RADIAL FIELD MAGNETIC FILTRATION
80% of equipment failures are caused by unfiltered contamination. You can avoid those failures by using OEI advanced filtration systems to remove 99% of contaminants down to submicon sizes.
The patented radial field magnetic technology employed in OEI rare earth magnet filters creates fields that are 10x stronger than ceramic magnetic filters. Stronger, wider fields attract more particles in a greater range of sizes. OEI filters build static fields to remove non-ferrous (including plastics and silica) as well as ferrous contaminants from submicron to 100+ microns

ADVANTAGES OF MAGNETIC FILTRATION
- Filter contaminants from below 1 micron to above 100– Using Rare Earth Magnets, specialized design, and our patented production method, our Magnetic Filters are able to collect ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants from under 1 micron to above 100 microns in size.
- Easily clean and reuse– Simply remove the Magnetic Rod from the Magnetic Filter, wipe clean with a rag or sample collection cloth and replace back in the filter.
- Reduce consumable and disposable costs– Stop paying disposal costs for your used filters.
- Create cost efficiency– The cost of removing a gram of particles from the oil with magnetic technology is low compared to disposable filters.
- Limited flow restriction– Unlike conventional filters, OEI magnetic filters do not significantly increase flow restriction (pressure drop) as they load with particles. While conventional filters can go into bypass when they become plugged with contamination, magnetic filters (including mag-plugs and rods) continue to remove particles and allow clean oil flow. Most diesel and gasoline engines provide no indication of a filter that has gone into bypass. In such cases, the oil may flow for an extended period of time without being filtered.
- Extend filter life– OEI Magnetic Filtration products are designed to last upwards of 15 years and have proven themselves in the field.
- Reduce risk of oil oxidation– Iron and steel particles promote oil oxidation by their catalytic properties. Premature oil oxidation can lead to varnish, sludge and corrosion. As such, using magnetic filters to continuously and efficiently remove iron and steel particles should have a positive impact on oil service life, and over time, reduce oil consumption if oil is changed on condition.
- Identify wear particles– Wear particle analysis can be used as a Predictive and Preventative maintenance tool by identifying early component wear and sources of contamination.
- Easily perform spot checks for wear– Magnetic Plugs and Rods can be removed for visual inspection (daily, weekly, etc.) without stopping the machine or removing a filter. They provide the dual service of contaminant removal and condition monitoring (from the density of wear particles observed).
- Filter without oil flow– Many machines are lubricated by oil splash, bath, flingers, slingers and paddles. Without access to a pump and oil flow, conventional onboard filters cannot be used to keep the oil clean and optimize machine reliability (reduce wear) and lubricant service life (reduce oil oxidation). However, Magnetic Plugs and Rods do not require oil to flow in pipes and lines. They require the oil only to agitate and circulate in a sump, reservoir or oil pan. This movement causes these particles to migrate to a loading surface of the Magnetic Filter.
- Filter gravity flow drain lines–Due to the lack of oil pressure, it is nearly impossible to locate fine filtration on gravity drains to catch wear debris before it enters the reservoir. However, magnetic filters, rods and plugs do not restrict flow, enabling particles to be quickly and conveniently removed directly in oil drains.
