– UFI Filters commercial office in Dubai for the Aftermarket of Africa and Middle East
Nogarole Rocca, 27th April 2018?– UFI Filters, a world leader in filtration technologies and thermal management showcases its expertise as a key provider for many leading global manufacturers and for the Aftermarket, at this year’s Automechanika in Dubai (1st – 3rd May 2018) –?Stand H24 Hall 3.
The presence at the most important international event for the Aftermarket sector in Africa and Middle East, confirms the expansion strategy of the company that has recently reinforced its Dubai office to strengthen customer service support as business ramps up in the UAE, and in the Middle East.
“A global company now in Dubai” is the message launched by the UFI and SOFIMA booth to mark the presence of the Group in this strategic geographical area.
Inside the spotlights are technologies developed by UFI Filters for some of the world’s most important manufacturers. The glass showcases will display examples of the company’s wide range of products.
The?oil filter for IVECO and NEW HOLLAND?applications, available in the Aftermarket catalogue as a complete module under the?UFI code 65.087.00 and SOFIMA S 5087 OC?and the replacing cartridge with the?UFI code 25.111.00 and SOFIMA S 5111 PE. The multi-layer pleated filter media ensures high-filtration efficiency (more 99.5% @12μ), high pressure resistance (more than 35 bar) and thanks to the plastic housing a lightweight construction.
The?complete module of the oil filter for BMW applications?with?replacement?available under?UFI 25.148.00 and SOFIMA S 5148 PE. The high technology module has a body made from plastic, reinforced with fiberglass that ensures significant weight savings, reduced fuel consumption and a drop in pollutant emissions. The filter can operate under pressures of up to 5 bar and even greater. The filter media maximizes the filter surface area minimizing the pressure drops and the efficiency.
The?fuel filter for BMW and MINI applications?–?UFI 31.926.01 and SOFIMA S 9261 B?– characterized by an aluminium casing and horizontal positioning directly connected to the chassis. This allows both the weight and size of the unit to be kept to a minimum. The internal filter element, with cellulose filtering media, ensures a filtration efficiency of over 96% with particles of 4 μm, even with high mileages.
The?top performance fuel pre-filter for MAN?applications available under the?UFI code 24.035.01 and SOFIMA S 4035 NR. The cellulose-synthetic media ensures high filtration efficiency, water separation capacity more than 98%.
The?drying filter for heavy duty breaking systems – IVECO and many other applications – UFI code 27.259.00 and SOFIMA S 7259 A, that avoids condensation of the air humidity contained in the system. The porous media has the capacity to absorb and retain the humidity of the air that passes through it, discharging the water deposit to the exterior of the braking system through a suitable air circulation. Drying filters consequently increase the reliability and the durability of the braking system.
The?oil filter for powerful 5.0 litre V8 and 3.0 litre engines for JAGUAR and LAND ROVER applications. The filter cartridge – available under the?UFI code 25.073.02 and SOFIMA S 5073 PE?– is made of synthetic fibres allowing a very high filtering efficiency of contaminant particles. To ensure a reduction in pressure drops and high ageing resistance, the synthetic fibres feature a high permeation rate and thermal-chemical compatibility.
The UFI and SOFIMA booth is designed to perfectly reflect our new corporate image with a?special “amusement area” dedicated to the F1 driving simulator. UFI Filters is acknowledged as a preferred supplier for many F1 teams, 8 out of 10 were equipped with UFI prducts during the 2017 season. The visitors will have the possibility of experiencing the real driving of a Formula 1 racing car.
Luca Betti, Director of the UFI Group Aftermarket Business Unit, says: “Our presence at Automechanika Dubai serves to further emphasize the status of UFI Filters as global leader in filtration technology solutions for Africa and Middle East Aftermarket. Reference point for the Customers in the Region will be our team in Dubai, recently reinforced to strengthen service support as business ramps up in this strategic area”.
