Harvest time under extreme conditions: How modern filter systems protect agricultural machinery

Harvesting places extreme demands on man and machine. With reliable filter solutions for air, fuel, oil and interiors, your agricultural machinery remains powerful, efficient and safe.

Dusty fields, long working hours, changing weather conditions - during harvesting, Agricultural machinery is under enormous strain. This makes it all the more important that all systems function reliably - from the engine to the driver's cab. High-quality filters for air, fuel, oil and interiors make a decisive contribution here. They not only protect machine components, but also safeguard the health of the driver.

Dust, pollen and plant residues: a challenge for air filters

Especially in dry weather and on large arable fields, the amount of dust generated is enormous. Air filter ensures that only clean air enters the combustion chamber of the engine. This prevents premature wear and keeps performance consistently high - even during long periods of use.

It is important to choose air filters with excellent dirt separation efficiency and a high dust holding capacity, which ensure highly efficient and reliable cleaning of the intake air and thus prevent a loss of engine performance.

Protection for the driver: cabin air filters in constant use

Fine dust, pollen and other allergens are a burden for drivers. Cabin air filter (or cab filters) ensure clean breathing air in the cab and help to maintain concentration and health - particularly important during long shifts during harvesting.

Oil filters: Constant lubrication under high loads

Harvesters often run for many hours at a time under high loads. And only a first-class lubricated engine can guarantee full performance over the long term. However, continuous operation during harvesting puts a lot of strain on the engine and the lubricating oil.

High-quality Oil filter reliably remove metal abrasion, soot particles and impurities. This ensures clean engine oil, protects the lubrication circuits from clogging and thus protects the engine from damage. Because time is short, especially during harvest time, and unnecessary maintenance or machine downtime is annoying and expensive.

Water in the fuel? No problem with the right filter.

Biodiesel and fluctuating temperatures can lead to the formation of water in the fuel system - with fatal consequences for injection systems and the engine. Fuel filter with integrated Water separator reliably separates water, prevents corrosion and thus ensures smooth operation - even with alternative fuels.

Maintenance made easy: Long service life, easy handling

Every minute counts during harvesting. High-quality filtration solutions are designed for a long service life and reduced maintenance requirements. This ultimately ensures high availability and low machine downtimes. Harvest time is peak season - time is short!
