Time to upsell cabin filters, HELLA advises workshops

Workshops have a large part to play when it comes to the air quality within their customers’ vehicles, HELLA Hengst, a global leader in filtration and fluid management has said.

HELLA Hengst provides the aftermarket with a comprehensive replacement cabin filter solution, available in both active carbon and anti-bacterial (Blue.care) configurations.

A HELLA Hengst spokesperson saidsaid: “By specifying a HELLA Hengst Blue.care cabin filter, they can optimise the air quality for the direct benefit of their customers in terms of a reduction in pollutants within the vehicle, which aids the driver’s concentration, makes them feel less tired and subsequently, reduces the risk of accidents due to driver fatigue.

“A standard cabin filter is certainly a good first step as, in addition to its protective role over the air conditioning system, it will remove pollen and fine dust, whereas a carbon activated version goes even further by filtering out bad-smelling odours and hazardous gases such as ozone, smog and exhaust gases.

“However, the HELLA Hengst Blue.care filter also neutralises allergens and bacteria, making the environment particularly suitable for the family car.”

The HELLA Hengst Blue.care filter’s first line of defence comes through an electrostatic medium that keeps out coarse particles, which is supported by a filter fleece that increases its dust retention capacity.

An active carbon layer separates out vapours, odours and harmful gases, while so called ‘meltblown’ medium filters out fine dust including micro-particles with diameters smaller than 2.5 m.

Finally, the biofunctional layer contains nanosilver, which has natural anti-bacterial properties, as well as an anti-microbial effect and jointly provides the five level protection from pollen, dust, mold/spores, odours and bacteria that makes the Blue.care the filter of choice for the discerning workshop.

HELLA Hengst’s Blue.care cabin filter offers the driver and passengers enhanced protection.

Due to the sheer quantity of air cabin filters have to cope with, HELLA Hengst recommends that they are replaced annually or every 10,000 miles, which ever comes first.

However, vehicles that spend most of their time being driven in busy traffic should have them changed twice a year, irrespective of their annual mileage.
