The Installation

A customer's YANMAR 6N80L-ZN engine underwent an upgrade, installing an IOW MP200 Centrifugal Filter which replaced an outdated FM200 centrifuge previously used. 


The transition to the next-generation technology is remarkably straightforward with our bolt-off, bolt-on design and coupled with our CentriClean SCU0002 remote monitor, delivers advanced efficiency in removing harmful particulates from the engine. 


The Results

Following 130 hours of operation, the previous-generation FM200 centrifuge eliminated 1.3kg of sludge. In stark contrast, within an equivalent runtime, the IOW Group MP200 showcased its prowess by removing 1.6kg of sludge - a 25% increase in efficiency within the same time frame.


This means improved engine cleanliness, enhanced performance and prolonged maintenance intervals, ultimately leading to reduced downtime and lower operational costs!
