Donaldson Expands Filter Minder

April 12, 2021

Donaldson Filter Minder Connect is now available for monitoring fuel filters and engine oil condition on heavy-duty engines.

The system components can be install on equipment in minutes, according to the company, and it integrates into existing on-board telematics and fleet-management systems.

Filter Minder connect sensors can measure pressure drop and differential pressure on fuel filters and the condition of engine oil, including density, viscosity, dielectric constant, and resistivity.

The Filter Minder Connect sensors and receiver wirelessly transmit performance data to the cloud, and predictive analytics inform users when filters and engine oil are approaching the end of their optimal life. Fleets that utilize Geotab and Filter Minder Connect monitoring can receive fleet data and analytics on their laptop or mobile device via the MyGeotab dashboard.

“We’ve seen great success with our Filter Minder Connect monitoring solution, which has been commercially available for engine air filtration in on-highway trucks and off-road equipment for the past year,” said Nate Zambon, director of Filter Minder at Donaldson. “We are pleased to expand our connected technology to fuel filters and engine oil condition, helping fleet managers and heavy-duty operators optimize filter and fluid maintenance intervals to get the most out of their equipment.”
