It only takes eight ounces of dirt to destroy the engine of a heavy duty machine. This fact makes Cia Hydraulics air filters, which are 99.9 percent efficient, critical to the life of an engine.

There are many components to consider when selecting air filters. One of the most important elements is the type of sealing gasket. Cia Hydraulics premium air filters use more expensive compounds like silicone, rather than foam or rubber gaskets, in order to assure a proper seal under harsh conditions.

The fuel filter is often the forgotten filter. Yet the fuel put into diesel and off-road equipment, more often than not, contains contaminants such as dirt, rust, scale and water. These impurities can plug fuel injectors and carburetors, resulting in engine malfunction or deterioration.

These contaminants often originate from dirty and rusty storage tanks, and as the vehicle ages, from corrosion within the fuel system components. All the more reason to invest in high-quality Cia Hydraulics fuel filters and to maintain them at recommended intervals.

Oil is the life-blood of an engine, which means the oil filter should never be taken for granted, especially in harsh heavy-duty environments. The small price maintenance teams must pay for premium filters is well worth the cost when you consider the components that make up an oil filter.

Cia Hydraulics heavy duty oil filters are also available in XD (extended drain), XE (extra efficiency) and ecoLAST (double oil drain intervals) versions.

Heavy truck, off-highway, agricultural and construction vehicles and equipment depend on hydraulic fluids to power many of their critical functions. To operate at peak efficiency, fluid contaminants must be kept to an absolute minimum – no small challenge given the rugged environments these vehicles and equipment work in every day. Cia Hydraulics has applied its superior filter design and manufacturing expertise to produce high quality hydraulic filters for a variety of applications.

Contaminants can enter your transmission fluid system in the manufacturing process. They can also enter the transmission through the vent or through the dipstick and fill tube during fluid level checking/filling. Most of the time, however, contaminants are the result of normal wear. These contaminants consist of metal chips and flakes from gears and bushings and fine fibrous material from clutch facings.

Cia Hydraulics transmission filters protect transmissions against contaminants in the transmission fluid system. Proper filtration helps improve transmission life by minimizing wear and preventing sticking and scoring of sensitive shift control valves. In the event of a part failure, the filter also guards against secondary damage to other parts and thus helps to minimize repair costs.
