Varieties of filters for cars
The review was based on materials marketing research Russian market of automotive oil filters, its structure and dynamics of changes for the period from 2009 to 2012.
Potential market capacity of automotive oil filters in Russian Federation increases annually by an average of 1%.
The automobile oil filter consists of a filter element, return and bypass valve, combined in one housing, and serves to filter oxidation products, soot and wear particles of engine parts.
Now in cars, there are mainly two types of oil filters - the filter insert and the filter assembly. From design and quality oil filter depends on the durability of the engine.
IN modern automotive industry Usually, two oil purification schemes are used: full-flow, consisting of one filter, and combined, which also includes a bypass (partial-flow) filter.
At present, the full-flow oil cleaning system is most widely used in vehicles with gasoline engines. All the oil coming from oil pump, filtered and then pressurized into the engine.
Combined oil cleaning systems (as opposed to full-flow ones) better preserve the physical and chemical properties of the oil and, as a result, significantly increase the engine life.
Experts identify the following main reasons for rejecting oil filters:
poor quality and / or excessive thickness of filter paper - this reduces the life of the filter;
filter paper is unstable to high temperatures and oil - the filter will also quickly fail (much of the service life previously declared by the manufacturer);
the pressure at the inlet of the bypass valve is too low - unfiltered oil enters the engine;
low tightness or lack of a check valve - while the car is parked, oil will flow out of it.
Today the market is saturated with oil filters various manufacturers– from the world-renowned Mann and Knecht to filters produced by little-known companies. They differ not only in price, but also in quality.
In most cases, expensive oil filters differ from cheap counterparts, mainly these filters use a more thoughtful modern design. Therefore, in the segment of premium filters, there are practically no obvious “failures” in the process, and in the segment of economy class filters, examples of careless product execution can be easily found.
In the market of automotive oil filters, there are segments of filters of domestic and foreign manufacturers. The prices of foreign filters often vary from the cost original filter to a level that is three times higher.
Distribution of consumer preferences of car owners in the market of oil filters for cars and freight transport in the Russian Federation is shown in Fig. 1 and 2. Based on the research, it can be argued that about 80% of the Russian market is shared by the manufacturers of original filters - Fleetguard and TM Livny.
According to experts, in Russia, the interval for replacing oil filters approximately coincides with average annual mileage passenger car. Average mileage passenger car in Russia is currently 16.7 thousand km per year. Thus, it turns out that the volume of the oil filter market is approximately equal in number to the size of the passenger car fleet or slightly exceeds it. The potential of the oil filter market can be determined by the forecast for the development of the car park.
Crisis of 2008 - 2009 had almost no effect on Russian market oil filters for cars. True, some decline was observed in the segment trucks, as park owners switched to cheaper domestic filters. Thus, already at the beginning of 2010, demand was redistributed towards Russian products, however, those whose characteristics correspond to international standards, and the price is significantly lower than well-known brands.
As a result of the calculations, the market potential for oil filters for passenger cars in 2012 will be about 33.7 million units.
According to statistics, car park in Russia (together - cars and trucks, buses, tractors and special equipment) has about 30 million units. As already mentioned, the average annual demand for oil filters in Russia is estimated at about 34 million pieces. Today the market is developing most actively foreign cars, and not only cars, but also trucks, agricultural and special equipment. Therefore, the trend towards an increase in demand for oil filters for foreign equipment is quite natural.
All major players - Russian and Western manufacturers of oil filters - are already represented on the Russian market and have occupied certain niches, Asian manufacturers are quite active. The area of the strongest competition - medium price segment. Intense competition is manifested in the segment of foreign cars. Russian manufacturers certainly not easy to find and maintain your place in the market Supplies for foreign cars.
Oil filters are a sought-after product, which is why the so-called packaging companies are interested in them, which do not have own production. This fact is also an additional incentive for tougher market competition. With the current democratic nature of market mechanisms, it is very easy to place an order for the manufacture of filters with a manufacturing company under its own brand, without having its own production.
All modern oil filters are basically the same in terms of design, differing only in manufacturing technology and material quality. The main part of the oil filter is filter element which is made from special paper.
