The Basics Of
Heavy Duty Filtration

The world of heavy duty filtration is a broad one, which covers two primary categories of vehicles and numerous types of filters. Understanding the differences among these vehicle types and filters is key in matching your customers with the correct products.

The Goals Of
Heavy Duty Filtration

While On-Highway and Off-Road operators rely on different vehicles, many of their filtration goals are the same. These include:

  • ENHANCED UPTIME

    Proper filtration helps prevent catastrophic equipment failures due to unnecessary wear and tear. When time and miles equate to money, it's critical your customers’ equipment is working as needed, when needed.

  • Reduced Maintenance

    The abrasion prevented by proper filtration helps extend equipment life, as well as reduce maintenance and replacement costs. This is a critical factor in how a heavy duty filter can help drive customer profitability.

  • Increased Safety and Ergonomics

    Proper air filtration helps prevent potentially harmful debris from entering equipment, and more importantly vehicle and operator cabins. This helps ensure comfort and safety for a fleet's drivers and operators.

Types of Heavy Duty Filters

Heavy Duty filters can be broken down into 2 primary types - liquid and air. Each of these types can also be broken down into several categories, most of which are identical for both on-highway and off-road applications.

Driven by the same goals, on-highway and off-road filters share much of the same functionality.

Liquid

Liquid filters are engineered to remove harmful particulates from a system's critical fluids.

  • Lube/Oil
    Lube/oil filters keep particulates from reaching, and damaging, key moving engine components.
  • Fuel/Water
    Fuel filters help keep foreign matter from preventing efficient combustion or damaging fuel injectors.
  • Hydraulic
    Hydraulic filters help keep hydraulic fluids in prime operating condition over extended periods of low-, medium- or high-pressure use.
  • Coolant
    Coolant filters help remove contaminants from your coolant that can affect fluid PH levels and cause system corrosion.

Air

Air filters are built to keep debris, dirt and dust from reaching an equipment's interior components or operating cabin.

  • Engine Air
    Air filters capture harmful debris from entering engine compartments, and ultimately, engine components.
  • Cabin Air
    Cabin air filters prevent dust and contaminated air from entering operator or driving cabins, promoting safe and comfortable conditions.

How To
Select A Filter

With hundreds of different liquid filters across 6 different categories - each with premium options available, specifying the correct filter for your customers can be difficult. However, after working through a few questions, and having a short discussion regarding your customer's needs, you'll be well on your way to matching them with the best possible filtration solution.
