Picolight Filter

PICOLIGHT Air Filter Systems

A PICOLIGHT air filter system is a single-stage, lightweight air filtration system for construction equipment, designed for compact installation spaces, defined airflow rates and low pressure drop.

PICOLIGHT systems are used in compact machines and off-highway applications and are part of the construction equipment air filters category.

Within the MANN+HUMMEL air filter systems, PICOLIGHT stands for lightweight single-stage filters with defined airflow performance and reduced flow resistance.

System Classification and Differentiation

PICOLIGHT systems are designed as single-stage filters without integrated pre-separation. The focus is on low pressure drop, vibration-stable design and compact integration.

In contrast to multi-stage air filtration systems with pre-cleaning such as PICLON or IQORON, PICOLIGHT systems are intended for lower dust loads and defined airflow requirements.

Compared to PICOLINO systems, the focus is not on filtration stability under varying load conditions, but on minimizing weight and flow resistance.

Unlike individual air filter elements, PICOLIGHT systems form a complete unit consisting of housing, airflow guidance and filtration.

Design and Operating Characteristics

PICOLIGHT air filter systems are manufactured as metal-free plastic units and optimized for applications with limited installation space.

The single-stage filtration design results in low pressure drop, ensuring stable airflow and consistent engine air supply.

The construction is resistant to vibration and suitable for mobile machinery exposed to dynamic loads. In addition, the systems are corrosion-resistant and suitable for protected or enclosed installation environments.
