In one of the world’s harshest mining environments, frequent filter clogging caused by extreme dust levels was driving up maintenance costs and forcing unplanned equipment stoppages.

Donaldson filters engineered for heavy-duty conditions delivered proven performance:

• Filter lifespan extended from 500 to over 2,000 engine hours
• Reduced labor, inventory, and downtime
• Improved engine protection and fuel efficiency

The Donaldson Difference

The right filtration media technology to deliver optimal results

Donaldson combines proven filtration solutions with innovative media design to meet the extreme demands of mining operations. Our cellulose-based media is widely used in air filtration systems, either as a standalone solution or as a base layer combined with our advanced Ultra-Web® fine fiber technology. This combination enhances dust-holding capacity and improves filtration efficiency, particularly in harsh mining environments. 

Designed for both single- or two-stage intake systems, it’s trusted across off-road equipment, on-highway trucks, and underground mining fleets. 

With Donaldson, you get longer service intervals, reduced engine wear, and lower total cost of ownership.

Higher Filtration Efficiency Results in Much Better Engine Protection 

We know that running a high-performance mine has its economic, operational and environmental challenges - with Donaldson technologies and strategies, we can help you deliver sustainable outcomes.
