Oil Cleaning Centrifuges for Maritime

Keep marine engines running cleaner, longer — with less maintenance and lower oil-related costs.

On the water, uptime is everything. Spinner II® centrifuges remove soot and contaminants from lubricating oil with unmatched efficiency, helping vessels extend service intervals, reduce waste, and protect critical equipment. From main propulsion engines to ship service generators, Spinner II keeps your fleet working longer between stops — no matter the waters you operate in.

Why Maritime Operators Choose Spinner II

Lower Oil-Related Costs – Extend drain intervals, cut oil purchases, and eliminate disposable filters.
Protect Critical Equipment – Cleaner oil reduces wear up to 50%, extending the life of engines, turbos, and auxiliaries.
Increase Time in Service – High debris-holding capacity and constant efficiency enable longer runs between maintenance windows.

How It Works

Installed in addition to a full-flow filter, Spinner II centrifuges use centrifugal force — up to 2,000 Gs — to spin out contaminants as small as 0.1 micron. With no media to plug or replace, efficiency stays constant across the service interval. Compared to premium filters, Spinner II units hold up to 10× more debris, making them ideal for the heavy soot loads and demanding duty cycles of marine engines.

Maritime Applications

Main Propulsion Engines – Medium- and slow-speed diesels in coastal and ocean-going vessels
Auxiliary Power – Ship service gensets, harbor power, emergency backup systems
Deck & Support Systems – Hydraulic power units, winches, gearboxes, compressors
High-Soot Environments – Frequent load changes, harbor maneuvering, or extended idling

Spinner II centrifuges are trusted across a wide range of vessels — from commercial fishing fleets and research ships to lake freighters and workboats — wherever reliability and extended service life are critical.

Benefits for Vessels & Fleets

Extend Oil Service Intervals – Achieve 2–4× longer drains while maintaining oil integrity (with oil analysis validation).
Reduce Maintenance Burden at Sea – Simple, tool-free centrifuge service means less crew time and fewer scheduled stops.
Protect Engines & Equipment – Continuous removal of soot and wear particles reduces downtime and costly repairs.
Cut Waste & Environmental Impact – Less oil consumption and no disposable filters to handle onboard or at port.

Note: Always consult your engine OEM, lube supplier, and oil analysis results before extending drain intervals.

Proven Worldwide

Spinner II centrifuges have been factory-installed by more than 50 engine manufacturers and are in service on hundreds of thousands of engines worldwide. Across commercial, research, and workboat operations, maritime operators rely on Spinner II to reduce costs, extend engine life, and keep vessels mission-ready.

Case Studies

Cleaner Oil, Lower Costs

A towboat proved the Spinner II® CS oil cleaning system keeps lube oil 40% cleaner while cutting filter disposal costs.

Reliable Hydraulics, Zero Downtime

By installing a Spinner II® Model 3600 centrifuge, a dredge eliminated hydraulic failures and operated 24/7 for over a year.
