Protects oil life and wildlife
The Eliminator Filter™, another clean technology from Alfa Laval, is an optimal lube oil treatment solution that increases production efficiency. It’s a full flow, automatic cleaning backflush filter combined with a high-efficiency centrifuge.
Features and benefits
The Eliminator Filter was developed with engine manufacturers and end users in mind and delivers substantial and proven benefits.
-
Eliminates costly cartridge filters and related disposal costs
-
Reduces the risk of oil spillage
-
Increases engine availability
-
Better engine protection prolongs the life of the engine
-
Reduces operational downtime and extends service intervals
-
Eliminates the risk of contaminants entering the lube oil system
The Eliminator Filter also offers flexible installation options. It can be mounted directly to the engine or mounted remotely using flexible or rigid connections.

Automatic full flow filter
-
Composed of disc-type filter elements made with high strength stainless steel mesh integral to the aluminum die cast element frames; designed to operate at 5 times normal engine operating oil pressures
-
An integral hydraulic motor powered by the engine lube oil ensures the complete and continuous backflushing of the filtering surface area and no external power sources to drive
-
Low and constant pressure drop across the filter, giving consistently high levels of performance for the life of the engine while reducing parasitic losses
-
A patented process which carries the dirty backflushed oil through an internal passageway to the centrifuge for dirt removal and polishing of the oil, extends oil life and improves levels of oil cleanliness
-
Full flow protection of the engine
The Centrifuge
-
High efficiency disc stack centrifuge
-
Removes particles down to and below 2 µm from the concentrated backflushed flow
-
Contains a disc stack which enhances the performance of the centrifuge by 6 – 8 times compared to centrifuges without discs
-
Quick and easy to maintain – typically only necessary to clean every 1000 – 2000 hours at a fraction of the time and cost of cartridge filters
-
Self-driven by the backflushed oil that flows through the centrifuge
