Advancing Filtration for a Cleaner World
For over 110 years, Donaldson Company has been at the forefront of filtration technology. From South African farms to deep-level mines, Donaldson filters protect critical engines and industrial equipment against the damage caused by contaminated air, fuel, hydraulics, and lubricants.
Brand Story
110 Years of Filtration Science
Founded in 1915, Donaldson Company began by solving one of the era's most pressing problems — engine contamination in the dusty conditions of early industrial America. Over a century later, the challenge is the same, but the science has advanced dramatically.
Today, Donaldson operates 10 Innovation Centers across North America, Europe, and Asia, where over 1,300 engineers and scientists develop the filtration technologies that protect the world's most critical industrial and agricultural equipment.
In South Africa, Donaldson filters are the benchmark for mining haul trucks, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, long-haul fleets, and marine engines — wherever contamination means downtime, Donaldson is the answer.
Proprietary Technology
The Technology Behind the Badge
Every Donaldson product is built on decades of materials science. These are the technologies that set them apart.
Ultra-Web
Electrostatically charged synthetic nano-fibres that capture dust on the filter surface rather than deep in the media. Delivers 2× the dust capacity of cellulose at lower pressure drop — protecting your engine while maximising power output.
PowerCore
Next-generation compact rectangular air filtration elements. PowerCore technology delivers 3× the capacity of traditional round elements in half the space — the choice for modern, space-constrained equipment.
Donaldson Blue
The premium heavy-duty line — engineered for the most demanding environments. Donaldson Blue filters are the standard for critical high-value equipment: mining haul trucks, long-haul fleets, and marine propulsion.
Duramax
Duramax lube filters with dual synthetic media layers combine full-flow primary filtration with superior dirt-holding capacity. Anti-drain back valves ensure fast cold-start protection on every ignition cycle.
