Filtration Protection Systems

Six asset protection domains covering air intake, fuel, lubrication, hydraulics, cooling, and cabin air. Each domain maps contamination targets, applicable standards, and the ELIMFILTERS technologies engineered to address specific failure mechanisms.

💨

Air Intake Protection

Preventing dust, abrasive particles, and moisture from entering the combustion and air supply system. Air filtration directly determines engine wear rate and volumetric efficiency.

TECHNOLOGIES

MACROCORE™INTEKCORE™DURATECH™

STANDARDS

ISO 5011

CONTAMINATION CHALLENGES

Silica ingestion

Air restriction

Dust holding capacity

Pre-cleaner selection

⛽

Fuel Cleanliness Protection

Removing water and particles from diesel fuel to protect high-pressure common rail injectors. Water above 200 ppm causes injector stiction and micro-pitting.

CONTAMINATION CHALLENGES

Water contamination

HPCR injector protection

Microbial growth

Fuel polishing

🔧

Lubrication Protection

Maintaining ISO 4406 cleanliness codes in engine and transmission lube circuits. Particle contamination in lube oil is the primary cause of bearing and piston wear.
