Welcome to Nichiboku's industrial Blog
Introduction
The Masuda Seisakusho FS Series Suction Line Filter is designed to deliver reliable and long-lasting filtration for hydraulic systems. With a compact and lightweight construction, this filter provides exceptional flow characteristics and ease of maintenance. Built upon the foundation of Japanese precision engineering, it ensures optimal system protection against contaminants and extended equipment life.

Compact Design and High Filtration Performance
The FS Series achieves the ideal balance between compactness, durability, and high performance. Its simplified internal structure reduces flow resistance while maintaining stable filtration efficiency. The top-mounted configuration makes it suitable for compact hydraulic tank installations.
Key Features
Lightweight and compact structure (approx. half the weight of conventional filters)
Simple element removal and installation
Internal design reduces pressure loss
Bypass valve included for system protection
Visual clogging indicator standard (electrical indicator optional)
Optional mounting bracket for flexible setup
