Oilmax produces centrifugal oil cleaners for marine applications to remove fine particles from engine oil. Their oil cleaners can remove particles down to 1 micron in size, improving engine performance and life by reducing wear. They operate by spinning oil at high speeds to separate dirt via centrifugal force. Oilmax models are available for engine mounting or standalone use and can save customers money through extended oil change intervals and reduced maintenance costs compared to traditional oil filters.

2. Why Centrifugal Oil Cleaner?
Centrifugal Oil Cleaner
removes very fine dirt from
lube oil below 1µ . Present
engine filtration system can
not remove such fine
particles. With clean lube oil,
Engine wear & tear is
Substantially reduced,
particularly of the tight
clearance components like
Piston Rings and Liners,
Camshafts & Bearings, Turbo
Charger, Gear Train etc.
Effective removal of Carbon
soot prevents Ring sticking
and Clogging of oil passages,
improving engine
performance.
Fine particles in the range of 1-5 µ get trapped into the
dynamic clearance causing the maximum wear & tear.
Centrifugal oil cleaner removes these fine particles
enabling extension of component life

4. Working Principle
Centrifugal oil cleaner operates on reaction turbine
principle. Oil enters the centrifuge under pressure and
flows into rotor thru hollow rotor shaft. The oil
pressure and flow is converted in rotational energy as
oil escapes through Rotor jets, producing speed upto
8000 rpm. The resultant centrifugal force removes dirt
from engine oil , depositing it on the inner wall of
rotor in a dense cake form. Clean oil drains back to
the engine oil by gravity.
