Railway Lube Filters

  • Eddy Flow Design: Filtration Systems' patented Swirl Flow depth elements are a dramatic advance in filter technology. By alternating low and high density media layers, and balancing the circumferential to radial flow ratio, the media layers are progressively loaded with dirt, like peeling an onion. The result is an incredibly long filter, designed for reliable performance at low cost. Our depth filter elements last longer and perform better than pleated paper elements.
  • Cotton Media: The fine fiber diameter anoliophilic properties of cotton make it an ideal media for hydrocarbon filtration. We use only natural cotton fibers (no textile waste) in our products.
  • Local wood fiber: Wood absorbs water and acids (extensive lubricating oil drain intervals) and improves filter flow characteristics. Our wood is grown and processed right here in Wisconsin, for excellent cost control.

Filtration systems patented “Swirl Flow” technology is a breakthrough in depth filter design, providing exceptionally long life, high efficiency, and low flow restriction. “Swirl Flow” locomotive oil filters combine high efficiency and long life with moisture removal to reduce acid and sludge buildup. 180-day service intervals increase productivity and reduce maintenance costs.

Our high flow railroad lube filters have been used for years in demanding conditions, often over mountainous terrain. They consistently last a minimum of 3 months, and often 1/2 a year, between filter changes. We have manufactured hundreds of thousands of railway lubrication elements, protecting locomotive engines around the world, at the best value in the industry.

Filtration Systems' lube filters fit all EMD, Alco and GE locomotives.
