Electra Mining Africa 2014 exhibitor Donaldson Filtration has announced the launch of its new filter, Donaldson Blue, which is designed to meet a wide range of requirements for on-road and off-road trucks and equipment.

Donaldson Blue filters offer technology for improved efficiency and enhanced engine and equipment protection.

“We’ve combined and expanded several air, lube, coolant, on-engine fuel and bulk fuel filtration lines to create one premiere filtration family that offers equipment owners what matters most: the proven protection that Donaldson filtration technology provides,” says Donaldson global product director Ted Angelo.

“The common thread – the thing that defines Donaldson Blue filters – is that they provide superior performance in each filter category. Donaldson Blue air intake, lube and coolant filters also offer the advantage of longer filter life, which extends service intervals and reduces overall maintenance costs.”

Manufactured using Donaldson’s Ultra-Web nanofiber technology, Donaldson Blue air filters are suitable for on-road and off-road applications as they help reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment uptime. Donaldson says its Blue air filters protect engines and help them last longer by providing better initial and overall efficiency compared with conventional cellulose media. “When used in on-road truck applications, they are guaranteed to go twice the distance when compared to cellulose media air filters.”

For lube filters, the key to performance is balancing efficiency, capacity and restriction to provide optimal overall performance. Donaldson Blue lube filters with Synteq media balance all three characteristics, removing greater amounts of fine contaminant and delivering increased contaminant holding capacity compared with standard cellulose media. It all adds up to longer filter life and better engine protection.

The Donaldson Blue filter line also includes innovations such as bulk fuel filtration systems that clean fuel before it is pumped into trucks and equipment.

“Clean diesel is essential for today’s high-tech truck engines to function properly – and Donaldson Blue filters help deliver cleaner fuel resulting in reduced injector wear,” the company says.
