RAILROAD FILTER INFORMATION
Filtration Systems' patented "Swirl Flow1"" technology is a breakthrough in depth filter design, providing exceptionally long life, high efficiency, and low restriction to flow.
Our high-flow railroad lube filters have been used for years in demanding conditions, often over mountainous terrain. They consistently last a minimum of 3 months, and often 1/2 year, between filter change-outs.
We have manufactured hundreds of thousands of railroad lube elements, protecting locomotive engines worldwide, with the best value in the industry

     
     

Different end-configurations assure direct interchangeability with EMD, G.E., Alco and Bombardier locomotives.

High-strength spiral lockseamed center tube prevents collapse. Easily removed and recycled. Made in-house for cost control.
 
Our patented "Swirl Flow"" media, the secret to long service life. Only available from Filtration Systems, an exceptional value!
 
Outer perforated wrap for flow diffusion. The filter has no side seams or end caps.
 
Cotton s fine fibre diameter and oliophyllic properties make it an ideal medium for hydrocarbon filtration. We use only natural cotton fibres (not textile waste) in our products.

Wood absorbs water and acids (extending lube oil drain intervals) and improves the filter's flow characteristics. Our wood is grown and processed here in Wisconsin, for good cost control.  

SWIRL FLOW
With a patented "Swirl Flow" depth elements are a dramatic break-through in filter technology.  By alternating layers of low and high density media, and balancing the ratio of circumferential to radial flow, the media layers progressively load with dirt, like peeling an onion.  This results in an incredibly long life filter, designed for reliability and performance at a low cost.
