The fuel filter is an essential component in your machinery's fuel system. It works to remove contaminants from the fuel, preventing damage to the engine or other components.

Effective hydraulic filtration is crucial in preventing damage to cylinders caused by hydraulic fluid contamination, which can result in wear, abrasion, and even catastrophic failure.

High-pressure common-rail (HPCR) systems are intricate and accurate pieces of machinery that require the use of clean fuel to operate without breakdown. Even the tiniest contaminants can lead to engine failure and result in expensive downtime. However, since HPCR engines have been in use for a considerable amount of time, both original equipment manufacturers (OEs) and operators are well-informed about the issues caused by dirt and other solid particles in fuel. They also understand the...

Generators are a vital part of our lives, providing us with electricity when there is no access to the power grid or in the event of a power outage. However, like any mechanical device, generators require proper maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. One critical aspect of generator maintenance is filtration. Filtration is the process of removing impurities or contaminants from a fluid or gas, and generators require clean fuel, oil, and air to operate efficiently. Failure to...

Baldwin’s BF46002 Highly Engineered Layered Media (HELM™), helps maintain fuel quality and ensures high-precision fuel systems operate at maximum efficiency, ultimately reducing the risk of downtime and injector wear. Equipment manufacturers today demand fuel that is free of contaminants and meets the ISO 4406 fuel cleanliness level to prevent premature injector wear and costly downtime. Stricter emission regulations have forced engine manufacturers to design cleaner, more efficient engines....

In-line filters are a type of filtration system that are installed directly into a pipeline. These filters are typically used to remove impurities, such as dirt, debris, and other particles, from the fluid that is flowing through the pipeline. The benefits One of the main advantages of in-line filters is that they are easy to install and maintain. They can be placed directly into the pipeline, without the need for any additional equipment or support structures.  This makes them a...

Groundcare machinery, such as lawn mowers, tractors, and hedge trimmers, is essential for maintaining a healthy and beautiful lawn, grounds or garden. However, like any piece of equipment, regular maintenance is required to ensure that these machines are operating at their best and to extend their lifespan. Read some of our tips and best practices for maintaining your groundcare machinery. Read the Owner's Manual Before using any groundcare machinery, it is important to read the owner's...

Moisture meets its match with Donaldson’s T.R.A.P breather technology. Donaldson T.R.A.P Breathers collect and eject moisture from your holding tank which means you wont need to change your breather as often due to water saturation unlike other desiccant filters. How it works T.R.A.P breathers from Donaldson can strip the moisture from intake air and remove it back into the atmosphere on the outflow cycle. This ultimately regenerates your breathers water holding capacity. The circuit...

Baldwin’s EnduraPanel air filters are designed to protect and last! You spend a lot of money on your equipment, and you don’t need downtime due to premature part failures. Even high-quality air filters cannot perform if damaged under harsh working conditions. A damaged air filter can let contamination pass through filter media which ultimately allows unfiltered ‘dirty air’ to reach your engine. That’s why Baldwin developed their line of EnduraPanel, an air filter built to deliver superior...

When carrying out repairs and maintenance on mobile and stationary machinery it is important to understand the risk factors they come with. Machinery accidents are caused by a range of factors which can include: Missing guards and other safety devices Unsuitable machinery for the job on hand Poor maintenance  Lack of training Unsafe methods for clearing blockages and making adjustments. Agricultural Machinery Hazards  Many operators may not be aware of how powerful agricultural machinery is...

Developed by Donaldson, PowerCore® technology offers the best system optimisation for newer vehicle models deigned to be less classic and more aerodynamic. Latest vehicle design offers, less under-hood space, higher horsepower engines with hotter engines and that is why Donaldson created PowerCore® Air Filters, to do more in less space. What is it about? Proprietary air filtration technology has been developed to improve engine protection and new fluted media is designed for improved air...

It may come as surprise that the most powerful hydraulic systems bare so much similarity to the human body.  Imagine your heart being the hydraulic pump in your system, and hydraulic fluid being the blood which is filtered by the kidneys (being your hydraulic filters).  However, unlike the human body, manmade hydraulics need careful servicing and maintenance.  How Hydraulic Systems work Hydraulic oil holding tank Here is where most of your contaminants will find its way into the oil. However...
