Centrifuge By-Pass Filter 

By C. Willis

In the world of heavy equipment, catastrophic mechanical failure can deliver the knockout punch to a company's bottom line. Big industry counts on the mechanical backbone of the business to be operational. The demands of industry place great mechanical strain on the engines that make it happen. The Spinner II was designed to provide peak performance from workhorse diesel engines that drive the industrial machinery of our nation, by removing harmful contaminants from the life blood of today's industrial equipment.

Oil is the life giving blood of a diesel engine. Oil protects precision parts from unnecessary wear and tear, by creating a buffering layer between components and coating those parts with protective additives. Oil also serves as a temperature regulation system, keeping the mechanical system operating in an optimal operating range.

Oil loses its ability to perform these critical internal functions when it becomes contaminated with soot, metal shavings and other various forms of solid matter. In a normal engine configuration, oil is passed through a barrier filtration system. A barrier filtration system uses layers of fibrous material to trap particulate matter as the oil flows through the filter. As the filter becomes clogged with particulate matter, it loses its effectiveness, eventually requiring an oil drain and filter change.

For the equipment owner this down time can be costly. Not only must the equipment owner deal with the cost of fresh oil, filters and a mechanic, but the equipment owner must also factor in the cost of lost productivity and work stoppage. When this is multiplied over a years time and over multiple pieces of equipment, the financial outflow can be substantial. Coupled with the recent high cost of fuel and mineral oil, a company could find the bottom line being stretched very thin.

The centrifuge by-pass filter protects engines by using centrifugal force to remove solid contaminants from the oil stream. Unlike a barrier filtration system that removes particles by size, a centrifugal system removes particles by weight. Any particle weighing more than the suspension fluid is flung out by the force of the centrifuge and collected within the centrifuge canister. Whereas a barrier filter can remove particulate matter down to 5 microns, a centrifuge can remove particle matter down to less than .25 microns.

With the abrasive contaminants removed from the oil stream mechanical killers such as abrasion, sludge and soot are virtually eliminated. This translates into longer intervals between oil drains, meaning less oil needed, fewer filters purchased, less labor costs, less non-productive downtime and longer engine life. By switching from mineral oil to synthetics, these intervals can be extended even further. The savings are immediately recaptured by the company's bottom line, and redirected to more critical areas of the business.

A centrifuge by-pass filter is a wise choice for any industry seeking to maximize its operating efficiency and profitability. A centrifuge by-pass filter unit can be utilized for a wide diversity of industrial applications, including but not limited to: Commercial trucking, drilling, mining and exploration, pumping stations, marine applications, power generation, railroad technology and construction equipment.

If catastrophic failure is not an option, then a centrifuge by-pass filter unit may be the right protection for your investment.
