Reduce Oil Waste - Bypass Filtration System
How Does It Work?
The Filtakleen filter is installed in the circuit after the pump. It is connected into the system by hoses and mounted remotely at a convenient location.
The filter works by taking a percentage of the oil and slowly percolating it through a dense filter medium.
The flow rate of 4-6l/min will not affect system performance as it is taking only a percentage (typically 10-12%) of the total flow. This low flow rate means that filtration to a much finer tolerance than that achieved from in-line filters is possible.
Maintenance
Changing the element is a quick and easy job. Incorporating a ball valve into the inlet side of the circuit means the filter can be isolated. The retaining bolt is unscrewed, the lid taken off, the old filter removed and replaced with the new one… A simple, no-mess job that takes only a couple of minutes.
Recommended filter change frequency is every 500 hours or quarterly, whichever comes first. For filters installed on a system with used oil, initial changes should be more frequent.

Demulsifies - Eliminates water 100% to stop acidity
Removing all water content reduces the acid formation in the oil. This takes away the workload of the alkaline additives, and extends the life of the TBN, and the working life of the oil. It also reduces the workload of the main filter, extending its life.
The engine will run with cleaner oil, which means a cleaner engine, less component wear and reduced emissions.
Wear is significantly reduced and you can routinely expect to more than double the historical or expected life of the engine.
Clean oil circulating in an engine 100% of the time does not have to be routinely changed. The only time an oil change will be necessary is when the oil becomes contaminated with excessive fuel water or coolant.
Eliminates Ultrafine Debris - 1 Micron
Once installed, Filtakleen’s filtering efficiency removes all damaging wear particles normally missed by the main filter. This removal of ultra fine debris at the source immediately reduces the risk of malfunctioning control valves, as well as dramatically reducing erosion of the hoses and seals caused by these fine particles.
In addition, Filtakleen removes the risk of silting of the suction filters which can cause pump damage through cavitations. Standard machine filters offer filtration of particles between 10 –25 microns while much of today’s machinery works with tolerances of as fine as 4—5 microns. Therefore, removal of particles of this size is critical to system performance.
The unique design of the Filtakleen filter means that removal of particles down to 1 micron is achieved. Additives are not removed as these are sub-micron size. By using Filtakleen, you are creating major long term benefits in both component life and circuit operation
