IOW Group

IOW Group has designed, patented, and manufactured the highest-performing and only self-monitoring bypass, oil filtration, spinner-type separator in the world. IOW Group has spent over 5 years redesigning the traditional centrifuge to create a new range of centrifugal oil separators. So, what makes IOW Group’s MP centrifugal oil filters so different and better?

• Bowl Disc Technology – Increasing efficiency by removing even more contaminants.
• Remote Monitoring – Provides operators and systems with valuable insight into their speed, cleaning, and service requirements.
• Fully Sealed Unit – Reducing the risk of cross-contamination between cleaned and dirty oil.
• Distributor Impeller – Eliminates backpressure by drawing in contaminated oil.

Better Technology = Better Results

The combination of protection, performance, remote monitoring, and the ability to extend oil drain intervals has many turning to IOW Group as their filtration solution.

Better Technology:
– Bowl Disc Technology
– Modbus Remote Monitoring or Bluetooth Remote Monitoring
– Fully Sealed Centrifuge Bowl
– Eliminating Back Pressure

Better Results:
– 150% more efficient
– Reduce Engine Wear
– Reduce Maintenance
– Reduce Costs

Proven Reliability! Proven Impact. Proven Uptime. Proven Savings.

Next generation in centrifugal oil separators! IOW Group separators remove contaminants that cause damage to engines, and they also greatly extend the life of lubricating oil in both engines and gearboxes. They are the highest-performing and the only self-monitoring bypass oil filtration spinners in the world.

When replacing an old Glacier, Mann Hummel, or Spinner II oil cleaning centrifuge, choose the best centrifugal oil filter on the market — the IOW Group centrifugal oil filter.

Oil is introduced into the separator bowl at engine oil pressure through holes drilled in the vertical spindle and via the accelerator channels in the bearing distributor.

The bowl then fills up, and oil overflows into the top turbine, where it exits the bowl via the four speed turbine channels and then out via the nozzles. This, in turn, rotates the bowl, generating the centrifugal force required to remove the contaminants from the oil.

The contaminants migrate towards the outside of the bowl, where they are deposited on a removable oil-resistant insert. The cleaned oil migrates towards the center of the bowl, where it is expelled by the nozzles in the top turbine, thus perpetuating the cycle.

Increased Efficiency

Unlike conventional centrifugal oil spinners/separators, IOW Group centrifugal oil filters use bowl discs to increase the efficiency of separation, dramatically reducing the time that contaminants can stay in the oil.

IOW Group has improved the sealing between the dirty oil inlet and the cleaned oil outlet. This ensures that there is minimal cross-contamination between the two.

Save Valuable Man-hours

IOW Group centrifugal oil filters also have dirt/sludge monitoring technology, which informs the operator when the separator needs cleaning, saving valuable personnel time on otherwise unnecessary cleaning. The systems are Modbus or Bluetooth compatible and can be easily connected to your existing alarm systems.

The centrifuge removes the fine particles.  By removing the very fine particles from the lube oil, you are increasing protection. Fine particles act as abrasives to the engine’s moving parts (camshaft lobe, piston rings, etc).  Removing particles 35 μ or less will help lengthen the lifecycle and reduce the overall wear rate.

The backflushing flow is directed into the centrifuge. The bowl then fills up, and oil overflows into the top turbine, where it exits via the four-speed turbine channels and then out through the nozzles. This, in turn, rotates the bowl, generating the centrifugal force required to remove the contaminants from the oil.

The gravitational force of the rotating disc stack causes the heavy particles to migrate to the wall of the centrifuge bowl. The lighter oil is directed through the outlet ports and drains back into the engine sump.

The combined use of an automatic filter and a centrifuge for lubrication oil filtration is easy to retrofit into existing engines.  The overall goal of adding an IOW centrifuge to an automatic filtration system is to prevent soot and solid particles of all sizes from reaching the engine.

Upgrade to the IOW Group bypass centrifuge filter. It has superior oil filtration and separation efficiency, making it the best replacement for Spinner II Oil Cleaning Centrifuges, Glacier Centrifuge, and Mann Hummel Centrifugal Oil Cleaners.

IOW Group centrifuges deliver reliable oil protection across a wide range of engines. From Caterpillar and Perkins to MAN and Waukesha, leading reliability engineers trust the IOW Group engine oil centrifuges to extend engine life and maximize performance. The IOW Group centrifuges provide superior wear reduction and are the leader in bypass oil filtration.
