Filtration Systems

Filtration Systems' patented "Swirl Flow" technology is a breakthrough in depth filter design, providing exceptionally long life, high efficiency, and low restriction to flow.

Our high-flow railroad lube filters have been use for years in demanding conditions, often over mountainous terrain. They consistently last a minimum of 3 months, and often 1/2 year, between filter change-outs We have manufactured hundreds of thousands of railroad lube elements, protecting locomotive engines worldwide, with the best value in the industry.

Swirl Flow Design

Filtration Systems' patented "Swirl Flow™" depth elements are a dramatic break-through in filter technology. By alternating layers of low and high density media, and balancing the ratio of circumferential to radial flow, the media layers progressively load with dirt, like peeling an onion. The result is an incredibly long-life file, designed for reliable performance at low cost.

Filtration Systems Railroad Filters
	Different end-configurations assure direct interchangeability with EMD, G.E., Alco and Bombardier locomotives.
	High-strength spiral lock seamed center tube prevents collapse. Easily removed and recycled. Made in-house for cost control.
	Our patented "Swirl Flow™" media, the secret to long service life. Only available from Filtration Systems, an exceptional value!
	Outer perforated wrap for flow diffusion. The filter has no side seams or end caps

Railroad Filter Media
	Cotton's fine fiber diameter anoliophyllic properties make it an ideal medium for hydrocarbon filtration. Use only natural cotton fibers (not textile waste) in our products
	Wood absorbs water and acids (extending lube oil drain intervals) and improves the filters flow characteristics. Our wood is grown and processed here in Wisconsin, for excellent cost control.
