Lube Oil Filter
Hydraulic& Lube OilFilters are used in demanding applications of filtration of oil under any operating conditions. Irrespective of the operating conditions like high pressure, low pressure, highly viscous oil, or highly contaminated oil, we have a best adequate solution for these applications. Our filters can remove the moisture content that is present in the oil.
Hydraulic filters are subcategorized as
- Suction strainer.
- Return line filter.
- High pressure filter.
- Medium pressure filter.
- Low pressure filter.
- Offline & portable mobile filter unit.
- Replacement filter elements.
- Moisture removal filter.
Overview
Lube oil filters also named engine oil filters are important parts for internal combustion engines. Their primary task is to remove particles in the engine oil that makes the lubrication clean and efficient. This contributes to less friction and wear on engine parts and prolonging engine life at a lower cost by enhancing the overall performance.
In the last few decades we have provided the best lube oil filter manufacturers globally. Filter Concept lube oil filters are designed according to ASME VIII and API 614 lube systems to perform a high level of efficiency with less downtime.
How Lube Oil Filter Works and its Elements
Lube oil filter elements are the core components inside filters for blocking contaminants like dirt, metal particles, soot, and sludge. As these components ensure that the oil is clean, they protect important engine and machinery components, minimize friction and wear, and also improve the overall equipment service life.
The Filter Concept lube oil filter elements are designed using high-pressure, high-temperature filtration media and strong construction to address high-pressure and high-temperature settings. We offer:
- It has the ability to hold a lot of dirt to extend service intervals.
- When oil flow is to be maintained, low pressure drop design is done.
- Various applications have wide choices of micron rating.
- Maximum performance will require the use of durable materials such cellulose, fiberglass or polyester.
- Easily retrofit and replace components with leading-brand alternatives.
- Custom-built solutions engineered for your specific system needs.
Regardless of the industrial machine, power generating equipment, ship engines, or automobiles, Filter Concept lube oil filter elements will provide a reliable and cost-effective performance.
Major Types of Lube Oil Filters
- Primary or Full-Flow Oil Filter – It is a common type of filter. It cleans and removes contaminants from the oil and keeps maintaining temperature when cold starts. This full-flow design allows oil to move freely in the engine with sufficient lubricants for optimal performance.
- Cartridge Oil Filter – It is friendly and economical to the environment. This filter is available with two variants one is fibre and another is metal. Fiber filters are more often used due to recycling.
- By-Pass Oil Filter – This type of filter works alongside a full-flow filter to provide additional support. It is used to purify thin and small particles of the engine oil. And protect engine parts to improve the life of motor oil.
- Spin-On Filters – This type of filter contains a steel canister hosing paper element. It is easily replaced and is usually utilized on automotive engines and industrial engines.
- Magnetic Filters – The magnets are used to remove metallic particles from the motor oil. This filter is not required for replacements only regular cleaning particles form oil.

What is a lube oil filter?
A lube oil filter is a filter that can be used to remove the dirt in engine or machinery oil, leaving it clean to allow proper lubrication, less wear and to put more years on the engine or equipment.
Do I need to lube an oil filter?
Yes, a little oil applied to the gasket of an oil filter would be a good idea so as to have a perfect seal which is easy to remove.
What main purpose is used for lube oil filters?
The equipment is necessary to make the lubricating oils clean by eliminating pollutants, including dirt, particles, and water, which may negatively affect the engine and other mechanical parts.
What is the main function for lube filters?
The key point behind having a lube filter is that only pure oil passes into the engine, therefore, decreasing the chances of its damage and prolonging the life of the engine. Among the most significant characteristics of lube filters is that they are able to trap even the smallest particles without much difficulty.
What is the working principle of lube oil filters?
This is provided by the oil pump of the engine, which forces the oil to pass through the filter, which in turn receives the oil via holes in the base plate perimeter. The dirty oil is forced (under pressure) through the filter media and back through the centre hole where it starts the engine again.
What is the method of removing water in lube oil?
Multiple technologies are available to remove water in oil such as vacuum dehydration, centrifugal separator, jet-dry equipment, headspace dehumidification, aggregate adsorption medium and hygroscopic polymer impregnated filter medium.
