Cat® filters combine a system-based design with elite features to outperform other filter brands. By choosing Cat filters for your mining equipment, you're getting value, quality, increased equipment uptime, lower operational costs, and improved machine performance.
The Quality Of Cat® Heavy Equipment Filters
Designed with a clear goal in mind, Cat filters cut down on contaminants, are built specifically for Cat equipment, and are tested beyond industry standards. That’s how you know you’re getting higher quality, longer lasting, and more effective filters.
The filters’ acrylic beads prevent bunching while the spiral roving increases stability. A nylon center tube prevents metal contamination, and seamless, molded end caps eliminate leaks. These benefits can be seen in each type of Cat filter:
Cat air filters provide protection of vital engine parts, resulting in high-quality performance. They reduce airborne irritants, creating a cleaner and more comfortable operator environment.
Cat oil filters capture particles that would otherwise damage your engine, hydraulic, and transmission systems. They decrease cold start bypass while maintaining appropriate cleanliness levels.
Cat fuel filters trap smaller particles that do damage to fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and other engine components. These premium fuel filters remove water from your fuel system.
Cat Filters In Action
In a lab setting, Cat filters result in longer fuel injector life and lower fuel system cost.
“We work in the dirt. So, we have to keep the dirt out,” explains Hind Abi-Akar, a fluids technical expert. “This is where our filters keep our fluids clean, so that the fluids can do their job.”
The Chicago Refinery Company used Cat filters and fluids continuously on a Cat 990 Wheel Loader. They were able to extend second engine overhaul from 36,000 to 46,226 hours and saved significantly by reusing components during rebuild. From the design to the numbers, it’s obvious what a difference Cat filters make.
Investing in the right equipment makes all the difference. With Cat filters, your equipment gets more protection and improved performance. That means less repair work, increased uptime, and greater profitability.
