Industrial equipment supplier BMG’s fluid technology services include solutions for fuel and industrial filtration systems, as well as instrumentation, pumps and industrial valves.

Through the company’s expert guidance – comprising insight into product selection, installation, maintenance services and a dependable stockholding of components – BMG is able to meet high demand for reliable filtration services throughout the African continent.

“Because filtration is the only effective defence against wear and tear when contaminants are present, it is critical that effective filter components are used correctly to ensure dependable performance, high efficiency and extended service life of machinery and vehicles,” explains BMG Fluid Technology Division sales manager Susan Victor.

“Efficiency and reliability are critical, particularly in sectors where fluid handling, lubrication and clean fuel are vital for high productivity and sustained operations,” she says.

In addition to improving performance, BMG’s extensive portfolio of filtration solutions also encompasses a range of “carefully-selected products” that contribute to sustainability.

“Our range includes hydraulic fluid, diesel, lubricant and air filtration products from reputable manufacturers, including the Filtration Group and Fleetguard. International certification and accreditation give customers the assurance of quality, consistency, safety and environmental compliance,” she adds.

Victor notes that the Filtration Group products are designed for “dependable use” in agriculture, bulk fuel applications, industrial facilities, manufacturing and mining operations, while the Fleetguard range of products is suited for machinery in agriculture, construction and transportation.

“The BMG team works closely with our customers to implement filtration systems that enhance operational efficiency, reduce equipment wear and minimise downtime. Our filtration solutions are also designed to reduce waste and extend the service life of fluids and lubricants, minimising environmental impact. In addition, we help businesses comply with important health and safety regulations, providing cleaner air and fluids for a safer, healthier work environment,” she avers.

Air and desiccant breathers are essential for protecting systems from moisture and contaminants, which helps to prevent equipment corrosion. Water coalescers and separators, meanwhile, are engineered to effectively remove water from diesel and lubricating oils, which is crucial for preventing rust and maintaining fuel quality.

Fleetguard mobile filters meet the demands of both on-road and off-road mobile equipment, to ensure optimal engine and hydraulic performance in the field. In-tank suction filters serve as the first line of defence against contaminants, protecting critical components, such as pumps and motors, from damage.

Victor cites metal edge filters, which are designed to efficiently handle high levels of solids, ensuring reliable filtration in demanding environments that extend from coolant systems to fuel handling applications.



She also points to tank top return filters, which are positioned at tank top return lines to capture contaminants returning to the reservoir, ensuring the required cleanliness of hydraulic systems. Basket strainers are ideally suited for low-pressure systems to capture larger particles, offering protection to pumps, valves and other system components.

Victor adds that simplex filters provide a single-stream solution, while duplex filters enable continuous operation by allowing one side of the filter to be serviced without interrupting flow. 

“Without the implementation of a structured control and contamination prevention programme, premature equipment failure is likely to occur, resulting in unnecessary downtime and costly replacement of parts,” she concludes.
