EP NTZ Introduces TransProtector Magnetic Micro Filter

Easy-to-Install Filter Offers Better Performance, Longer Wear

INKSTER, Mich., April 11 -- A new level of protection against contamination of transmission and power steering fluid -- already proven in OEM applications in the U.S. and Europe -- is now available to the aftermarket. The TransProtector(R) magnetic micro filter, introduced by EP NTZ Micro Filtration, removes a high percentage of the particles of 15 micron and larger at a clean up speed that is the most effective and fastest on the market.

"Fluid cleanliness is one of the most important contributors to the efficient operation of transmission systems," explained Kirk Ciak, EP NTZ vice president of engineering. "The TransProtector's unique radially wound depth- type filter element is the best in not only cleaning the fluid, but also in holding the particles it has captured. This ensures that the smallest particles are not released back into the system to cause damage."

Fluid cleanliness has many benefits: it decreases component wear, improves performance, preserves the condition of the fluid for a longer time, and extends the lifetime of components.

"While the TransProtector can be effective in any transmission or power steering system, this kind of long-term protection is especially beneficial for vehicles to reduce preventive maintenance costs and vehicle failures. Fleet vehicle managers can see significant cumulative savings by using the TransProtector," said Ciak.

Transmission rebuilders are installing the TransProtector on systems as additional protection for their customers to extend warranties and reduce comebacks.

The TransProtector is packaged in a kit that includes all the materials for initial or regular service installation:

   - TransProtector filter
   - Detailed instructions
   - Installation hardware (for rubber or steel line installation)
   - Pan sticker for service and maintenance reminders
   - Packaged in a convenient flow test container, an effective
     contamination-free measuring device that is critical to preventing
     catastrophic system failure from contaminated fluid.
