Donaldson introduces new replacement filters

Posted on 19 Mar 2013

Donaldson Company, Inc, the worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, has introduced its newest line of replacement filters for both on- and off-road vehicle applications – with coverage for Racor fuel systems, Cummins engines and more – in an “affordable, convenient package.” The new Donaldson Twist&Drain Fuel Kits contain all the components needed for a complete change out, including water separating fuel filter with Twist&Drain valve; water collection bowl for easy visual inspection; and alternative Twist&Drain valve with water-in-fuel (WIF) sensor or threaded port to meet water-in-fuel sensing requirements.

The Twist&Drain valve, a key feature on Donaldson replacement filters, turns the complicated task of removing water into an easy process. This Donaldson-exclusive valve has been designed with user-friendly features, such as a wider, easy-turn “thumb and forefinger” profile; being self-venting, allowing for easy water flow, and; involving a single threaded port in the bottom of the filter housing for fast and easy water draining – without the awkwardness of multiple sensor and drain ports.

Surface mining examples pf Donaldson equpiment include air cleaners and filters; lube, fuel and coolant filters; transmission and power steering filters; bulk fuel and lubricant filters; and hydraulic housings and filters; compressed air and gas filtration. Underground mining areas include industrial and mobile hydraulic filtration; high temperature exhaust filtration; gearbox filtration; air, lube and fuel filtration for diesel engines. In both cases, the group offers a full line of replacement parts and accessories.
