Smarter Filtration for Modern Demands

Traditional oil filters clog quickly, drive up disposal costs, and fail to capture the finest contaminants that cause wear and breakdowns. IOW Group’s centrifugal oil filtration systems take a smarter approach, using high centrifugal force for separation to remove microscopic particles without relying on disposable elements.

The result is consistently cleaner oil, longer equipment life, and fewer maintenance interventions. It’s a low-maintenance, high-efficiency system that cuts both downtime and running costs across demanding operations.

Engineered for Performance

Each IOW centrifuge is built around precision-engineered bowl-disc technology, ensuring maximum separation efficiency and reliability. The sealed bowl design prevents cross-contamination, while Separator Control Units (SCUs) provide real-time data and remote monitoring - giving engineers total visibility over performance and maintenance schedules.

Whether fitted on marine engines, generators, or industrial plant equipment, IOW Group’s systems integrate seamlessly and deliver measurable improvements from day one.

Proven Results Across Industries

Operators using IOW centrifuges typically see:

  • Up to 50% reduction in oil change frequency
  • Extended oil and component life
  • Reduced unplanned maintenance and repair costs
  • Lower consumable waste and environmental impact
  • Faster return on investment - often within months

These tangible results are why more Chief Engineers are making the switch from old centrifugal technology, benefiting from guaranteed cost savings and improved operational reliability.

Keeping engines running efficiently takes more than regular oil changes and the occasional filter swap. The real cost of engine maintenance often hides in plain sight. Small particles build up, oil quality declines, and engine components begin to wear faster than they should. It all leads to more downtime, higher costs, and avoidable repairs. Centrifugal oil separators offer a smarter and proven alternative. These simple, robust devices clean your oil more effectively and help your engine run better for longer. No fuss, no gimmicks, just quality engineering that saves time and money.
