Description
Overview:
The AIR FILTER OUTER (P821938) for Donaldson is a cylindrical primary air intake element designed to protect diesel engines in heavy plant. Built with pleated filter media, a sturdy inner support core and moulded end caps, it captures dust and debris before they reach the engine, helping to maintain stable airflow and reduce wear. This outer element is suited to excavators and wheeled excavators commonly used in construction, civil engineering and quarry work. It is a direct replacement for OEM No. LA852 and is widely used across Hitachi EX and ZX series machines, including models such as EX200-5 and EG70R. Correct filtration supports fuel economy, power delivery and extended engine life when working in high-dust environments.
Key Features:
- Outer (primary) air filter element for high dust-loading environments
- Pleated media for large surface area and consistent airflow
- Robust construction with a rigid support core for durability in harsh sites
- Helps protect turbochargers and cylinders from abrasive particles
- Direct replacement for OEM No. LA852 and Donaldson P821938
- Compatible with a wide range of EX and ZX series excavators
- Straightforward like-for-like fit into the existing air cleaner housing
- Supports engine efficiency and reduces unplanned downtime
- Suitable for routine servicing in line with the machine's maintenance schedule
- Reliable performance for quarrying, demolition and general plant use
Typical Applications:
Used as the primary intake filter on excavators and wheeled excavators working in dust-prone conditions, including groundworks, muck shifting, site clearance, utilities, demolition and aggregates. Ideal for machines operating long hours where consistent filtration helps maintain performance and protects the engine between service intervals.
Also known as:
Outer air filter, primary air filter element, outer element, engine intake filter, primary cartridge, outer cartridge, air cleaner outer.
