SEV551A/4 Air Filter for Perkins 4016 Generators

Perkins 4000 series engines like 4006, 4008 and 4016 are still running in many places today.

Power range goes from around 500 kVA to 1000 kVA+, and these gensets are often used in factories, mining, and power plants. To keep them running smooth, clean intake air is a must – and that depends on the air filter. In this post we focus on two models: SE551/4 and SEV551A/4.

SE551/4 Air Filter

The SE551/4 filter is fitted on Perkins 4006-TAG (500 kW) and 4008-TAG (600 kW) engines.

  • Size: 340 × 240 × 410 mm

  • Features: compact build, reinforced mesh, efficient pleated media

  • Use case: Often used in factory backup gensets and construction sites, where dust is common but the engine must stay reliable.

SEV551A/4 Air Filter

The SEV551A/4 is a bigger element, found on Perkins 4016TAG1A, 4016TAG2A and 4016TAG engines, usually rated at 1000 kVA and above.

  • Size: 340 × 240 × 795 mm

  • Features: large airflow design, thicker filter paper, solid sealing

  • Use case: Power plants, mines, large factories and oil & gas sites – places where gensets often run 24/7 and air quality is tough.

Where These Engines Are Common

  • Even though Perkins has newer engines now, the 4000 series still has a strong presence:

    • Middle East: Saudi, UAE, Qatar – oil & gas facilities, desalination plants

    • Africa: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana – mining, backup power where the grid is unstable

    • South Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh – many factories and infrastructure projects still rely on 4016 units

    • Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand – industrial parks, data centers

    • Latin America: Brazil, Chile, Peru – remote power and heavy industry

    In these regions, many Perkins 4006, 4008 and 4016 gensets are still in service, which means ongoing demand for SE551/4 and SEV551A/4 filters.
