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A customer's YANMAR 6N80L-ZN engine underwent an upgrade, installing an IOW MP200 Centrifugal Filter which replaced an outdated FM200 centrifuge previously used.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

CAT Engine
November 22, 2024
Caterpillar (CAT) engines are known for their power, durability, and reliability. They are essential for heavy-duty equipment in multiple industries, such as maritime, construction, mining, trucking, and agriculture. For optimal engine performance, sufficient oil filtration is essential. The most efficient oil filtration for CAT engines is centrifugal oil filters. In this blog, we will delve into the crucial importance of these filters in maintaining the smooth operation of Caterpillar equipment.

Overview: MAN B&W 6L28/32HP on a RORO Vehicle Carrier A client undertook a trial period with our IOW MP400 Centrifuge , which was installed as a retrofit on a MAN B&W 6L28/32HP engine. The objective was to assess the performance differences and determine whether IOW Group's separation capabilities could enhance engine reliability and performance. Prior to the installation of IOW Group's MP400 , the engine had been in operation for over 67,000 hours, rendering it highly susceptible to wear and degradation. Consequently, it becomes imperative to remove as much harmful particulates as possible to prolong engine life, as well as extend primary filter life to minimize maintenance requirements.
