Right now, there is perhaps no industry where every dollar counts more than fleet management. Smart operators are looking for every possible way to increase efficiency. Even seemingly small incremental improvements can offset big operational costs elsewhere.

The efficiency of an air filter actually improves as dust loads up on the surface of the filter, so it gets better as it gets used.

When operating equipment in wet weather conditions, it is common for excess moisture to be drawn into the air intake system.

Pre-cleaners greatly reduce the dirt reaching the air cleaner, resulting in extended filter life. There are many different types of pre-cleaners for different applications; we can help you find the right one.

Many Donaldson air cleaners are designed to be fitted with a safety filter as an optional extra for that added peace of mind.

While new Donaldson air filters provide good engine protection, a Donaldson air filter that has been in service for a period of time works even better than a new one.

Many Donaldson air cleaners are supplied with a small rubber Vacuator™ Valve. This simple device is often overlooked but is critical to the correct operation of the air cleaner.

Advancements in fuel filtration are helping to meet growing fuel cleanliness requirements of modern diesel engines for increased performance.

Donaldson outlines the causes of glycerin-damaged fuel filters and important tips on how to avoid contamination.

Donaldson recommends important strategies for operating modern diesel engines in cold weather.

Hard particle contamination can cause several problems in the fuel system. Proven media technologies like Synteq XP™ deliver the highest levels of efficiency and contaminant retention under dynamic conditions.

Do you have equipment stopping unexpectedly due to plugged engine fuel filters? You may have issues with the quality of your diesel fuel.

Contaminated fuel can lead to vehicle downtime and costly repairs, especially to expensive common rail systems and components.

Water absorbing filters are the only sure way to prevent free water from being dispensed into your equipment.

One of the most certain returns on your investment is adding safeguards to improve your fuel infrastructure. Learn how to tell if you have a fuel quality issue, and best practices moving forward.

Manufacturers of diesel engines are utilizing new technologies to meet the stringent requirement of tightening emissions regulations.

Learn about best practices when installing and servicing your liquid spin-on filters.

We answer commonly asked questions about why safeguarding your diesel fuel is important, and highlight key facts about installing additional filtration.

Liquid filters are engineered to meet the specific requirements of equipment manufacturers and are required to have exacting efficiency ratings.

Learn what ISO cleanliness codes are derived from and how important it is to know the required oil and fuel cleanliness requirements for your equipment.

The way a sample is collected; the frequency, the accessories used and the procedures followed all dictate how informative the oil samples will be and, subsequently, dictates how beneficial the results will be.

The difference between the various types of lube oil filters available today can be confusing. There are conflicting views in the industry as to which is the best type to use.

It is important to understand the vital preventative function of hydraulic filtration to ensure that expensive components within the machinery are not damaged by poor filtration. 

When it's time to replace the hydraulic filters, it's important to understand the differences in specifications and the importance of quality filtration.

What is hydraulic fluid? With hydraulic fluid types for every purpose, this article explains why it’s used and how to keep it in peak condition.

You’ve made an investment in your hydraulic system, and you want to make the most of it. At Donaldson, we’ll walk you through the principles and maintenance practices of hydraulic oil systems that best suits your needs.

By better understanding how these systems operate and why newer equipment has become more sensitive to contamination, we can see the need for filtration solutions that keep systems as efficient and as productive as their first day of operation.

In this article, we take a close look at the six most common types of hydraulic fluid contamination: built-in, generated, water, chemical, air, and ingressed particulate.

Watch out for the effects of contamination in your hydraulic systems. Understanding the consequences of hydraulic fluid contamination contributes to better vigilance and ultimately higher system reliability.

Proper care and maintenance of hydraulic hoses can go a long way toward protecting the whole system.

It’s a gritty, dusty world. We can help maximize equipment availability and life – while reducing your total cost of ownership.
