BETTER THAN OEM FILTERS
OEM paper filters present an elevated resistance to the passage of air and
consequently a reduction in engine performance.
Compared to a paper filter the BMC air filter permits a notably higher air flow
passage, producing less than half the Pressure Drop
(difference between the air pressure before and after the filter element) over
the paper filters.
This doesn't compromise the filter's engine protection efficiency: thanks to the
combination of the different oiled layers,
containment of all impurities is guaranteed as far as 7 microns, while paper
filters generally require total filtration of particles
as small as 10 microns. So BMC air filters let more air into the engine while
still protecting it better than paper ones.
In addition, a traditional paper filter must be replaced regularly during
routine maintenance whilst the BMC air filter is reusable
and has a general life-span equal to that of the vehicle.
BETTER THAN SYNTHETIC FILTERS
The principal difference between BMC oiled cotton filters and synthetic material
filters (for example, plastic material cloth)
is seen in the ability to retain air impurities. Synthetic filters allow the
passage to particles smaller than the size
of the tiny holes in the filtration material- this means that a filter with 80
micron holes allows the passage of all elements
of a size smaller than the hole, only guaranteeing containment of particles
larger than the dimension of the hole
(for example - sand has a dimension of around 50 microns). The cotton has a
wider texture which favours a greater air-flow passage
and through the combination of the different oiled layers, guarantees
containment of all impurities from as small as 7 microns.
BETTER THAN OTHER COTTON FILTERS
BMC's support frame structures are manufactured using a unique procedure called
“Full Moulding”
which enables the production of the characteristic red filter from a single
mould without the need for gluing at the corners,
often the cause of easy breakage.
BMC air filters have the smallest rubber infringement in the market (less than
6mm), thus allowing the maximum filtering surface.
HIGHEST QUALITY
The BMC air filter is composed of a metallic mesh covered by an oiled multilayer
cotton filtration material.
This guarantees a high level of filtering efficiency and a limited loss of air
pressure.
The oil used gives the material its “sticky” adhesive characteristic which aids
in the retention of air impurities,
without compromising or blocking air flow penetration. This also creates a
continuous filtering process.
The cotton filtrating element is contained within an external support frame
which interfaces with the air box
and allows it to be securely installed in the air-box. Every stage of the
production process
(from design to manufaturing) is carried out in Italy by italian engineers using
the finest materials.
SEVERE TESTING
BMC operates in a number of areas: automotive, racing, aerospace, nautical and
industrial, according to the specific regulations
and requirements of each and every one of this sectors. Consequently, BMC tests
are severe and thorough,
thus ensuring the highest quality in respect to paper, foam and plastic
materials.
The technical solutions used by BMC are derived from the results of a continuous
and intense programme of laboratory tests.
BMC carries out filtration tests in reference to the international standards for
filtering (ISO 5011).
BMC Air Filters have a 98.5% filtering efficiency in respect to this standard.
ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL
BMC air filters are made of cotton, a natural material which can be reused
several times after been washed with a special detergent
and re-soaked in oil, thus saving the cost of changing it every time the vehicle
is serviced and reducing wastes for the environment.
WINNER IN ALL CATEGORIES
BMC Air Filters are by far the most successful filters in every sports category,
since they equipped the champions of :
- Formula 1 (9 titles)
- American Le Mans (10 titles)
- Le Mans 24Hours (11 titles)
- DTM (9 titles), Superbike (2 titles)
- AMA Superbike (1 Title)
- Suzuka 8Hours (1 title)
