
Balston Filters – The Gold Standard in Industrial Filtration
Balston Filters are engineered to deliver exceptional filtration efficiency—removing 99.99% of 0.01 micron particles and droplets from compressed air and gas systems. Whether you’re dealing with compressed air, steam, or natural gas, the performance speaks for itself.
Each filter system is designed to not only remove contaminants but also maintain flow capacity and pressure, even under heavy use. Once liquids enter the filter, they’re directed to an automatic drain, allowing continuous removal without a drop in efficiency.
From coalescing compressed air filters to sterile air and steam systems, the range is comprehensive, and each product is manufactured to Parker Hannifin’s exacting standards.
Key Balston Filter Product Categories Include:
- Compressed Air and Gas Filters
- Sample Analyser Filters
- Vacuum Pump Exhaust Filters
- Sterile Air Filters
- Steam Filters for Hospitals and Labs
- High Pressure Natural Gas Filters
- Disposable and Replacement Filter Elements
Whether you’re protecting a sensitive analyser or a large-scale production system, there’s a Balston Filter to meet your needs.
Protect Equipment and Minimise Downtime
Efficiency begins with reliability. Balston Filters help reduce wear and tear on downstream equipment by removing contaminants that would otherwise accumulate and cause faults or degradation over time. For example:
- Balston Coalescing Filters protect valves and instruments from water, oil, and particulates in compressed air lines.
- Vacuum Pump Exhaust Filters eliminate visible oil mist, even under saturated conditions, preventing atmospheric contamination and maintenance issues.
- Gas and Liquid Sample Filters ensure analysers receive clean samples, improving accuracy and extending the life of sensors.
At Heaps, we’ve seen how clients benefit from reduced unplanned downtime, fewer repair costs, and improved operational consistency simply by integrating the correct filtration at the right stage.
Application-Specific Solutions from Heaps
Our clients span a wide range of industries, and their filtration requirements are never identical. That’s why we work closely to understand your process and specify the right filter type and media.
Some real-world examples:
- Food and Beverage Manufacturers rely on sterile air filters to prevent bacteria and particulates from contaminating products during packaging or mixing stages.
- Analytical Laboratories use sample filters to prevent solid and liquid impurities from distorting gas chromatography results.
- Petrochemical Plants implement high-pressure natural gas filters, which are ASME code stamped up to 1440 psig, to ensure equipment reliability and personnel safety.
If you’re unsure which filter is right for your application, our experienced technical team (with over 700 years of combined industry experience) is here to help. We’re proud to offer market-leading expertise and tailored support at every stage of the process.
Balston Filter Elements – The Backbone of Effective Filtration
Filter housings are only as effective as the elements inside them. That’s why Parker Balston has developed a wide range of replacement filter cartridges for various conditions and performance needs:
- X-Type Cartridges: Ideal for solids and suspended liquids in gas; offer high chemical and thermal resistance.
- Q-Type Cartridges: Great for particulate removal in both gas and liquid service.
- H-Type Quartz Cartridges: Specifically designed for oxygen service and ultra-high-temperature dry gas filtering.
- M-Type Stainless Steel Sintered Cartridges: Suitable for high solid loads and heavy viscous liquids.
- Vapour Removal Cartridges: Use activated carbon to absorb oil vapour—ideal for cleanroom or laboratory environments.
These cartridges are built for precision, durability, and ease of maintenance. With the right combination of housing and element, you’ll achieve consistent results while simplifying filter changes.
