An apparatus for cleaning used oil filters, detecting metallic particles, and collecting the filter debris is discussed. Fluid and air are forced out of the filter under pressure in the filter's reverse flow direction, dislodging debris trapped within the oil filter. This debris flows through an outlet in an oil filter housing under gravity through a metal particle sensor where any metallic particles are detected and counted. The fluid then flows into a debris strainer where all particles above a given size are retained. The solid debris is retained in this strainer and the fluid passes through into a reservoir. A pump re-circulates fluid from both the reservoir and the strainer. |
