PERFORMANCE BMC air filters are designed and
produced to ensure a higher air flow than original paper
filters. In F1, for example, BMC cotton filters minimize
the loss of air flow pressure passing through the air
filter; this way ensures the best conditions for full
exploitation of maximum power. Therefore the benefits
of replacing the original paper filter with BMC cotton
air filter, produced using the same technology and materials
as the F1 air filters, are evident.
DESIGN AND MATERIALS Qualified engineers using advanced
software and expert technicians using the latest technologies
produce BMC air filters. An F1 filter must be very
light, must be made of the best raw materials and
must improve performance. For this reason we use only
alloy mesh with epoxy coating to ensure protection
from petrol fumes and from oxidization due to the
humidity of the air. The filtering material is composed
of a special cotton gauze soaked with low-viscosity
oil to give you the best air permeability.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
BMC technical staff has developed a particular production
system based on soft rubber moulding which produces
the familiar BMC red filters. They are made in one
single piece with no welded joints in the corners,
thus avoiding breaking risks. This system, called
"Full Moulding" comes from R&D in F1
and it is significant of BMC air filters' technical
and quality specifics.
