About Yamashin Filter

Yamashin Filter is one of the world's leading manufacturers of filtration products for construction machinery, with a corporate history spanning more than 60 years. Founded in 1956, Yamashin has developed, manufactured, and sold unique filter products primarily for use in construction machinery, and has built up proprietary technologies in the filtration field for nearly seven decades .

The company's origins trace back to a canvas products tailor, before evolving through technological innovation to develop new filter media from paper, glass fibre, and ultimately nanofibers for construction machinery filters . Today, Yamashin claims an overwhelming majority of the global market for construction machinery hydraulic filters .

Hydraulic filters are the key to extending the service life of construction machinery, with breakdowns often attributed to poor oil quality due to contaminants such as abrasive metal powders . Yamashin's hydraulic filters for construction machinery filter the hydraulic oil in hydraulic systems, diesel fuel, and the lubricants needed to keep engines running, with strong performance under high temperature and pressure .

In Australia, Yamashin filters are widely used across the mining, civil construction, and earthmoving sectors. The Yamashin product range — known for exceptional filtration performance, durability under extreme conditions, and innovative filter media technology — has built a loyal following among Australian contractors, mining operators, and earthmoving businesses who value the brand's commitment to quality and reliability. With a growing installed base of excavators across the country that rely on Yamashin filtration, access to quality Yamashin excavator parts through a reliable local supplier like Lucas Parts is essential for keeping Australian operations running productively.

Genuine vs Aftermarket Yamashin Excavator Parts — Which Should You Choose?

Genuine Yamashin OEM parts are manufactured to the exact engineering specifications of your machine and are the recommended choice for critical components such as hydraulic filters, hydraulic pumps, swing bearings, engine components, and electronic control units. For excavators still under warranty or operating in high-productivity roles where reliability is paramount, genuine OEM parts provide the assurance of correct fit and guaranteed performance that protects your investment.

For high-frequency consumable items such as rubber tracks, bucket teeth, cutting edges, and hydraulic seal kits, quality aftermarket Yamashin-compatible parts offer a cost-effective alternative that delivers equivalent performance at a lower price point. This is particularly relevant for owner-operators and construction and mining businesses running machines where wear part and service part consumption is ongoing and keeping maintenance costs under control is important to maintaining healthy margins on competitive project pricing.

At Lucas Parts, we supply both genuine and premium aftermarket Yamashin excavator parts, giving you the flexibility to make the right choice for each component based on criticality, budget, and your machine's operating conditions. Our team is happy to advise you on the best option for your specific model and application.

Yamashin Filter Technology — Why Yamashin Filters Are the Industry Standard

One of the most significant advantages of specifying Yamashin filtration products for your excavator is the company's commitment to in-house development of filter media — the core component that determines filtration performance. Yamashin is the only filter manufacturer that thoroughly develops filter materials in-house, giving it an unassailable competitive advantage in the construction machinery filter market .

Yamashin filters using filter media made of glass fibre developed by the company have become a standard in the entire construction machinery industry . In 2017, the company completed development of a new nanofilter material, the "YAMASHIN Nano Filter™", which represents a potential next-generation core component to replace glass fibre . This groundbreaking product not only enhances the competitiveness of the company's construction machinery filters, but due to the characteristics of its materials, can be used in a wide range of fields .

The Yamashin filter product range serves three key markets: construction machinery filters, air filters and air filter media, and healthcare products . For the construction machinery sector, Yamashin filters are installed on all types of construction equipment, filtering hydraulic oil in hydraulic circuits, diesel fuel, and lubricating oil required to drive the engine .

Because Yamashin filters are manufactured to the highest global engineering standards, excavator owners who specify Yamashin filtration products benefit from access to a broad and competitive parts supply network for both machine-specific components and service parts. Lucas Parts stocks a comprehensive range of Yamashin filter service and repair parts — giving excavator owners a single reliable local source for high-quality filtration products.

Yamashin Filter Applications in Excavators

Yamashin filters are used across a wide range of excavator models and brands operating in Australia. The company's construction machinery filters are fitted to excavators from leading manufacturers including:

• Yanmar excavators — Yamashin filters are used in Yanmar mini excavators and compact excavators, including the popular ViO series models
• SANY excavators — Yamashin filters are fitted to SANY mini excavator models including the SY16C, SY18C, and SY18U models powered by Yanmar engines
• LiuGong excavators — Yamashin filters are used in LiuGong excavator models including the 9035E
• Caterpillar excavators — Yamashin filters are fitted to Cat mini excavator models including the 300.9D

This cross-application use of Yamashin filters across multiple excavator brands means that filter service parts for excavators are available through a broader supply network than OEM-specific channels alone — including Lucas Parts — at competitive pricing.

Yamashin Hydraulic Filters — Selection and Maintenance

Hydraulic filters are one of the most frequently replaced service items on excavators — and selecting the correct replacement filter specification is critical to hydraulic system performance and longevity. Hydraulic filters are the key to extending the service life of construction machinery, with breakdowns often attributed to poor oil quality due to contaminants such as abrasive metal powders .

Yamashin hydraulic filters are designed to perform under high temperature and pressure, filtering hydraulic oil in hydraulic circuits . The company's strong performance under demanding conditions has helped cultivate a loyal and engaged customer base .

Key hydraulic filter maintenance practices for excavator owners include regular filter inspection and replacement at the manufacturer's recommended intervals — typically every 500 operating hours for hydraulic filters — and monitoring hydraulic oil quality for signs of contamination. In the harsh Australian operating environment — with extreme temperatures and dusty conditions common across many mining and construction sites — regular filter replacement is essential to protect hydraulic system components from premature wear.

Yamashin Nano Filter™ Technology

The Yamashin Nano Filter™ represents the company's latest innovation in filtration technology. Developed in 2017, this groundbreaking product uses nanofiber filter media that offers enhanced filtration performance compared to traditional glass fibre media .

The Yamashin Nano Filter™ not only enhances the competitiveness of the company's construction machinery filters, but due to the characteristics of its materials, it is a product that can be used in a wide range of fields . The company acquired AQC in 2019, a company that handles air filters, to secure the production technology and production capacity for nano filters in order to achieve its goal of becoming a comprehensive filter manufacturer .

For excavator owners operating in demanding Australian conditions, Yamashin Nano Filter™ technology provides superior filtration performance, extended filter service life, and enhanced protection for hydraulic systems and engines.
