We’re expanding our Donaldson Blue product line with a first ever Donaldson Blue
Hydraulic Filters.

Like the rest of the Donaldson Blue line of air, lube, fuel and bulk tank filters, these new
hydraulic filters offer best-in-class performance. Donaldson Blue Hydraulic Filters deliver
significant advantages over competitive filters.

• Superior efficiency − for cleaner fluid and less

damaging contaminant in your hydraulic systems
• Longer filter life − for extended filter change intervals,
reducing time and expense for servicing equipment
• Reduced flow restriction − to minimize energy loss
and time in filter bypass, even during cold starts

Long story short − Donaldson Blue Hydraulic Filters deliver

better system protection and performance when compared
with Schroeder KZ5 and KZ10 filters.

By the Numbers
How do Donaldson Blue Hydraulic Filters deliver increased
system protection and reduced operating costs? They deliver
the optimal balance of efficiency, capacity and flow restriction.
Proof is in the performance.

Efficiency
• DBH6018 − 5 micron filters remove 1.5 times more contaminant than Schroeder KZ5
• DBH6019 − 10 micron filters remove 14 times more contaminant than Schroeder KZ10

Capacity
• DBH6018 delivers 18% greater contaminant holding capacity (longer filter life) than
Schroeder KZ5
• DBH6019 delivers 34% greater contaminant holding capacity than Schroeder KZ10

Flow Restriction
• Donaldson Blue Hydraulic filters deliver up to 37% lower restriction than Schroeder KZ filters

Donaldson Blue Hydraulic Filters help protect equipment, reduce maintenance cost
and increase equipment uptime − which has a direct impact on your bottom line.
