Donaldson Company Inc., a leading, worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, will showcase the company’s latest generation of engine fuel and lube cartridge filters at the upcoming 2014 Automechanika Show - Hall 5.0 Booth D45 - later this month in Frankfurt, Germany.
Manufactured using superior direct-bonding technology and metal-free construction, the filters provide an eco-friendly approach that allows for crushing and/or incineration, depending upon local preferences. The filters also feature Synteq media technology, which uses both cellulose and melt-blown synthetic layers to achieve very high levels of filtration performance. This dual-layered media has increased particulate holding capacity and is a high performance water separator. When used in fuel filter applications, Synteq provides high efficiency emulsified water separation and can be used in both the suction and pressure sides of fuel systems–making it an ideal choice for critical applications or extended service intervals.
Eco-friendly characteristics of this latest generation of fuel and lube filters are achieved, in part, by using a unique direct bonding technology. They offer numerous benefits:
- Direct bonding of pleats in end cap material maximizes effective media area, while delivering a robust and leak-proof element.
- End cap material, reinforced with glass fibers, offers high strength, heat resistance, and durability.
- Ultrasonically welded seam seals provide a strong reliable bond.
- 2K molded rubber on lube filters creates a tight, reliable seal.
- Laser-marked identification presents clear printing that won’t fade over time or when exposed to hot liquid for easy part identification.
Donaldson's liquid engine filtration technology will be on display at 2014 Automechanika Show – Hall 5.0 Booth D45 – September 16 to 20, 2014, in Frankfurt, Germany.
