In addition to standard air cleaners with or without cyclone separators, MAHLE also provides customer-specific air filter elements and air filter housings for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Air filter elements of various types are used for filtering the intake air. Metal-free filter cartridges with efficient filter media and high dust holding capacity guarantee dust efficiency of up to 99.9 percent. Although cellulose media have predominantly been used for filtration in the past, MAHLE has meanwhile introduced new developments aimed at achieving higher efficiency and dust holding capacities. To this end, multi-layer filter materials made from cellulose, meltblown and nanofibers as well as completely synthetic non-woven materials have already been optimized for mass production.
New developments - air cleaners with activated carbon adsorbers
Owing to the statutory requirements of the North American market, HC adsorbers in the air intake are necessary for reducing emissions. In response to this, MAHLE has integrated an activated carbon element in its air cleaner modules. Hydrocarbons are therefore adsorbed which can then escape via the intake system when the engine is switched off.

Always a clean solution
Air Management Systems - competence for the entire air section
Even during the early years of the company, MAHLE recognized that effective cleaning of combustion air and lubricant is an indispensable element in improving the service life of engines and engine components. In line with this understanding, work began in 1926 on the development and production of air and oil filters. Only then was it possible to commence the reduced-wear use in series production of lightweight pistons developed by MAHLE. After having to concentrate on the core business with pistons during the war, re-entry was achieved by a participation in Knecht Filterwerke GmbH. Strong organic growth was accelerated by the acquisition of the Japanese Tennex Corporation, an important component of further expansion. This opened up markets outside Europe, with the result that today MAHLE is the number one worldwide supplier of filter products to the automobile industry.
