Our new website is officially live, making it easier than ever to track down the exact filtration parts you need.

When we started AB Components back in 2006, we held a fraction of the stock we do now. Today, we manage over 54,000 filters on our shelves and carry more than 11,000 different filters.

Sourcing the right part for a mixed fleet or an older machine can be a massive headache, but it's as simple as ABC.

We have an extensive cross-referencing database to identify filters by application, dimensions, or part numbers. We're still the same team of filtration specialists offering the same reliable service, but our customers don't always know everything we can offer.

Head over to abcomponents.org to explore our new site.

Our Ilkeston warehouse shelves are officially heavier this week, as we've just unpacked and logged our latest delivery of brand new filter lines.

We're right in the middle of the busy summer peak, which is the worst time for your machinery to sit idle. For commercial fleet managers and agricultural operators, downtime is the enemy. You can't afford to wait weeks for a back-ordered part to arrive from overseas.

That's why we've expanded our stock depth at our Derbyshire base. We already hold over 11,000 different lines on the shelf, covering everything from air and fuel filters to hydraulic elements. These latest arrivals means we can dispatch even more orders immediately with zero supply chain lag.

These filters fit a range of applications including Volvo, Perkins, Caterpillar, Compair & Atlas Copco and we stock over 54,000 filters in total!

If you run commercial vehicles, plant, compressors or agricultural machinery, we want to make sure you get your parts without delay. We even handle the unusual stuff, including custom and obsolete filters that other distributors won't touch. Our team can cross-reference and identify what you need from a part number, dimensions, or even a physical sample.

Drop us a message on [email protected] or WhatsApp 07436 830 587 or give the Ilkeston office a call on 0115 932 3227 to get your fleet sorted.

We're heading to Newark for Vertikal Days on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th of September.

You'll find us at stands MP19 and MP20 in the Marketplace Pavilion.

If you manage a fleet of access platforms, cranes, or telehandlers, you know how quickly a failed filter can halt your operations. Sourcing the exact replacement shouldn't involve endless phone calls or guesswork.

We're on hand to help you resolve your regular sourcing challenges. Whether you're dealing with obsolete filters, mixed fleets, or parts you can only identify from a physical sample, we've got the technical expertise to find the right solution.

We hold over 11,000 different lines in stock at our warehouse, which means we can usually ship what you need for next-day UK mainland delivery.

Come and talk to us at the show about how we can support your machinery maintenance and keep your downtime to a minimum.

See you in the Marketplace Pavilion for a free cup of coffee and cake.

Fresh inventory has arrived and is ready for dispatch. We've boosted our stock with new filter additions this August.

Keeping your machinery running means having the right parts on the shelf when you need them. That's why we've expanded our range with high quality arrivals, including the MP Filtri hydraulic elements shown here.

Whether you're running agricultural machinery, commercial fleets, or plant equipment, downtime is your enemy. We already hold over 11,000 different lines in stock at our Ilkeston warehouse, and these new arrivals make our coverage even stronger.

Our team has already checked, logged, and shelved these units so they can go out on our next-day UK mainland delivery service.

You don't even need the exact part number to order. If you're unsure, just send us the dimensions, application details, or even a photo of your current filter, and we'll cross-reference it for you.

Get in touch with our sales team today to secure what you need.

Step into a time machine with me—about 30 years back—when filters were humble paper elements, doing their best in a tough job. Sure, they worked…until a splash of water turned them to pulp, and their uneven pores let trouble slip through. Fast-forward to today, and it feels like we’ve gone from village bicycles to hypercars.

Now, filters are multi-layered marvels made from slick synthetic media, glass fibre, and cutting-edge nanofibres. These champions snag microscopic soot like pros—without ever throttling airflow. Even our pre-filters and return filters have graduated to precision mesh designs, delivering rock-steady flow every time.

This tech leap is a dream for modern engines—but it’s also a double-edged sword. Gone are the days of “one-size-fits-all” spares: a single excavator might demand three bespoke media types to hum efficiently. That’s why our Ilkeston warehouse stocks over 11,000 unique filter lines—because when your critical machine stops, waiting days for parts simply isn’t an option.

Since launching ABC in 2006, we’ve watched filter technology rewrite the rulebook. Yet through every breakthrough—the nanofibres, the high-tech meshes, the eco-friendly composites—our mission remains unchanged: **keep your equipment moving**, no matter how complex tomorrow’s filters become.

