Cat® Filters Maintain Peak Machine Performance
DURABLE CAT DESIGN
Cat Filters are designed to maintain peak performance for your machine. Urethane end caps, top grade media, spiral roving, acrylic beads, and a nylon reinforced center tube help achieve a high level of protection to keep your system clean.
REDUCED OWNING AND OPERATING COSTS
Cat Filters are essential to keeping your equipment running smoothly and effciently. The flters capture harmful particles and maintain system cleanliness. By investing in high quality Cat Filters, your equipment is protected and performing at its peak. Improved system health means components last longer, lowering your owning and operating costs..
WHAT MAKES CAT FILTERS THE PREFERRED CHOICE?
Did you know that all filters are not created equal?
It’s true! Over 30 years ago, Caterpillar researched whether flters actually made a difference. The results are clear. Filters matter to equipment protection and performance. By using Cat Filters, not only will your equipment last longer and perform better, but you’ll also save money in the long run with less repair work and more uptime. So, when it comes to flters, the obvious choice is Cat Filters.
CAT FILTERS ARE DESIGNED WITH ROBUST ENGINEERING TO ENHANCE THE CAT COMPONENTS AROUND THEM
ALUMINUM TOP PLATE
Different because it allows for more thread engagement and less chance of cross threading eliminating the potential for steel slivers to enter the clean side of the engine.
URETHANE END CAPS
– One-piece design
– Media molded into urethane
– Eliminates possible leak paths
NON-METALLIC CENTER TUBE
– Stronger than metal
– Removes the possibility of metal debris flowing into clean oil
SPIRAL ROVING
– Reduces pleat flex and fatigu
– Improves media surface utilization
– Increases contaminant retention
ACRYLIC BEADING
– Prevents bunching
– Enhances media surface area for higher capacity
CANISTER
– Thickest can in the industry
– One-piece design
– Increases structural strength
– Reduces potential leaks
From flow rates to efficiencies, Cat Filter design engineers work to enhance the performance of the equipment for the most rugged applications. We call it the Cat system approach.
Types of Filters
01 AIR FILTERS
Cat Air Filters are responsible for continuously cleaning the air coming into the engine or machine cab. Air filters are designed to effectively remove contaminants such as dust, dirt, soot, and other air-born particulates with no need to manually remove and clean them. Cat standard engine air filters are recommended for most applications that require normal-duty filtration and offer more capacity tha conventional filters. Standard air filters are available for all C equipment models. Cat Ultra High Efficiency (UHE) Filters have longer life than standard filters. UHE filters are available for many C equipment models. They are recommended for fine dust applications because they have improved dirt-holding capacity which extends the filter element service life. Both filter types provide excellent protectio for your machine.
Lower restriction filters are recommended in situations where ther is lower than desired cab air flo. Activated carbon filters ar recommended in situations where odor is a problem for fast absorption and superior particle removal.
02 ENGINE OIL FILTERS
Cat Engine Oil Filters are essential to protect your engine. They are designed to fit perfectly in today’s engines, which have tighter tolerances, and provide the proper effciency for your engine’s needs. By using Cat Engine Oil Filters, you can prevent small issues from resulting in large-scale damage to your engine.
Cat Engine Oil Filters provide more protection and performance for your engine. They decrease system contamination and are designed with increased capacity. This makes them an excellent choice for you to extend your oil drain intervals and increase performance for your engine lube oil system.
Cat Engine Oil Filters are designed with your Cat equipment’s protection in mind. They are made to Caterpillar’s standards which requires rigorous lab and feld tests. Plus, they are designed to work in harmony with Cat Fluids and Cat S·O·S fuid analysis to help enhance the performance of your equipment.
03 HYDRAULIC AND TRANSMISSION FILTERS
Cat Hydraulic and Transmission Filters are manufactured to Caterpillar’s specifcations and rigorously tested both in the lab and in the feld. They provide your system with the protection it needs to increase performance. Cat Filters, Fluids, and Cat S·O·S are designed to work together for improved hydraulic and transmission system performance. You’re also getting the support of a best-in-class dealer network backed by a range of fexible solutions, technology, tools, and more. It’s all about the support that’s built around your success.
"CORELESS” ELEMENT - Innovative design incorporates a center tube that remains in the housing for the life of the machine.
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS - Nonmetallic flters that eliminate the need to replace the center tube, reducing waste.
LOWER COST - Filter housing is reusable, leading to reduced waste and disposal cost.
CAPACITY AND PERFORMANCE - Transmission flters provide higher capacity and improved cold-flow performance.
04 FUEL FILTERS
When it comes to fuel flters, Cat is the way to go. Not only do our filters prevent dust, rust, and other debris from hindering your engine’s performance, but they also promote longer-lasting components. This means that you will not have to worry about replacing your fuel injectors as often. While all parts will eventually wear down over time, Cat Filters help reduce the speed at which this happens, thus helping you save time and money overall.
Cat Fuel Filters are designed to capture and hold contaminants to increase the life of components and protect engine performance, resulting in lower owning and operating costs. The flter housing is reusable, so only the cartridge needs to be changed, making serviceability easier and reducing waste.
Clean fuel is essential for effcient and reliable performance in modern diesel engines, as well as meeting emissions standards. Cat Filters, Fluids, and Cat S·O·S are designed to protect fuel systems from contaminants, by separating the “dirty” and “clean” sides of the fuel and capturing 98.7% or better* of the particulates. Integrated drain valves provide for cleaner flter changes, promoting the safety of technicians. The patented Clean Drain Valve lets you drain the fuel before removing the flter. The valve also locks the flter in place and makes it possible to change the flter without using tools.
A SYSTEM APPROACH
ENHANCE MACHINE HEALTH WITH CAT FILTERS, CAT FLUIDS, & CAT S.O.S FLUID ANALYSIS
Caterpillar component engineers design and test Cat Filters and Fluids alongside Cat equipment to ensure system effciency. Routine Cat S·O·S fuid analysis helps to extend drain intervals, identify contaminants early, avoid failures, and improve equipment performance. This consistent engineering design process delivers the peace of mind that comes with owning a Cat machine.
Cat Fluids provide increased performance and reliability to your equipment. With rigorous standards, quality testing, and experts in the feld weighing in on the fuid designs, Cat Fluids will last longer and extend drain intervals. This means that your system runs cleaner, your machine performs better, and your components last longer.
Cat Filters are essential to keeping your equipment running smoothly and effciently. The flters capture harmful particles and maintain system cleanliness. By investing in quality Cat Filters, your equipment is protected and performing at its peak. Not only will you beneft from improved system health, but you will also see lower owning and operating costs, overall.
