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.
