Spinner II Oil Cleaning Centrifuges

Reduce Engine Wear Rates —Literature Package Offered—

The Spinner II line of in-line flow powered oil cleaning centrifuges, a product of T.F. Hudgins & Asso- ciates Inc. of Houston, Texas, is now available from Warehouse Supplier of Lawrenceville, N.J. In addition, a free complete literature package with detailed brochures and pamph- lets is being offered on the oil clean- ing centrifuges, which fully de- scribes their advantages, applica- tions and features.

The Spinner II line supple ments full-flow filtration systems on die- sel, dual-fuel or spark-ignited gas engines. Self powered by the en- gine's oil pressure, the centrifuge uses centrifugal force to remove dirt, sludge, soot and other detri- mental contaminants from the en- gine oil. Such major engine manu- facturers as Alpha Diesel, B&W Ho- leby, Bergen, Caterpillar, Colt Fair- banks Morse, Deutz, Isotta Fras- chini, M.A.N., Pielstick, Wartsila and Waukesha have used the Spin- ner II oil cleaning centrifuge as standard or as a standard option on their engines.

Three models of the Spinner II cover a range of 120 to 960 gallons per hour and servicing is as easy as removing the "dirt cake" from the inner walls of the centrifuge bowl.

Oil flow through the Spinner II is constant throughout the service life of the unit, and it is able to capture particulate matter the full-flow misses down to less than .5 microns, effectively reducing engine wear rates. Additionally, Spinner II units may be combined in parallel to
