Contaminated air filter media is often classified as chemical waste, resulting in high disposal costs for end users when changing out elements. Recognizing the need for an eco-friendly solution that protects the environment and lowers cost of ownership for users, Parker developed the ABL Series air filter / reservoir breather and associated replacement elements.
ABL Series replacement elements contain no metal parts and feature a totally disposable media pack, which reduces chemical waste. Depending on the circumstances, disposal and processing costs can be reduced by 50%, enabling users to realize lower cost of ownership.

ABL Series filter replacement elements utilize high-efficiency glass fiber media (3 micron abs for air) with high dirt-holding capacity. The elements provide excellent protection against airborne contaminants entering hydraulic reservoirs, which can damage critical system components, including pumps and cylinders, resulting in costly downtime.
The elements are available in two sizes: the ABL1 for airflows up to 1000 L/min (264 GPM) and the ABL2 for airflows up to 2000 L/min (528 GPM). ABL Series breathers / air filters are ideally suited for end users who are seeking high performance, while minimizing the environmental footprint of their machinery. Typical applications include saw mills, agricultural machines, articulated dump trucks, forestry equipment, wheeled loaders, lubricated systems, excavators, industrial power units, and mobile cranes.
