Original MANN-FILTER Hydraulic filter WH 980/3 – For industry, agricultural and construction machinery

Original MANN‑FILTER Hydraulic Filter WH 980/3

The MANN‑FILTER WH 980/3 is a premium hydraulic filter engineered for the most demanding industrial, agricultural and construction machinery. Designed to deliver exceptional protection against contaminants while maintaining optimal fluid flow, this filter ensures reliable operation of hydraulic systems in harsh environments.

Key Design Features

• High‑Performance Filter Media: Utilises a multi‑layer filtration system that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, safeguarding pumps, valves and actuators from wear.
• Robust Construction: Made with corrosion‑resistant stainless steel housing and a durable polypropylene filter element, the WH 980/3 withstands high pressure (up to 200 bar) and temperature extremes (–40 °C to +120 °C).
• Easy Installation: Screw‑on design (1 ⅜″ × 12 UNF) allows quick replacement without special tools, reducing downtime.
• Extended Service Life: Engineered for a service interval of up to 10,000 hours in typical field conditions, providing long‑term cost efficiency.

Applications and Compatibility

The WH 980/3 is specifically tailored for hydraulic systems found in:

• Industrial Machinery: CNC machines, presses, conveyors, and material handling equipment.
• Agricultural Implements: Tractors, harvesters, sprayers, and irrigation pumps.
• Construction Vehicles: Excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, wheel loaders, and compactors.

It is fully compatible with a wide range of manufacturers, including Volvo, John Deere, Case IH, Deutz‑Fahr, New Holland, Fiat, Iveco, Steyr, and many others. The filter’s universal fitment makes it an ideal choice for fleet operators seeking standardisation across diverse equipment.

Technical Specifications

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced System Longevity: By trapping fine particles, the filter prevents premature wear of critical components such as pumps and valves.
• Improved Efficiency: Maintains optimal fluid viscosity and pressure, ensuring smooth operation and reduced energy consumption.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Longer service intervals mean fewer replacements and lower labor hours.
• Reliability in Extreme Conditions: The robust construction guarantees consistent performance even under high temperature or corrosive environments.

Installation Guide

1. Turn off the hydraulic system and relieve pressure.
2. Unscrew the existing filter using a wrench that matches the 1 ⅜″ thread size.
3. Clean the mounting surface to remove debris.
4. Screw in the new WH 980/3 filter, tightening until snug but not over‑torqued.
5. Re‑pressurise the system and check for leaks.

Quality Assurance

The WH 980/3 is manufactured under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards. Each filter undergoes rigorous pressure testing, particle retention verification, and visual inspection before leaving the factory. This commitment to excellence guarantees that every unit performs reliably in demanding operational settings.
