Donaldson Blue - Superior Filtration Technology for Machinery

Donaldson Blue™ filters reduce cost and increase equipment uptime.

You can choose Donaldson Blue™ for your heavy-duty engine filtration solutions.

Donaldson Blue™ - Air Filtration

Utilising Ultra-Web® nanofiber technology, these air filters are the optimal choice for minimising maintenance expenses and maximising equipment uptime. 

Donaldson Blue™ air filters safeguard engines and extended lifespan by delivering increased efficiency in comparison to traditional cellulose media. 

Ultra-Web® nanofiber technology attracts submicron contaminants onto the media's surface, resulting in reduced airflow restriction and prolonged filter life.

Ultra-Web® Advantages

Designed to excel in challenging environments of extreme temperatures and humidity, these nanofibers go beyond ordinary filtration capabilities. 

Effective - demonstrated over the course of almost two decades Donaldson Blue™, has successfully been utilised in diesel engines in real-world scenarios. 

When it comes to on-highway trucks, these filters guarantee double the distance compared to standard cellulose filters, ensuring enhanced performance and longevity.

CELLULOSE MEDIA

Cellulose fibers are larger than Ultra-Web® nanofibers and have larger spaces between the fibers, which causes contaminant to load in the depth of the media and plug the airflow path, resulting in higher restriction and less capacity.

ULTRA-WEB® MEDIA

Ultra-Web® nanofibers have submicron diameters and small interfiber spaces, these result in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the media, promoting lower restriction and longer filter life.

Longer Engine Life

Through thorough laboratory and field testing, Donaldson Blue™ air filters have demonstrated superior engine protection capabilities by significantly reducing the passage of contaminants through the media when compared to cellulose air filters. 

Furthermore, Donaldson Blue™ air filters achieve an impressive efficiency rating of 99.97% at a faster pace than conventional cellulose filters, and their overall efficiency can reach up to an impressive 99.99%. Users who opt for Ultra-Web® filters can expect not only enhanced engine protection and performance but also reduced costs throughout the life cycle of the equipment.

Donaldson Blue™ - Fuel Filtration

Better fuel filtration is key for modern fuel systems.

Today‘s diesel engines need to maintain high performance levels to remain compliant with stringent Tier 4 emissions regulations. 

Fuel filtration assumes a critical role in this regard, particularly due to the operation of high-pressure common rail fuel injectors, which can reach pressures of up to 2,000 - 3,100 bar (30,000 - 45,000 psi). Consequently, ensuring the delivery of CLEAN FUEL to the intricately designed fuel system pumps and injectors becomes crucial for maintaining optimal performance.

Today’s engines operate within a range of environments characterised by factors such as vibration, fuel pump pulsation, and fluctuating fuel flows. These factors collectively present significant challenges for fuel filters.

Synteq XP™ media technology

Synthetic Synteq XP™ media provides better contaminant removal and superior contaminant retention.

Single filter design 

Our single-stage filter design ensures that the engine receives clean fuel.

These filters offer high-efficiency, low flow restriction and excellent dirt-holding capacity – with no complex, back up filter required.

Industry-Shaping Synteq XP™ Media Technology

On-engine fuel filters serve as the final defense in removing contaminants from your fuel system.

Their role in eliminating and retaining as much contaminant as possible is crucial across all operating conditions.

For optimum safeguarding of engine fuel systems, Donaldson Blue™ filters equipped with Synteq XP™ media technology offer superior protection.

These filters excel in both removing contaminants and effectively retaining them, even in the face of demanding operating conditions regularly encountered by your engines and equipment.

Donaldson Blue™ - Oil Filtration

Donaldson Blue™ lube filters with Synteq XP™ media provide the optimal balance of efficiency, capacity and restriction.

These filters:

• Reduce oil consumption and operating costs.
• Increase engine protection.
• Remove more than 90% of contaminants that are > 10 microns, compared to 50% or less for typical cellulose filters.
• Deliver nearly double the contaminant carrying capacity of standard cellulose filters.
• Provide lower restriction to ensure maximum oil flow.

Donaldson Blue™ lube filters are designed specifically to provide longer filter life – a critical component of any extended filter maintenance program.

RICO Europe supply a wide range of Donaldson Blue Filters that fit a wide range of applications.
