HIGH-PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:HISTORY
The Purolator subsidiary in Öhringen takes
over responsibility for
the European market.
In the same year,
MAHLE joins Knecht,
which produces filters
for Purolator.

1972

The Knecht company
merged into the MAHLE
group. In Öhringen, thecompany has now become
the largest employer with
800 employees, and thefilter division has become
the main pillar of the group.

1999

2016
Automatic and process filtration

1962

The American company
Purolator is establishing thefirst location of an international
subsidiary in Öhringen. In
addition to filters for motor
vehicles, industrial filters werealso produced from 1966.

1974

MAHLE buys Purolator Öhringen,but continues to produce the filter
systems under the well-known
brand. After the license agreement
expired in 1990, filters fromÖhringen were only sold under theKnecht and MAHLE brand names.

Hydraulic filtration

2006 - 2016

MAHLE takes over Norddeutsche-Filter-Vertriebs GmbH (NFV)
and AKO Filter GmbH. From 2011,
MAHLE Filtersysteme GmbH andMAHLE Industriefiltration GmbHin Öhringen will operate as two
independent companies underone roof.

The American filter specialist
Filtration Group integrates
the industrial filtration sector
into the corporate family. Thecompany, a subsidiary ofMadison Industries, operates
over 100 locations in 28countries.

Filtration Group Industrial hydraulic and automatic filters ensure reliable plant operation bycleaning the cooling lubricants in metalworking operations.

INDUSTRIAL PARTS CLEANINGINDUSTRIAL COMPONENT CLEANINGWITH MAXIMUM EFFICIENCYPRECISE OPERATION, EFFICIENT DIRT SEPARATION, and maximum employee protection are themain features of our filter systems. As our automatic filters independently clean during operation,
they do not cause any process interruptions. Thismeans that operations can be maintained, evenwhen using duplex filters: if a filter needs to be replaced, the employee can simply manually switch
to the second filter. Our innovative aerosol mist
separators reliably extract harmful aerosols that arecaused by cooling lubricants when working with
fast-rotating tools directly from the work area. In
areas where short, highly abrasive chips are generated, star-pleated filter elements are gently cleaned
with our patented cleaning system. This leads toless wear on the machine.

Duplex filters

The demands on the quality and cleanliness of surfaces, as well as residual dirt
and particulate levels in cleaning processes are constantly rising. Our perfectly
coordinated filtration and separation systems ensure the high availability of
the cleaning fluids with a high degree of purity – with maximum efficiency andenvironmental compatibility, as well as shorter process times.

LGA aerosol mist separators

When manufacturing complex parts, automatic
filters significantly reduce coarse impurities from coolinglubricants. In doing so, they eliminate the need for cleaning and prevent quality losses in the process. For thesubsequent component cleaning, we offer candle filters,basket strainer filters, automatic backflush filters, and oil/water separators for cleaning media filtration based onyour individual requirements. Oil/water separators enable
the reliable removal of oil from critical process media,
such as detergents.
