The construction industry is one of the key industries worldwide. It has to provide housing for a growing population and implement major infrastructure projects that are being planned worldwide, including as part of the energy transition. Moreover, it is not only the risks that are increasing, for example due to supply and material bottlenecks: growing expectations and requirements for sustainability and digital solutions are also presenting the construction industry with major challenges.
Construction machinery, heavy-duty and commercial vehicles that are in use around the clock must function reliably. Cost-intensive downtimes caused by wear and tear, and maintenance must be minimized.
One of the greatest threats? Construction dust. Not only can the different types of construction dust created as a by-product within the industry harm engines and machine components, they also pose a significant risk to employee health. Breathing in construction dust, especially tiny dust particles, can have severe consequences. The requirements for air cleaners and filter systems in the construction sector are substantial. Only when they function effectively and efficiently, even under the most challenging conditions, can they ensure clean and reliable operation.
MANN+HUMMEL develops both standardized and customer-specific filtration solutions to endure a wide variety of tough construction site conditions, whilst at the same time enhancing safety and performance. Our product portfolio helps protect construction machinery, heavy-duty and commercial vehicles from the daily wear triggered by construction dust and other airborne pollutants. Smart cabin air filters ensure cleaner air inside the vehicle. In addition, our innovative, state-of-the art predictive maintenance software for construction machinery aids in the implementation of intelligent preventive maintenance on construction vehicles and machines.

Built to last: Construction machinery filters from MANN+HUMMEL
MANN+HUMMEL develops filters and filter systems for heavy duty and off-road applications. Our portfolio includes both modular product families and customized solutions for construction machinery employed in mining, earthmoving or road and building construction. Regardless of whether it’s filters for excavators, wheel loaders, skid steer loaders, dump trucks or bulldozers, our solutions simultaneously help to ensure high separation efficiencies while helping to extend the equipment’s service life. This also provides reliable protection and helps optimize operating times.
- We protect the components and engines of construction machinery, as well as heavy-duty and commercial vehicles, from wear and tear, and downtimes with our efficient filtration products. Whether it’s highly effective engine air cleaner systems, hydraulic oil filters or high-performance fuel filters, we filter out construction dust and other potential hazards from the air and fluids before they can pose any threat. This provision also extends to electrified drives.
- We shield employees because our cabin air filters and smart cabin air filtration systems reliably and effectively prevent fine dust, gaseous components, bacteria, pollen and other threats from infiltrating the interior of construction machinery.
- We increase the comfort of machine operators with our innovative activated carbon system. This patent-protected activated carbon matrix can be fitted precisely under the air-permeable textile outer fabrics of seat covers, where it impresses with its unmatched odor and moisture-binding properties. Unpleasant odors are effectively filtered out of the air, while the innovative fabric can absorb over 100 g/m² of moisture.
- We support customers with the predictive maintenance of construction machinery. Our advanced software, utilizing cutting-edge sensor technology, monitors the status of each filter in real-time. This ensures that the filters and filter systems within the construction machinery are utilized to their maximum efficiency - thereby leading to significant time and cost savings.
