If you maintain diesel engines, you likely accumulate a large number of used oil filters each year—full of sludge and contaminated engine oil. The EPA considers these used filters hazardous waste until they are properly processed for disposal or recycling, and violations can result in costly fines.
Recycling Oil Filters
Recycling is the preferred alternative to disposal. An oil filter crusher presses filters down to 25% of their original size, allowing more filters per drum and reducing collection and hauling fees. The more filters you crush and recycle, the more money you save.
Cut Costs and Extend Oil Life
Instead of relying solely on filters, consider a bypass oil centrifuge system:
- Reduces the need for filters by up to 50%
- Extends engine oil life
- Lowers operating costs
- Reduces waste and environmental impact
Investing in proper oil filter management and a centrifuge system saves money, ensures compliance, and protects your diesel engines.
