Q: What are the Key Features of the BC110?

• ‌Efficient filtration of small particles‌: High-speed rotation creates centrifugal force. The rotor spins up to 5500 revolutions per minute. It effectively separates tiny metal debris, mechanical impurities, and oxides. These particles measure less than 10 microns in diameter. Traditional paper filters struggle to capture such small contaminants. This method significantly enhances filtration accuracy.

• ‌Long term use and economy‌: The rotor design allows reuse. Unlike paper filters, it avoids frequent replacement. Regularly disassemble the rotor and clean impurities on its inner wall. This action restores its function. Long-term use cuts maintenance costs substantially.

• ‌Structure and maintenance characteristics‌: The structure is complex, with a large size and weight. Installation and maintenance demand technical expertise. However, performance remains stable. Its lifespan matches that of an engine. This makes it ideal for heavy-duty engines, construction machinery, or commercial vehicles. These applications require high lubrication system cleanliness.

• ‌Working mode‌: It operates as a split flow filter. Only a portion of the oil pump supply (5%-10%) is used. It works alongside a full flow filter. Together, they form a "coarse filter + fine filter" combination. This setup achieves efficient and long-lasting filtration effects.

Q: What is a Centrifugal Lube Filter?

Centrifugal lubricating oil filter is a filtering device that uses the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to separate impurities, moisture, and solid particles in lubricating oil. It achieves liquid-solid or liquid-liquid separation through density differences, without the need for traditional filters or filter cloth, and belongs to a media free filtration method.

Working principle

1. High speed rotation: Lubricating oil is pumped into the drum (or rotor) inside the filter.
2. Centrifugal separation: The drum rotates at high speed under the drive of a motor (for example, some models can reach a speed of 5500 revolutions per minute), generating a strong centrifugal force field.
3. Impurity sedimentation: Due to the different densities of oil, water, and impurities, they obtain different sedimentation velocities in the centrifugal force field. Impurities and moisture with higher density are thrown towards the inner wall of the drum, while relatively clean lubricating oil is located in the central area of the drum.
4. Separation and discharge: Clean lubricating oil flows out from the outlet at the center of the drum and returns to the lubrication system; The impurities deposited on the inner wall of the drum need to be regularly shut down and cleaned.

Main features and advantages

Efficient filtration: It can effectively remove fine impurities at the micrometer level (such as ≤ 1 µ m), and even filter out particles below 10 micrometers that are difficult to capture with paper filters, significantly improving the cleanliness of oil products.
• No consumables: The core component is the drum, which does not require the replacement of consumables such as filter paper and cloth, and has a low long-term usage cost.
• Easy maintenance: The structure is relatively simple, and the main maintenance work is to regularly open the rotor and remove the accumulated oil residue on the inner wall.
• Widely applicable: Suitable for the purification treatment of various lubricants, heavy diesel, edible oils (such as rapeseed oil, peanut oil), and engine oil.

Main application areas

• In the industrial field, it is widely used in lubricating oil systems for power plants (processing turbine oil), ships, and large mechanical equipment. It can be bypassed and connected to the main oil tank to achieve online purification.
• In the automotive field, as a centrifugal oil filter, it is used in the lubrication system of engines such as trucks and construction machinery to extend the oil change cycle and protect the engine.

Q: Are Pure Mack (OEM) filters better than aftermarket?

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Mack filters: typically specified or directly supplied by truck manufacturers (such as MACK trucks), designed to perfectly match the engine, ensuring optimal filtration efficiency, airflow, and service life. Its quality standards are strictly controlled by the original factory.

Aftermarket filters: These products are designed with reference to the original factory specifications, but their performance and lifespan depend on the manufacturer's materials (such as filter paper quality), process, and quality control level. High quality brand aftermarket products can achieve or approach original factory performance, but inferior products may lead to insufficient filtration efficiency, affecting engine life.

In summary, the original filter quality of MACK trucks is higher than that of aftermarket filters from third-party brands. Original factory filters usually have guarantees in terms of matching and quality control, while aftermarket products offer more price and brand choices, with varying performance advantages and disadvantages, which need to be judged based on specific product quality certifications and user evaluations.
