Core Functionality & Technology

High-Efficiency Centrifugal Separation

• Uses a self-cleaning disc stack bowl that generates high centrifugal forces to remove water, solids and contaminants from oil effectively, enhancing oil quality and system reliability.

• Optimized for lighter fuel oils (e.g., diesel and similar fuels) often used in marine and industrial engines, as indicated by the “91” designation.

• Pressure discharge of clean oil: Clean oil is discharged under pressure via a centripetal pump for easy reintegration into fuel or lubricant circuits.

Robust Mechanical Design

• Typically equipped with a 4 kW, 3-phase electric motor (e.g., 380/690 V, 50/60 Hz) providing reliable continuous duty performance.

• Designed with industrial-grade components including a disc-stack bowl, hinged hood, and solids collector that facilitate easy maintenance and access.

• Flange-mounted motor with vertical arrangement ensures stable and consistent drive performance.

Typical Performance

• Rated throughput: Approx. 2000 L/h (varies by oil type and setup).

• Maximum bowl speed: Up to 12,000 rpm for effective separation.

Applications

Marine Department

✔ Fuel Oil Purification: Removes water and solid impurities from marine diesel and gas oil before use in main engines and auxiliary generators, reducing injector wear and improving combustion stability.
✔ Lube Oil Conditioning: Enhances the quality of lubricating oils used in engines, compressors and turbines by removing contaminants.
✔ Engine Room Systems: Continuous duty operation supports long-term engine room reliability in commercial vessels, offshore ships, tankers, and support craft.

Industrial Sector

✔ Power Generation: Purifies diesel/gas turbine fuels and lubricants to maintain generator efficiency and reduce unscheduled downtime.
✔ Heavy Machinery Operations: Keeps hydraulic and lubricating oils free of water and particulates, extending machinery life and lowering maintenance frequency.
✔ Oil Handling & Storage: Ideal for conditioning stored fuel or lubricant before use, enhancing system performance across industrial facilities.

Benefits

🌟 Improved System Reliability: Cleaner oil reduces wear, corrosion and deposits in engines and machinery.
🌟 Lower Operating Costs: Reduced frequency of oil changes and less disposal of contaminated oil.
🌟 Continuous 24/7 Operation: Designed for long, uninterrupted service in harsh environments.
🌟 Easy Maintenance: Hinged hood and accessible components simplify servicing.
