PICOLINO Air Filter Systems for Construction Machinery
A PICOLINO air filter system is a compact air filtration unit for construction machinery and technical applications with limited installation space, designed for defined airflow rates and stable filtration performance.
PICOLINO systems are used in compact machines, агрегates and off-highway applications and are part of the air filters for construction machinery. They are specifically applied where installation space, weight and system integration are the determining factors.
Within the MANN+HUMMEL air filter systems, PICOLINO stands for compact design, defined airflow management and consistent filtration under restricted installation conditions.

Function within the intake system
PICOLINO systems clean the intake air before it enters the engine and are designed for applications with defined airflow requirements.
In contrast to multi-stage air filter systems with integrated pre-separation such as PICLON or IQORON, PICOLINO systems are intended for lower airflow volumes and compact installation environments.
The focus is on consistent filtration, simple integration and optional noise reduction – not on maximum pre-separation or high-performance filtration for extreme dust conditions.
System variants: intake filters and silencer filters
PICOLINO systems are available in different functional variants:
- Intake filters: standard air filtration for compact engine applications
- Silencer filters: combination of air filtration and intake noise reduction
Silencer filters are used where, in addition to filtration, targeted reduction of intake noise is required – for example in noise-sensitive environments or compact machine designs.
Technical features of PICOLINO systems
- Compact design for limited installation space
- Designed for defined airflow in compact engines and equipment
- Optional noise reduction through integrated silencer function
- Plastic housing with low weight and corrosion resistance
- Metal-free filter elements for simplified disposal
- Adaptable through different connection and system configurations
Applications and use cases
PICOLINO air filter systems are used in applications where compact design and defined filtration are essential:
- Compact excavators
- Compact loaders
- Municipal machinery
- Small engines and mobile equipment
- Stationary units with limited installation space
Typical operating conditions include restricted installation space, defined airflow volumes and varying operating conditions.
Selection and identification
The correct PICOLINO system is selected based on system designation, reference number and machine requirements.
- PICOLINO system designation
- Reference number of the existing system
- Machine model and application profile
- Airflow requirement and engine specification
- Installation space and connection geometry
An incorrectly selected air filter system can result in insufficient filtration, increased wear and operational issues.
Position within the filtration system
PICOLINO air filter systems are part of the overarching category air filters for construction machinery and belong to the group of complete air filter systems.
Unlike air filter elements, they represent a complete unit consisting of housing, airflow management and filtration.
Other system series within the MANN+HUMMEL air filter systems include EUROPICLON, ENTARON, PICLON and IQORON, which are designed for higher airflow rates and more demanding operating conditions.
PICOLINO systems are therefore the solution for compact applications with limited installation space and defined airflow requirements.
