Protecting your engine, extending oil life
Diesel engines face tough conditions - and so does their lube oil. During operation, the oil is constantly exposed to contaminants like dust, metal particles, water and chemical residues. These impurities speed up oil aging and can lead to increased wear and reduced engine performance.
Trunk piston diesel engines are especially vulnerable. Under partial load, unburned fuel and combustion residues can enter the crankcase. When these mix with water vapor, they form acidic compounds that can damage critical components such as bearings, pistons and cylinders.
The importance of effective lube oil treatment
Contaminated lube oil leads to increased wear, reduced engine efficiency and costly downtime. Regular and efficient treatment of lube oil is essential to:
- Remove solid and liquid contaminants
- Prevent corrosion and premature engine wear
- Extend the service life of both oil and engine components
- Reduce maintenance costs and environmental impact
Maximum engine protection with minimal effort
Centrifugal separation is the most effective and widely used method for lube oil treatment. In this process, a separator is installed in a bypass loop within the engine’s lube oil system. The separator efficiently removes water, sludge and particulate matter, ensuring the oil remains clean and fit for use.
For applications requiring 24-hour unattended operation, self-cleaning mineral oil centrifuges are the preferred choice. These systems automatically discharge separated contaminants, minimizing manual intervention and maximizing uptime.

A equação da água
Em toda a Europa, a seca é uma realidade recorrente – e já não se limita ao sul. Embora a água tenha cada vez mais influência na escolha do local de instalação das indústrias, seu valor é determinado pelo contexto local. Existem muitas soluções tecnológicas para a eficiência hídrica em processos industriais, mas a localização, as necessidades energéticas e outros fatores também são fundamentais.
