MOBILE FILTRATIONBaldwin - Air Filtration

Air System Protection Clean air is essential An air filter that looks relatively clean may actually be too restrictive. Likewise, a filter that appears to be dirty, may still have thousands of miles or hours of useful life. Since it is impossible to determine the true condition of an air filter by visual inspection, Baldwin recommends the use of an air restriction gauge, which more accurately measures acceptable restriction levels. Before disposing of an old air filter, inspect it carefully for problems that may need correcting. Black, powdery coating may indicate the air intake is

located too close to the engine exhaust. Dirt on the clean side of the filter element may indicate a

dust leak due to the filter not sealing properly or a split in the filter media.

Rust on the filter’s metal parts may indicate that water is being drawn in with the air. Check the location of the intake and make sure water-venting ports in the induction system are clean and free of obstructions.

Baldwin does not recommend cleaning air filter elements, as the cleaning process might damage the filter — leading to premature engine failure.

MOBILE FILTRATIONBaldwin - Air Filtration

Heavy-duty protection

Clean air is critical to the performance and life of your engine. For efficient combustion, a modern diesel engine requires several thousand times as much air as it does fuel. Under normal operating conditions, to burn one gallon of fuel you have to clean 15,000 gallons of air. Add a turbocharger to that engine, and air consumption requirements increase by 20% or more.

Proper air filtration is important because a small amount of dirt can cause a tremendous amount of engine damage. The purpose of the air filter is to promote long system life by keeping damaging contaminants away from sensitive engine components.

To improve dust holding capacity and air flow, Baldwin Filters uses two proven methods to separate and stabilize the pleated media.

PermaPleat® — an embossing process that forms dividers between pleats which prevents bunching and insures uniform air flow.

Beading — a continuous bead of adhesive around the circumference of the filters metal wrap, either inner or outer, to lock the pleat tips in place and prevent movement.

Baldwin Filters offers more than 2,200 air filters – the majority of which feature our PermaPleat construction. Baldwin filters supply the necessary protection for all engines.

Maximum performance

Baldwin Filters designs and manufactures heavy-duty air filters to the specifications established by engine and equipment manufacturers.

SAE J726 testing shows that Baldwin filters meet the requirements determined by the manufacturer in contaminant removal efficiency and contaminant holding capacity. The following product comparisons illustrate Baldwin’s superior performance.

MOBILE FILTRATIONBaldwin - Cooling FiltrationHeavy-duty protection

Poor cooling system maintenance causes an estimated 40% of all premature engine failures. Coolant filters protect your engine by trapping contaminants and distributing Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCAs) into your cooling system. Baldwin offers coolant filters with two SCA formulations to meet specific engine needs.

Balanced Treatment for Ethylene Glycol (BTE™) is a direct replacement for DCA2 and is designed for systems operating with 30 to 60% ethylene/propylene glycol solutions.

Balanced Treatment Additive (BTA PLUS™) is a direct replacement for DCA4 and can be used in systems with antifreeze levels ranging from 0 to 60% ethylene/propylene glycol solutions.

Coolant filters are available without SCAs if the use of liquid BTE or BTA PLUS additives is preferred.

If your equipment does not currently have a coolant filter, Baldwin offers a remote-mount coolant filter base (CFB5000), which can be added to your system.

Baldwin’s FleetStrip™ Coolant Test Kit (CTK5029) measures freeze point, nitrite and molybdate in conventional antifreeze to help you maintain proper SCA levels.

MOBILE FILTRATIONBaldwin - Fuel FiltrationHeavy-duty protection

Dirty fuel is a fact of life. Even with the development of cleaner-burning fuels, contaminants are still a major concern when it comes to fuel systems.

Baldwin fuel filters protect sensitive fuel system components, such as injection pumps and injectors, from damaging contaminants, which include:

Water — destroys lubricative properties of your fuel, damaging fuel system components and resulting in fuel flow stoppage at cold temperatures.

Fungus and Bacteria — plug fuel filters, feed on hydrocarbons and spread rapidly in the presence of moisture.

Precipitates (non-combustible materials) — settle out of the fuel causing few problems.

Particulates (black, tar-like contaminants) — plug fuel filters quickly.

Wax — adds energy to diesel fuel; however, during cold weather, wax thickens and gels – slowing or stopping fuel flow.

Baldwin Filters offers more than 650 different fuel filters, coalescers and fuel/water separators to fit most applications.

MOBILE FILTRATIONBaldwin - Hydraulic FiltrationHeavy-duty protection

As hydraulic systems are becoming more sophisticated, the hydraulic filter has become a critical component. With the need for closer tolerances, faster cycle times, higher pressures and extended service intervals, more demand is being placed on the hydraulic filter.

Proper filtration starts with selecting the right filter based on the original equipment manufacturers recommendations, which include:

The type of fluid used and the system operating pressure. The amount of fluid flow required for system operation. The amount of restriction (resistance to fluid flow) caused by the

filter. The amount of contaminant the filter needs to be able to trap

and hold, in order to meet service interval expectations. The level of filtration (fluid cleanliness level) required by the

specific application.

In addition to these factors, Baldwin takes into account that hydraulic systems are using more filters than ever. Increased sophistication and the use of sensitive, close-tolerance components often require strategic location of several filters instead of just one. Baldwin offers more than 850 hydraulic filters to meet these needs.

Maximum performance

Baldwin filters are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications established by equipment manufacturers. ISO 16889 tests show Baldwin Filters exceeds the standards for contaminant removal efficiency and contaminant holding capacity.

MOBILE FILTRATIONBaldwin - Lube Filtration

Lube System Protection Clean oil is essential Clean oil is critical for equipment to operate in the toughest conditions. With the demand for extended oil drain intervals, Baldwin has developed the High Velocity Dual-Flow and Severe Service® filters to provide maximum filtration to meet today’s equipment demands. High Velocity Dual-Flow spin-on design is superior to standard full-flow/by-pass designs in that a larger portion of the flow travels through the high efficiency element, removing more small contaminants. Severe Service filters feature glue beads around the filter media for additional strength. Baldwin engineers have been researching the effects of extended oil drain intervals for more than 30 years and agree that extended oil drain intervals should be approached with caution. While extended intervals may save money in the short run, it is important to remember that improperly managed oil change intervals can lead to accelerated engine wear and costly engine rebuilds. Regularly scheduled oil analysis should be used to help determine your equipment’s service interval.

MOBILE FILTRATIONBaldwin - Lube Filtration

Heavy-duty protection

Improved high-performance engines and new emission standards have had a significant impact on the development of oils and oil filters. As manufacturers continue to develop more sophisticated engines, new classifications of oils will continue to be developed.

These new oils play a vital part in protecting engines by reducing friction and wear, cooling engine parts, sealing combustion chambers, cleaning engine components and inhibiting corrosion. Lube filters also play a critical role in protecting engines by removing damaging contaminants from the oil.

Lube filters trap oil contaminants in two ways: Some particles adhere to the filter media as the oil flows through

the filter. These particles attach themselves to the media surface without plugging the media pores.

Other particles are trapped in the filter media by the pressure of the oil as it flows through the filter.

Baldwin Filters has been making lube filters for over seventy years. With more than 650 lube filters for most heavy-duty and automotive applications, Baldwin has the coverage and quality you demand.

Maximum performance

Baldwin lube filters are manufactured to meet or exceed the original equipment specifications established by engine manufacturers.
