Donaldson Blue® hydraulic filters deliver significant advantages over competitive filters. They help provide superior efficiency, longer filter life, and reduced flow restriction, while providing industry-leading protection for sensitive hydraulic components.

Features

  • Superior efficiency − for cleaner fluid and less damaging contaminants in your hydraulic systems
  • Longer filter life − for extended filter change intervals, reducing time and expense for servicing equipment
  • Reduced flow restriction − to minimize energy loss and time in filter bypass, even during cold starts

Benefits

  • Increase equipment uptime 
  • Protect sensitive hydraulic components
  • Reduce maintenance cost

Alpha-Web™ Hydraulic Filtration Media

With the adoption of ISO 23369, hydraulic filter testing now better reflects the cyclic‑flow conditions equipment experiences in real‑world operation. Donaldson’s Alpha‑Web™ media is engineered specifically for these conditions, using a first-of-its-kind fine fiber layer that captures and locks contaminants - even during frequent flow changes.

Optimized for efficiency under cyclic flow, Alpha‑Web™ helps maintain cleaner fluid, extend component life, and support longer service intervals. The result is better filtration performance where it matters most: in demanding, real‑world hydraulic environments.

Features

  • Industry-leading protection from some of the smallest contaminants
  • Fine-fiber media traps and locks contaminants in place so they can't re-enter the hydraulic circuit
  • Designed to perform in challenging, real-world operating conditions 

Benefits

Hydraulic fluid filters with Alpha-Web fine fiber media technology can provide:

  • Fluid cleanliness 2 ISO codes are better than traditional synthetic media
  • Up to 4x cleaner hydraulic fluid*
  • Extended component life by up to 60%**

*Results achieved from lab testing; field testing is ongoing.
**According to the Equipment Life Extension Table by Noria Corporation, the industry-accepted authority on fluid cleanliness, an improvement in fluid cleanliness by two ISO codes can extend component life by 60 percent.

Applications

Alpha-Web filtration media is ideal for low-, medium-, and high-pressure hydraulic fluid applications, including:

  • Heavy construction; Mining; Agriculture; Oil & Gas
