How to distinguish genuine from fake filter elements?

The filter element, as an important part in the operation of tractors, its authenticity is related to the service life and safety of tractors. With the development of The Times and the advancement of technology, the packaging, appearance, paint, weight and other aspects of fake filter elements are also improving. So, how can one distinguish between genuine and fake filter elements used on tractors?

First, observe the appearance of the filter element. The surface of the genuine filter element is smooth and flat, with clear markings, no blurriness or damage. Counterfeit products, on the other hand, may have problems such as blurred handwriting and incorrect colors.

Secondly, check the material of the filter element. Genuine products are usually made of high-quality materials, with uniform texture and good feel. Counterfeit products may use inferior materials and have poor quality. The purpose of manufacturing fake filter elements is to sell them by taking advantage of the reputation of the original factory filter elements and make profits. They only make the visible parts look a little better and cut down on the invisible parts as much as possible.

Fake filter elements are not only hard to distinguish by appearance, but also by price. Counterfeiters, in pursuit of maximum profits, will surely sell at a price comparable to that of genuine filter elements. If I tell you it's a genuine filter element and the price is extremely low, wouldn't that be like "there's no silver here"?

Observe and feel the changes when using the machine. The technical difficulty and the most valuable part of the filter element lies in the internal filtering material, which we call filter paper. The technical requirements for filter paper are: to achieve filtration accuracy while minimizing flow resistance as much as possible, and to have a sufficient capacity to hold dirt. Keep the change in flow resistance as small as possible for as long as possible. The filter paper used in the fake filter element is not up to standard. To achieve a certain filtering effect, the filter paper is made finer, but as a result, the flow resistance increases. Some non-original filter elements increase the number of folds to achieve a smaller flow resistance by expanding the unfolded area. The seemingly dense filter paper on the surface actually has dirt blocking it, causing the flow resistance to rise rapidly in a short time and shortening the filter element's lifespan quickly. Not only does such filter paper have little filtering effect, but long-term use can also damage the tractor.

Finally, choose to purchase through regular channels. When making a purchase, ask for an invoice and warranty certificate to ensure reliable after-sales service.

By using the above methods, we believe you can easily distinguish the authenticity of tractor filter elements. Remember to choose genuine and original factory filter elements to ensure the normal operation and safety of the tractor!
