Donaldson's innovative Alpha-Web®

Filters must meet the demands of maintaining fluid cleanliness and safeguarding systems from the frequent variations in flow rates commonly encountered in real-world operational settings. The Alpha-Web filtration technology introduces a groundbreaking fine-fiber layer designed to capture and immobilize particles during these frequent flow-rate fluctuations, offering a remarkable enhancement in the protection of hydraulic equipment. This heightened ability to retain contaminants leads to cleaner oil, thereby increasing the likelihood of equipment longevity and better performance, while simultaneously reducing the risk of wear, damage, and unexpected operational interruptions.

          The landscape of hydraulic filtration is undergoing a transformation. Recognizing the substantial influence of hydraulic flow rate fluctuations on filter effectiveness, we embarked on the creation of ISO 23369, the industry's most rigorous test standard to date. As Uldis Kreslins, Donaldson's Hydraulics Product Manager, explains, 'The development of our Alpha-Web media was driven by the need to adhere to this newly established cyclic test standard.' This innovative Alpha-Web media outperforms traditional synthetic media by offering significantly higher filtration efficiency, rendering it suitable for a wide spectrum of applications spanning from low to medium to high-pressure scenarios.
