When Airflow Fails, Equipment Fails — Fix the Hidden Cause

Airflow collapse was quietly driving overheating, failures, and rising costs for one OEM—until they uncovered a filter flaw hiding in plain sight. See how they solved it.

This case study follows a heavy equipment manufacturer struggling with airflow restriction, overheating risks, premature metal filter failures, and long, unreliable lead times. You’ll see how their team partnered with a filtration specialist to reassess durability, materials, and fit — and select the right metal filter for harsh, high-dust, high-vibration environments. 

The case study breaks down the evaluation process, design decisions, and implementation steps, then quantifies the results: improved airflow and cooling stability, longer filter life with fewer changeouts, reduced downtime and maintenance, and a more dependable OEM supply chain.
