DONALDSON ENGINE

The Engine division is primarily responsible for four different product groups:

  • Air filter
  • Fuel filter
  • Lube oil filter
  • Hydraulic filters
Both cabin air filters, which for example protect the cabin of an excavator from being air-conditioned with the dusty ambient air, and engine air filtration are among Donaldson's core competencies. Combustion engines of the current generation react very sensitively to contamination of the intake air. Due to tight manufacturing tolerances and high pressures in the mixture preparation, even small particles can cause enormous damage to injection nozzles or bearings. Donaldson offers the right filter for every application. The best air quality does not help an engine if it is supplied with contaminated fuel. To meet all applications, Donaldson offers both cellulose and treated cellulose media (water separation). Various bearing points of a combustion engine depend on a continuous and, above all, dirt-free supply of lubricating oil. Contaminated oil considerably shortens the service life of the engine and can lead to serious damage. Oil filters from Donaldson filter out the potentially dangerous particles and thus actively contribute to an extended service life of the engine. The orange Duramax hydraulic filters from Donaldson are an established name in the market for the medium pressure range in hydraulic systems. Donaldson also supplies suitable solutions for low and high pressure applications. The hydraulic range is rounded off by in-tank filters and state-of-the-art venting solutions.

What is Donaldson BLUE / Ultra-Web? 

The blue filter media from Donaldson marks the highest quality level of filter media. Donaldson Ultra-Web media has a fine layer of nanofibers over the cellulose media, which allows dirt to be filtered out efficiently. The result is lower back pressure, longer service life and greater efficiency right from the start. Ultra-Web media are now also available for the aftermarket and are offered in all product groups.

DONALDSON TORIT® – INDUSTRIAL AIR FILTRATION

Donaldson offers the perfect solution to ensure clean air in your industrial processes. The portfolio includes complete dust collection systems as well as dust collection cartridges, bag filters and bag filter systems. By using Ultra-Web media technology, Donaldson offers longer service life, cost savings and cleaner air than cartridges with conventional media technology. Donaldson also supplies the right filters for high-temperature applications. Find your perfect industrial filtration solution!
