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.

IOW Group launch their new product, Mobi - a mobile rig equipped with their award-winning centrifugal oil filter and magnaline pump, designed to transform the way engine and oil maintenance is performed.

Bypass oil filters are fundamental for extending engine life and enhancing performance. Unlike standard full-flow filters, bypass oil filters capture the more abrasive, finer contaminants, including microscopic particles.
