Most filters look the same on the outside. It's what's inside that counts. Cummins Filtration exclusively designed StrataPore™ synthetic media in our Media Center for optimum performance and longer life. Unlike cellulose and microglass media, StrataPore™ is multi-layered, with an optimum number of layers for the desired level of particle removal.


StrataPore's™ benefits are:



Strength and durability
Less compromise of efficiency and life due to multi-layering
Organic contaminant tolerance
Lower filter restriction
Stronger and More Durable Filter Media
Our unique meltblown manufacturing process produces layers composed of continuous, high-strength polymeric fiber, which results in a stronger, more durable bond that maintains media strength.

ESI Compatibility
The ability to optimize individual sheets for desired particle-size removal provides StrataPore™ with increased total media filtration efficiency--particularly effective in extended service environments (ESI).

StrataPore™ offers this capability without sacrificing inorganic contaminant removal. With traditional media, trade offs are made between high efficiency and high capacity. StrataPore™ allows customers to extend service intervals without compromise.

Lower Filter Restriction: Higher Performance
Its unique layering capabilities also allow StrataPore™ to provide nearly 50% reduction of filter restriction during cold start. With traditional media, pore size must be reduced, increasing the pressure required to force oil through the media. The smaller range in StrataPore™ media results in more repeatable, controllable filtration performance.

Award Winning Performance
StrataPore™ has been recognized throughout the filtration industry as a superior innovation, including receipt of an award from the American Filtration Society for its technologically advanced design.

"Cummins Filtration" is revolutionizing air filtration design with the introduction of its patented OptiAir™ technology. The technology addresses key design requirements of all original equipment manufacturers:



Reduction in system size to fit shrinking engine compartments
Longer filter life to extend service intervals
Integrated precleaner to help extend filter life
Lower system restriction to deliver maximum engine performance
Reduced service time
OptiAir™ Air Technology:
Leadership through Innovation
OptiAir™ Delivers Longer Filter Life, Less Restriction.... All in a Smaller Package:



OptiAir™ air elements offer the following advantages over conventional radial seal designs.
Up to 50% greater capacity by increasing the effective media area resulting in extended service intervals, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
Up to 65% less initial restriction by increasing the air outlet area. OptiAir™ elements can handle higher CFM flow rates with lower initial restriction. Higher flow and lower restriction means the filter can do the work of other filters in a smaller overall package size.
