Magnetic filtration can be very cost-effective when used in industrial plants, power facilities, and for manufacturers and others who use oil as a lubricating medium to protect their machinery.
While we mostly provide spin-on filters for automotive applications the design is flexible to accommodate other types of equipment and machinery. We also have magnetic in-line filters available. In fact, one of the top lubrication researchers and publishers in the world, Noria, has the following to say regarding oil analysis and magnetic filtration:
“With few exceptions, the use of magnets should have little to no effect on the test results from
typical routine oil analysis. In many applications, the practice of using magnetic plugs and
other magnetic devices for collecting and inspecting ferrous materials in lubricated systems
is considered best practice and should not be disregarded.”