We've spent nearly 20 years building our partnership with Donaldson, which is why our Ilkeston warehouse is packed with Donaldson Ultrafilter line housings and replacement elements right now. Since we started AB Components back in 2006, we've focused on physical stock, we carry over 11,000 different filters and genuine expertise.

We can cross-reference part numbers, review assemblies, check dimensions, or even work from a physical sample to make sure you get the right replacement element. Because we keep these industrial filtration parts on our own shelves, we don't make you wait for slow supply chains. We can ship them next-day to most of the UK mainland.

If you need to keep your compressed air systems at peak performance, get in touch with our team today, phone us on 0115 932 3227, email us at [email protected] or drop us a WhatsApp on 07436 830 587.

Automatic Filtration, Edge, Scrape or Blade Filters.

Most filters choke the moment you feed them thick pastes or heavy gels, but this automatic metal edge system uses a built-in scraper to keep your production line running without a single manual clean. They clog up fast, force a system shutdown, and require manual cleaning that eats into your daily production time.

The Filtration Group Industrial metal edge system solves this by using a rugged, triangular stainless steel wire element. As the thick fluid flows through, a spring-mounted scraper continuously cleans the rotating element from the outside. You can see exactly how this works in the diagram we've shared, where the scraper lifts the collected particles so they sink safely into the collector cone.

The system handles gap widths from 30 up to 2000 micrometres, so it's easily adapted to your exact process requirements. Back-flushing models like the green AF series shown in the images, which use pressure to shift even the most stubborn foreign particles. As the widely respected filtration specialists, we don't just sell standard parts, we provide the technical solutions that keep your plant running.

Get in touch with our team in Ilkeston on 0115 932 3227, email [email protected] or
contact us on WhatsApp 07436 830 587 to find the right FGI system for your line.

New alternative filter lines for Caterpillar, JCB, DAF, Hitachi, and Iseki have just landed at our Ilkeston warehouse, pushing our active stock range well past 11,000 lines.

If you run a mixed fleet of agricultural and plant machinery, you know the headache of dealing with multiple dealers just to get routine service parts. You waste hours matching part numbers, chasing different deliveries, and processing separate invoices.

We've expanded our shelves so you don't have to do that anymore. Whether you're running a JCB excavator, a DAF truck, or an Iseki compact tractor, we can now supply the exact filters you need from a single location.

Managing maintenance across different machinery brands is hard enough without the paperwork pile-up. By sourcing everything from our East Midlands warehouse, you cut down on administrative hassle and keep your machines working.

Our team can cross-reference thousands of part numbers from your vehicle details, dimensions, or even a physical sample. You get one delivery, one invoice, and less downtime.

Give our sales team a call on 0115 932 3227, WhatsApp 07436 830 587 or email [email protected] to get your fleet sorted.

We've officially partnered with Hengst Filtration GMBH to bring their full industrial and hydraulic range directly to our Ilkeston warehouse.

For anyone running heavy machinery, this is a major development because Hengst acquired Bosch Rexroth's filtration business.

That means we now hold genuine Bosch Rexroth legacy elements and Hengst's high-specification industrial filters right here in the East Midlands.

You don't have to wait weeks for overseas shipments or struggle with complicated supply chains when your machinery is sitting idle.

We've added these lines to our existing stock of over 11,000 products, meaning we can dispatch most orders immediately.

If you have a part number, a housing model, or even just a physical sample, our team can cross-reference and identify the exact filter you need.

We'll ship it on our local delivery van or send it via our next-day UK mainland parcel service.

Get in touch with our sales team on 0115 932 3227 , WhatsApp 07436 830 587 or email [email protected] to check stock or set up your order.

This single delivery van carries parts selected from over 11,000 different stock lines held right here in our Ilkeston warehouse.

When you run a fleet of tractors, commercial trucks, or plant machinery, you can't afford to wait for backorders. You need the right filter today, not a promise that it'll arrive from an overseas supplier next week.

That's why we keep our shelves packed at our main site in Ilkeston. We stock everything from heavy duty air and fuel filters to specialist AdBlue urea elements and hydraulic cartridges. If you've got an unusual machine or a mixed fleet, we can even cross reference the parts from your application details or a physical sample.

Our delivery van doesn't just transport boxes, it delivers immediate solutions that keep your business moving. We run regular local deliveries across the East Midlands, plus next day shipping for the rest of the UK mainland. Next time you see our van on the road, you'll know it's loaded with genuine, on the shelf stock.

Give our team in Ilkeston a call on 0115 932 3227 to get your parts sorted today.
