A centrifuge oil filter is an oil filter that spins the engine oil at about 2000 time of gravity around inside the filter driven by the oil pump and forces all the crap (i.e black carbon found in your engine oil) to the top of the filter
The filter can then be taken apart and all the crap can be cleaned out and then re used again
The idea of this is it filters to about 1/3 of a micron and removes all the black carbon for better engine where
I know they fit these filter to certain trucks including some Volvos and DAFs
I need one of these filters but for a different project
My question is which make modal and years can you find a centrifuge filter fitted to an engine
As I want one cheap

most of the old Engine have it.Just go at Continent to a scrap Yard or look at Ebay for old lorry-Engine and contact seller
On the daf, i think it’s an option dependant on the service intervals for oil changes. This may be hard to find for this reason, but the cartridge seemed quite cheap to replace.
They were located on the o/s/r of the engine behind the turbo.
I think theyre called Centrifugal or spinner. Volvo F10/12s had them fitted to some, and i had one fitted to my F12..where you would find one today, i dont know, try some of the guys who have rebuilt Volvos…

So they cant be cleaned out and reused
Dont think that is going to be any good to me
Unless there was a way of playing around with it and making it seal back up again

For watchin Pics
if you look on German Sites google for " Oel Zentrifuge "
For Lorry you find them nearly in every old European Engine if MAN,Scania,Magirus Deutz
Only thing i ever seen fitted to a Volvo was the Clean oil filter which was basically an extra filter which was usually bolted to the back of the front wheel arch and you could remove the top and fit a replacement filter periodically. Served my time on Volvos in the 80s and they were usually fitted to the likes of Asda motors. Cant speak for the smaller Scanias but the 12 ,14, and 16 litre ones have a spinner fitted which you can remove and take apart to clean out the crap and just put back togethor with a new o ring. You should be able to pick a Scania one up at a breakers yard.
Sorry, never had much to do with Rolls Royce. I have rebuilt most European truck engines even Gardners, as i said earlier the only ones fitted as standard were to Scanias maybe someone else on here could answer the Rolls question. On the V8 engine they are bolted on the top in the middle of the V with 4 bolts, you should be able to get one from a breakers yard that has any Scania model in. That will be your best bet

The one on my Scanny was reusable,in fact there wasn’t a filter in it just a spinner that threw the oil to the sides but it was amazing to see the amount of carbon that stuck to the housing walls.

Scania have used them for years, in 1994 there was one fitted to my truck at Tesco so you may get an old one from a scrap Scania.
Scania had one on the Vabis 85 super, 111, 112 / 142 and 113 /143 after that I have never worked on a Scania anymore, or drove on for that matter.
The scania ones are very easy to clean and to reseal, I use to do it every oil change.
They had only a very small complimentary cartridge filter for the turbo!
The driver needs to be aware of a centrifugal filter, as he need to check for the noise as the engine is switched of, they give a humming noise for several minutes when the engine was switched of.
I they reported in that there was no noise, we would take the filter out and check it, mosttimes they would be full after running to long on cheap diesel (Eastern Europe in the 70/80’s)
The only thing you need to replace on them was the top O-ring to seal the lid
If you look on this link you will see that the daf XF 95 has one aswel: google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h … m=1&itbs=1

On the Scania it was important to line up the arrows on the lid when they were cleaned out as they could go out of balance and destroy the bearings it ran on. They ran at a really high speed and yes you could hear them winding down when the engine was switched off.
