MANN+HUMMEL India has introduced WIX range of automotive and industrial filters for Indian market. In 2016, MANN+HUMMEL acquired the global filtration operations of Affinia Group, manufacturer of the WIX and FILTRON brand of filters.

"With a history steeped in heavy-duty filtration tradition, WIX Filters knows that choosing your filters is a critical consideration that can significantly impact the long-term profitability of your entire fleet," says Kewin Kuriath, Director, Independent Aftermarket, MANN+HUMMEL India. That fact holds even more relevance today, as fuel prices and vehicle maintenance take more and more of every fleet's operating expenditure.

We make the best filters for all heavy-duty equipment, no matter the vehicle and industry. Agriculture, trucks and buses, construction, mining, logging and marine, we've got it covered from oil, air, cabin air, coolant, and fuel systems to hydraulic and transmission filtration systems. WIX heavy-duty filter engineers have more than 150 years of combined experience and more than 30 US patents. It's no wonder WIX is the global leader in heavy-duty filtration.

Heavy-duty air filters
The average engine consumes about 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of diesel fuel it burns, and as little as eight ounces of dirt can destroy a heavy-duty engine. A typical off-road vehicle is exposed to 1.5-2.5 tonnes of airborne dirt each year, meaning first-rate filtration is critical to the life of the engine. The air filter on a vehicle plays an important role in protecting the engine from contaminants of all sizes-from easily visible granules of dirt and sand to microscopic soot particles-which can cause premature engine wear and failure.

Heavy-duty oil filters
Oil is the lifeblood of any vehicle and this holds true for all trucks and off-road heavy-duty equipment applications. Many operators tend to take oil filtration for granted. However, this small and inexpensive portion of their overall system plays a vital role in protecting their engines from premature wear and potential failures. Whether your heavy-duty vehicle has a gasoline or diesel engine, our oil filters help keep you up and running with reduced downtime.

Heavy-duty fuel filters
A fuel filter's job is harder than you think. Today's fuel injectors require cleaner fuel because they are less tolerant of fine solid particles and water-reducing lubricity. The diesel fuel that powers heavy-duty engines can be filled with contaminants like dirt, rust, scale, algae, ash and water. This contamination can rob your engine of power and even cause fuel system failures. WIX fuel filters work harder than ever to offer unmatched fuel-cleaning performance and quick and easy filter replacement.

Cabin air filters
Our cabin air filters trap and eliminate harmful microbes entering the filter media, keeping the air inside the vehicle's passenger cabin cleaner and healthier. They also protect the vital HVAC system, helping to reduce the number of overall problems and keeping ongoing maintenance inline.

Transmission filters
Highly-engineered transmission filters protect against contaminants in the fluid system. Proper filtration helps improve transmission life by minimising wear and preventing sticking and scoring of sensitive shift control valves. A WIX transmission filter helps the transmission fluid efficiently transmit energy while cooling and lubricating the moving parts, thereby minimising downtime.

Coolant filters Surprisingly, 53 per cent of all catastrophic, premature diesel-engine failures are directly related to improper cooling system maintenance techniques and habits. Providing the correct water, antifreeze, filters and supplemental coolant additives is critical to coolant system life. That's why WIX has put years of research and development into filter media technology to create the industry's highest performing, most dependable coolant filters.
