Built-in redundancy in engine oil filtration system underpins ‘zero-loss’ operation

The German filtration systems specialist said the engineBoll 6.49 guarantees continuous cleaning of the servo oil and ensures zero-loss operation in the oil circulation system because it has two chambers with backflushing mechanisms in a redundant arrangement.

Boll & Kirch Filterbau vice president, sales Torsen Vogel explained how the redundant arrangement functioned. “In the event of a malfunction in one of these filter chambers, the second can take over the filtration process completely. This is done without manual switching from the outside. The new engineBoll 6.49 fulfills the required filter fineness of 6 micrometres in a unique technical implementation,” said Mr Vogel.

He added that the impressive number of units sold “underlines that with this design, we have successfully introduced an international new standard in filtration technology for two-stroke engines. From our point of view, the engineBoll 6.49 has the best filtration technology for servo oil maintenance for ME engines released by MAN.”

Boll & Kirch describes the engineBoll 6.49 as a “smart filtration system” that is easy to install because it is compact.

The product development was implemented in partnership with MAN Energy Solutions, Copenhagen and was validated by the renowned French institute IFTS.
