Lubricant filtration involves removing contaminants such as dirt, metal particles, and other impurities from lubricating oil used in machinery and engines. This process helps maintain the oil's effectiveness, extends equipment lifespan, and ensures optimal performance. Efficient filtration reduces wear and tear, preventing costly breakdowns and maintenance.

The main types of lubricant filtration are depth filtration and surface filtration. Depth filtration captures contaminants within the filter's material, using a porous medium that traps particles as fluid passes through. Filter media can include cellulose-based, synthetic-based, and blend filters. Filtration systems address various lubricants, including engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, and others. Technologies used in these systems include centrifugal filtration, pressure filtration, and vacuum filtration. End users of these filtration systems span automotive, industrial machinery, aviation, marine, and other sectors.
