Purolator Facet, Inc. (Booth #2433/2435) announces its external Scavenge Oil filter systems will soon become standard equipment on the MD Helicopters, Inc. models 500E and 530F, which are equipped with the Rolls Royce model 250-C20B and 250-C30 engines. Currently MD Helicopters also uses the external oil filter on all their 250-C20R engine installations which are installed in their 520N Notar helicopters.
Purolator Scavenge Oil filters provide superior engine protection to operators of turbine powered helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. By filtering oil downstream of the scavenge pumps, these filters remove the contaminants generated by the engine, including carbon and metal wear particles. This filtration protects the oil cooler, reservoir, and engine. Purolator Scavenge Oil filter kit P/N: 1741050-01 and 1741300 are FAA Approved under Supplemental Type Certificates Nos. SH401GL and SH2825SO.
Typical features of a Purolator Scavenge Oil filter kit:
1. Removes carbon and metal particles down to 3 microns.
2. Engine and oil systems operate more efficiently.
3. Reduces false chip lights.
4. Keeps magnetic plugs clean and operating longer.
5. Extends oil change intervals.
6. Protects valuable oil coolers.
7. Removes the abrasive grit ingested in the engine’s oil system from hostile environments.
8. Increases bearing, gear, and seal life spans.
9. Eliminates guesswork of filter replacement. Microdelta differential pressure indicator alerts operator of impending filter bypass and need to change the filter element.
10. Each filter comes with a bypass valve to ensure a constant supply of oil to the engine.
11. Each filter system comes in an easy-to-install kit which is FAA certified (STC). No special tools required.
Purolator Facet, Inc. has provided over 10,000 similar kits to helicopter fleets around the world, improving engine protection and performance as well as lowering maintenance costs. The Scavenge Oil filter kit for the MD Helicopter, Inc. models 500E and 530F is now standard equipment and available for purchase.
Purolator Facet, Inc. is a subsidiary of CLARCOR (NYSE: CLC), a global provider of filtration products and services. CLARCOR offers the filtration industry’s broadest product line, top product quality, and most extensive worldwide distribution network.

Purolator Facet, Inc. is a creative engineering and manufacturing organization producing a wide diversity of filtration products. It has been organized to offer fluid mechanics and porous media technology to solve problems and thereby create customer produts. More than seven decades of engineering and production experience have resulted in the creation of thousands of filters and eleents, indicators and switches, and a wide variety of non-filtration products used in three major markets: Aerospace, General Industrial, and Oil and Gas filtration.
Aerospace
The largest sector of business continues to be Aerospace. Purolator Facet designs and manufactures differential pressure switches and indicators, fuel, lube oil, and hydraulic filters for commercial aircraft, business aircraft, helicopters, aircraft engine manufacturers, and component manufacturers. Among these manufacturers are familiar company names: Boeing, Bell Helicopter, Cessna, Pratt & Whitney, and Honeywell. Filter assemblies and elements are sold directly to the OEM, and sold in the aftermarket as FAA/PMA approved parts through aircraft distributors.
General Industrial
This market segment consists of a number of different types of customers and a wide variety of customizable filter designs. Many of the filter designs incorporate our diffusion bonding technology, where multiple layers of stainless steel mesh are laminated to form a high temperature, non-corrosive filter media with uniform controlled pore size. Applications include filter discs for truck engine fuel injectors, helium/oil filters for cryogenic vacuum pumps and compressors, fluidizing media for moving powders, and Poroloy tubes for last chance hydraulic servo valve protection.
Purolator offers a standard line of hydraulic filters and elements, as well as standard fluid processing filter elements sold through our distribution network. These filters are designed to be interchangeable with several other prominent filter manufacturers for in-plant use. Hydraulic applications include: protection of hydraulic servo valves, hydraulic presses, motion control devices, and mobile equipment. Typically, our process filter elements are used in chemical processing applications, hot oven gas applications, and the removal of gels in process fluids.
Oil & Gas Filtration
This relatively new segment of business is one of our fastest growth areas. Purolator Facet has joined forces with Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. to market and manufacture sand control screens for oil exploration in deepwater horizontal oil wells. Halliburton offers the widest array of sand control products to the industry, and has been able to bring its leadership in sand control together with the proven Purolator expertise in porous metal filtraton to offer the newest generation of sand control screen technology: Poroplus and Poroplus II sand control screens. BP Amoco, Conoco, Chevron Genesis, Exxon Diana are just a few of the extended reach horizontal projects for which Poroplus and Poroplus II screens were chosen.
