Diesel fuel filter UFI Filters for Hyundai and Kia
The Italian company UFI Filters, specialized in fluid filtration technology, designed an important aftermarket replacement part, the diesel fuel filter cartridge for a wide range of Hyundai and Kia cars, both part of the Hyundai Motor Group. The filter (code UFI 24.123.00, SOFIMA code S 4123 NR) covers a host of important applications, from the Hyundai i20 and Tucson to the Kia Venga and Sportage. The aftermarket range of the filter is the result of the close partnership that UFI Group has developed over recent years with Hyundai Motor Group. Establishing a strong presence in the aftermarket sector is the logical next step for the Italian group, which is already involved in six different OE diesel filtration projects covering the entire Hyundai and Kia ranges.
The Nogarole Rocca-based company has succeeded in winning business from the leading Korean Group thanks to an innovative filtration media that provides superb filtration and water separation performance. The entire range of filters destined for the European market is produced in the modern UFI facility in Ostrava (Czech Republic). The plant is highly automated, using the latest-generation machinery, and is located near the Hyundai Motor Group plant. The filtration media used in aftermarket applications is distinguished by its highly effective dual-stage filtration system: a first barrier is made from a cellulose-based material, with a second made from hydrophobic mesh to remove any residual water particles. The guaranteed filter efficiency is 99.6% @ 4 μm and the water separation exceeds 90%.
