Make sure that you change filters according to the recommended intervals suggested by the manufacturer. Although you may find plenty of bargain filter brands in the market you should be careful when using inferior filters as they could damage the health of your equipment in the long term. Even if you do end up saving a little bit on the filter it would not be worth it if the equipment is damaged later on due to the use of an inferior filter.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/best-practices-to-maintain-filters\/#The_Purpose_Of_Using_Filters\" >The Purpose Of Using Filters<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/best-practices-to-maintain-filters\/#Importance_of_Filters\" >Importance of Filters<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/best-practices-to-maintain-filters\/#Things_That_Affect_the_Performance_of_a_Filter\" >Things That Affect the Performance of a Filter<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/best-practices-to-maintain-filters\/#The_Filter_Media\" >The Filter Media<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/best-practices-to-maintain-filters\/#Filter_Construction\" >Filter Construction<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/best-practices-to-maintain-filters\/#Filter_Canister\" >Filter Canister<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Purpose_Of_Using_Filters\"><\/span><b>The Purpose Of Using Filters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your equipment functions due to fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid and filters serve the purpose of ensuring that whilst circulating throughout your machine\u2019s system, these fluids remain clean. Filters play an important role in ensuring that all parts of the engine are properly lubricated. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are a few different types of filters used in <\/span><b>construction equipment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><em><strong>Fuel filters<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><em><strong>Engine oil filters<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><em><strong>Hydraulic fuel filters<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><em><strong>Transmission filters<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_Filters\"><\/span><b>Importance of Filters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While circulating throughout the equipment, oil and hydraulic fluids become contaminated with small particles of dirt and component wear. Failure to remove these contaminants from the fluids might result in the equipment getting seriously damaged. In order to maximize the performance of your <\/span><b>construction equipment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you need to use the right filters that will help in prolonging the life of your machine. The filter you use should be able to capture any dirt or other contaminants while it is in use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_That_Affect_the_Performance_of_a_Filter\"><\/span><b>Things That Affect the Performance of a Filter<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are three major components of a filter that have an effect on its performance.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Filter_Media\"><\/span>The Filter Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The filter media or material is where contaminants like dirt or component wear become trapped when the fluid is passing through it. Since they play such a key role in trapping contaminants it is important to pay attention to what material they are made of. If the material being used as the filter media is not strong enough to last through the interval between changes, the filter might fall apart. Make sure that the material being used for the filter is tough and will be able to perform well doing its lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filter_Construction\"><\/span><b>Filter Construction<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing a filter, it is important to consider how the filter was constructed. The filter of your equipment should be able to trap the finest of particles without getting clogged and becoming ineffective in the process. If the capacity of the filter is not appropriate the bypass valve might get triggered to open up too early. This would result in the unfiltered fluids entering the system, ultimately damaging it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filter_Canister\"><\/span><b>Filter Canister<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important component of the filter is its canister. The filter canister needs to be strong so it does not collapse even under high pressure. If it is not strong enough to handle high pressure and ends up collapsing, it would result in unfiltered fluids entering the machine\u2019s system.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want your equipment to perform well consistently, you need to make sure that &hellip;
