 and chemical technology for all engine-powered systems, introduces the next generation of air filtration technology with its Fleetguard Direct Flow[TM] Series engine air cleaner. The unique design provides significant reduction in size, allowing it to fit into areas conventional air cleaners do not.

Direct Flow[TM] air technology delivers numerous competitive benefits, including higher performance, increased engine protection, improved handling and greater installation flexibility, lower operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales , and environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1]  service filter disposal as it contains no metal components. This patented product fits a broad range of applications, including on and off highway vehicles, stationary compressor compressor, machine that decreases the volume of air or other gas by the application of pressure. Compressor types range from the simple hand pump and the piston-equipped compressor used to inflate tires to machines that use a rotating, bladed element to achieve  equipment, marine and offshore equipment.

"Fleetguard Direct Flow[TM] is designed to minimize air flow directional changes, optimizing performance," explained Michele Simon, Executive Director of Global Filtration Technology for Cummins Filtration. "Backed by Cummins Filtration's extensive experience in air system technology,

the Direct Flow[TM] air cleaner provides up to 50 percent higher performance and greater air filter life in a smaller product profile than conventional product designs."

The Direct Flow[TM] air cleaner comes with an optional, high efficiency pre-cleaner module, recommended in high dust environments, that removes up to 95 percent of dust and dirt particles before they reach the primary filter, further increasing the life of the filter. The primary filter is made from a highly optimized media arrayed in an efficiently pleated design that is over 99.9 percent efficient during the life of the filter.

Several media grades are available to best match customer needs. An optional secondary filter is available for further protection. Additionally, the air housing is made from an extremely durable composite material composite material or composite, any material made from at least two discrete substances, such as concrete. Many materials are produced as composites, such as the fiberglass-reinforced plastics used for automobile bodies and boat hulls, but the  for optimal product strength in the most demanding operating environments designed to enable easy service of the primary and secondary air filters.

"The Direct Flow[TM] air intake system was developed to meet the specific requirements of Tier 4 Cummins and other engine platforms and to offer a fully integrated air intake system. The new technology offers high performance per unit of volume and is a key enabling technology to meet the significantly lower emissions requirements," said Patrick Barge, Executive Director of Engineering and Technology for Cummins Filtration.
