Rotera's Active Crankcase Ventilation Technology
Based Rotera’s Disc Stack Separation Technology, the active crankcase ventilation system removes oil mist continuously out of the blow-by, thereby enhancing overall engine performance and efficiency. Beside a separation rate close to 100%, the technology generates under-pressure that evacuates the crankcase – a demand by existing and future emission regulations. The system is adapted for car, truck and off-road vehicle engines and can either be electrically driven by a BLDC motor or hydraulically driven using a heron turbine design.

Truck
Crankcase ventilation systems adapted for both open and closed applications, driven either electrically or hydraulically
Car
Compact crankcase ventilation systems without compromising on efficiency rate, driven by BLDC motor or hydraulically
Off-road Vehicle
Customized solutions to fulfill specific off-road demands
Solution for hybrid, electric and fuel cell applications
Rotera’s Disc Stack Technology is not limited to cleaning crankcase gas in traditional combustion engines. The solution can be designed to get rid of blow-by from hybrid cars as well. Moreover, the technology can be used for separating liquid and solid particles from aerosols in electric motors and in fuel cell applications.

Rotera R&D
Rotera’s laboratory is located in lllertissen in Germany. It is equipped with the latest technology and equipment for development and testing according to the automotive standards. In addition to standard equipment, the laboratory consists of several test rigs that are specially designed for CCV testing. Among others, customized test benches for icing and for measurement of soot deposition.
The team consists of engineers with over 20 years’ experience in the automotive industry and specialized in the field of crankcase ventilation and technical plastics engineering, as well as those with over 50 years’ experience in the field of disc stack separation technology. Our engineers have contributed to some of the greatest innovations in disc stack technology and obtained several crucial patents.
