The Racor Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, is pleased to remind the public of the Racor Air Cleaner Filter Service Indicator designed to take the guesswork out of air cleaner element replacement.
Racor Engine Air Filters trap up to 8 times more contaminants than conventional, single-stage, pleated paper filters, eliminating soot plating, salt and water ingestion and surface loading. Because the synthetic media is water-repelling, Racor Air Filters also eliminate a host of moisture-related problems such as icing and corrosion. They will not prematurely clog from the oily carbon soot in exhaust fumes. All this and extra capacity means more efficient engine operation, lower maintenance costs and better overall performance.
Its operation is simple and foolproof. As dirt captured by the filter cartridge gradually builds up, the system pressure drop increases and is indicated by the Service Indicator on an easy-to-read scale. The indicator locks up at the point of maximum restriction so readings can be taken with or without the engine running. When the desired change-out point is reached, the filter cartridge is easily reset by simply pushing the button at the bottom of the unit.
The Filter Service Indicator lets you know exactly when to replace filter elements. It reduces unnecessary labor and element costs by avoiding premature replacement, maximizing air filter element life. Saving one filter element change-out can more than cover the cost of the Service Indicator. It’s a small price to pay for a potentially large gain year after year.
