Construction machinery - power shovels, backhoe loaders, mini-excavators, loaders and others available on the market rely heavily on regular filter changes for their good condition, among other things.

Hydraulic filters and their replacement in an excavator, loader and any other construction machine is crucial to ensure proper functioning of the entire hydraulic system, all components of the hydraulic system will work properly only if the fluid contained in the system is clean. 

The primary function of a hydraulic filter is to stop all particles that could cause seizing of hydraulic system components such as the pump, distributors, cylinders and hydraulic engine. Thus, a hydraulic filter captures all contaminants such as dirt, fluff, dust, water, oil sludge, rust or other reactive chemicals and prevents them from re-entering the fluid flow and damaging individual equipment components. 

The consequences of not replacing hydraulic filters are very serious and should not be underestimated under any circumstances. The most common symptoms of clogged hydraulic filters, which can be observed when the machine is running, are a significant decrease in capability and driving force resulting from a reduction in hydraulic pressure. 

This results in slower functioning of the fixture or, for example, slower arm movement. Another consequence can be the overheating of the entire system, which occurs when the oil temperature rises. In addition, a common undesirable symptom that interferes with fluidity and causes great discomfort and irregularities are also the vibrations of the machine precisely due to the accumulation of dirt and contaminants in the hydraulic system.

Therefore, always follow the machine manufacturer's recommendations, which, based on hours worked, clearly indicate when such replacement should take place to ensure smooth and efficient functioning, operator safety and the longest possible machine lifespan. 

Regular machine service and regular replacement of wore out filters is the best way to keep your machine running and avoid unplanned downtime. What it also important here is the proper selection of the right filters.
