A portrait of Krone Filter Solutions GmbH, Germany

Who are we?company

We, Krone Filter Solutions, are a global, leading filter manufacturer from Oyten, Germany.

What can we do and what do we offer?

We are proven specialists in the filtration of all liquids. The heart of our philosophy: all our filters are developed and manufactured by us. We thus ensure that they always meet our own high standards of quality and guarantee best filter solutions.With our filters, you protect your most important system parts effectively from soiling.

Constantly increased quality requirements industrial and process-related soiling make filtration an indispensable process step.

Why is our business important?

Filtration protects the value we create as it protects technical equipment from wear and destruction

Filtration improves the quality of materials and is often necessary to make them

usable. Filtration reduces consumption, thus allowing limited resources to be used economically

Filtration helps maintain the basis of life by ensuring that unwanted contami-nants are kept out of the cycle of nature.

Founded in 1990 as Krone Filter by the mechanical engineer Rainer Krone, the company was constantly growing – and developed 3 industrial divisions:• Industrial filtration• exhaust gas aftertreatment products plus sales and installation of catalytic

conver ters, diesel particulate filters and SCR system• and acted as german dealership of MANN+HUMMEL automotive filtration

History1990 2005

The principle of filtration is simple and omnipresent in our daily life: a liquid passes through a filter element whose mesh, openings or pores are dimensioned to prevent specific, unwanted particles from getting through. At industrial level, this requires a command of complex processes which are influenced by various material qualities and environmental conditions.

These solutions include quantity, pressure, temperature, density, viscosity, corrosiveness, the level of contamination, particle size and the type of medium being filtered.

Years of systematic research into these influential factors and their interaction enable us to offer a series of filter systems for various applications and fields which are guaranteed to maximise performance, reliability and protection.

As result of the strong international growth and global business in the division Indus trial filtration. Krone Filter Solutions was formed in 2009 and moved to much larger manufacturing facilities in Oyten Germany. The company is in private ownership.Krone Filter Solutions developed to a strong international solution provider in liquid filtration and is present worldwide with it´s trademarks Krone Filter®, Bernoulli®, KSF®, KAF®.

Quality awarenessquality

We concentrate on what is most important – because our focus is always on the best filter solution for our customer!

We guarantee this by:

developing and manufacturing all our own filters using modern production processes using high-quality materials employing trained, specialist personnel wich we continuously educate and

upgrade

Before being delivered, all our self-developed and manufactured filters are subjected to a detailed function FAT´s and quality check on special test benches and equip-ment.

In addition, we offer short delivery times thanks to a stock of products, spare parts and materials that has been optimised over a period of years. But we also think sustainably. By using high-quality materials and components, we ensure safe and long-lasting use of our products. As example our GRP / FRP products achieve the highest standards of quality through innovative production processes and the world’s only certified filter production according to ASME X RP-stamping. Lloyds Register certified our production range and our products have Lloyds Type Approval and functional design apraisal.
