BALDWIN FILTERS

Quality is the Top Priority at Baldwin Filters

Baldwin’s team of engineers continually looks for ways to improve our product.Working from the basic filtration design and using the latest technology like 3-D CAD modeling and stereo lithographic prototyping, the engineering group leaders the way with innovative,patented designs such as Radial Seal air filters,self-venting drain valves for fuel/water separators and controlled release coolant products.Our goal is to design filters that meet or exceed OEM specifications.All Baldwin filters are tested in our stat-of-the-art technical center and undergo extensive field testing.Quality is Baldwin filters’ first priority.Baldwin Filters is not just a filter assembler like many large companies.A vertically integrated manufacturing process allows Baldwin to provide maximum control and consistency by not only producing filters,but also by manufacturing filter components.The practice of building a filter from the base up allows quality and cost control,giving Baldwin Filters an advantage over the competition.To back up its commitment to quality,Baldwin Filters has achieved and maintains TS 16949 and ISO 9001 certifications in its facilities.

Oil filter

1.Steel Coil Spring keeps its shape,maintaining a positive load pressure on the adapter seal. 2.Heavy-Duty,All-Metal Housing provides unequaled burst-and pulse-withstanding strength. 3.Cellulose/Synthetic Blend Mediaspecifically developed to increase structural strength,efficiency and contaminant capacity. 4.Spiral Wound Louvered Centertube with fluted ribs allows for maximum flow and adds strength to resist pressure surges. 5.Patented Series Design provides up to 43 percent more filtering surface to increase contaminant holding capacity and element life.Full-flow and by-pass elements run almost the full length of the filter enclosure. 6.Radial Post Seal separates the full-flow portion of the filter from the by-pass. 7.Full-Flow Spud Seal separates clean oil from dirty return oil. 8.Heavy-Duty Baseplate is joined to the can with a double-rolled,tuck lock seam to resist leakage due to high pressure.

Identifying "Genuine Baldwin" Filters

Counterfeit parts cost our industry $12 billion a year. Beyond that, counterfeiting takes away good manufacturing jobs, creates safety risks to consumers and technicians and destroys the brand reputation of legitimate manufacturers.

It's not always apparent that a part is not a genuine part, but there are several things to look for and consider when purchasing a genuine Baldwin Filter. In all photos, the counterfeit filter is on the left, and the Genuine Baldwin filter is on the right.

Packaging
If the packaging appears flimsy, lacks the name brand or logo, or has graphics or a brand that are similar to, but slightly different from, Baldwin, it may not be a Genuine Baldwin product.

Pricing
Baldwin filters are competitively priced. If you are offered a Baldwin filter at a price that seems too good to be true, it may be just that.

Color
The color of a Baldwin spin-on filter may vary significantly from standard Baldwin red. Also, keep in mind that in certain cases, Baldwin filters may not be red (e.g., desiccant filters, etc.) If in doubt, call us (see contact information below).
Graphics
Graphics on the filters, including the logo, may be missing or incorrect. In the photo to the left, the counterfeit filter has 2 I's in Baldwin.

Components
A counterfeit filter may look right upon first glance, but upon closer examination, you may find major differences. Some places to look include:
Dimensions - The dimensions of the filter may vary significantly from those of a genuine Baldwin filter.

Media Packs - Counterfeit media packs often have an obviously lower pleat count than Baldwin. In addition, the pleats may be deformed.
Date Code - Baldwin manufactured filters have a date code imprinted on them. The date code can appear with six or eleven digits.

UPC Code - The UPC code on a counterfeit filter may be missing or incorrect.

Country of Origin - Baldwin manufactured filters are marked with the country of origin. Baldwin has manufacturing plants in the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, South Africa, Morocco and China

Counterfeit filters and other parts are generally not made to provide the protection required by your equipment. Remember to inspect filters prior to installing or sale to ensure that you are using quality, genuine Baldwin filters.