How to choose an oil filter?
First you need to carefully inspect the product and pay attention to the quality of its body: it must be durable, able to withstand pressure drops and resist corrosion so that oil does not leak during operation. Similar requirements should be made to the seal, but the quality of the valves, unfortunately, is much more difficult to determine by eye.
The main part of the filter is the filter element itself, which is made of special paper. It must have a number of characteristics: temperature range performance, dust-holding capacity, screening efficiency, high strength, aging resistance, which ultimately will provide a high degree cleaning. Poor-quality paper can filter well for several thousand kilometers, but then, through gusts, dirt will enter the engine. Too loose paper is not able to effectively clean the oil at all, which leads to accelerated wear engine.
It is important who the manufacturer of the filter is. Companies issuing quality filters, indicate the country of issue, the exact address, Contact phone numbers. Often such products are actually released in China in an unlicensed production. At the same time, the brand is often registered in one of the European countries, then the cheap product is labeled with a resounding brand name and sent to emerging markets.
Sometimes people who have bought a cheap fake filter reassure themselves with the thought that it will not last long anyway and there will soon be a great chance to replace it with a better one. However, the problem is that using a low-grade oil filter can cause irreparable damage to other parts of the car's engine: a faulty emergency valve let the oil bypass the filter, and the slag that poured into the engine will quickly disable it. In this case, the valve may jam so that the filter housing will burst and oil will flow out of the engine. A filter insert made of low-quality filter material can tear and clog with its residues. oil channels in the engine.
The range of oil filters is large, and their prices are affordable. But not every filter is suitable for your car.
You need to be able to not only do right choice, but also to distinguish a real item from a fake.

At least after every 10,000 miles, the driver who cares about his car changes the air filter. Thus, we can conclude that this is a product, the demand for which will always be. The production technology is simple, and the equipment for the production of filters for cars is relatively inexpensive, which attracts entrepreneurs who want to master this line of business.
Air filter functions
The main task of an automobile air filter is to clean the air entering the engine. good detail subject to her timely replacement traps up to 99% of "foreign" particles contained in the air. A quality product does not lose its properties throughout the entire service life. In addition to directly filtering the air, it also dampens noise and regulates the temperature. Thanks to the air filter, the risks of various damages are significantly reduced. car engine and minimize wear on parts.
Types of air filters for cars
Possible production air filters for cars made of paper, and they can also be inertial oil or coal. The shape may also be different. Equipment for the production of filters for cars uses a special raw material - cellulose fiber paper. It is protected by a special impregnation, so that it is not afraid of water, oil or fuel. Paper products do a better job of their direct task, so they are somewhat more expensive than coal products. The filtering ability is further enhanced by the fact that the paper is folded into an accordion.
Various designs of air filters
The following types of paper filters are distinguished by shape:
- cylindrical;
- panel;
- frameless.
Cylindrical air filters are used mainly in cars with carburetor-type engines. In modern cars are mainly used for panel-type products. This design is optimal, since with its small volume the filter has a large filtration area.
How to produce car filters
The production technology of air filters is quite simple. It lies in the fact that a special rotating drum feeds the paper between two rotating cylinders, which bend it, making an accordion. The counter counts the same number of folds. After that, the paper is sent along a conveyor belt to a circular saw, which makes a cut at regular intervals.
The upper and lower parts of the filter are made using aluminum molds coated with liquid wax, and liquid polyurethane. All operations with molds, namely waxing, filling with polyurethane, subsequent transfer of the finished product to the cooling grid, are carried out by a manipulator.
Equipment for the production of filters for cars represents almost completely automated line, which can be served by only one worker. Its tasks include laying blanks of corrugated paper on the bottom of the filter, removing finished products from the chute into which they fall after the manipulator has finished its work. Packing of finished products is also carried out by the line operator. Thus, a complete production cycle takes approximately 20 minutes.
You can collect a line from constituent parts. However, by purchasing ready-made, assembled and configured equipment, you can minimize labor costs, maximize work productivity, and also protect yourself from problems with the maintenance and repair of devices.
