Oil Cleaning Centrifuge

What is Spin-Clean?

A true centrifuge that, when sized properly, will remove the dense wear abrasives from oil down to below 1 micron

Will not use more than 10% of engine oil pump output at any given time

The centrifuge removes the solids from the engine oil using centrifugal force – 1000 G’s

Significantly reduces engine wear, sludge build-up, & acid formation

How it worksPressurized oil enters Spin-Clean on bottom right. (Inlet)

Oil enters into turbine, begins to fill, and pressurizes.

Oil exits out of the two nozzles at the bottom of the turbine at a very high velocity, thus causing the turbine to spin.

As the oil exits the shaft in the turbine bowl the solid particles are whipped against the inner wall of the bowl at a high rate of speed.

Solid particles down to below 1 micron are captured on the inside wall of the turbine bowl creating a dense cake-like solid.

Clean oil exits the centrifuge into the engine sump.

Why Spin-Clean?

Engine manufactures install full-flow filters that only remove particles from the oil down to 20-25 micron

Increase the interval between oil/filter changes

Significantly increase engine lifeGo Green – better for the environmentServes as a diagnostic tool

How to Size a Centrifuge -Sizing Chart

Sizing NotesSpin-Clean uses 10% of the oil sump capacity at

any given time.The volume of oil in the system may be used to

determine the type and number of centrifuges to be fitted.

A centrifuge should be specified to ensure that the total crankcase oil capacity passes through the centrifuge(s), no less than four times in an hour.

The optimum oil inlet pressure for a centrifuge ranges from 60 to 80 psi, but units can be operated at a maximum of 100 psi or a minimum of 30 psi.

InstallationDue to different field applications, different

engine sizes, and other unforeseen circumstances we offer several installation options. All originate from these two methods.

-Gravity drain Spin-Clean is mounted higher than the crankcase –

Gravity forces oil to drain from Spin-Clean down to engine crankcase.

-Oil Control Base (OCB) This option is used if the Spin-Clean is mounted below

the engine crankcase. Compressed air (.02 SCFM) is used to pressurize the Spin-Clean unit sending oil back up to the crankcase.
