A rotating crankcase ventilation filter element comprises a filter media comprising a plurality of filter media layers. A first end cap is positioned on a filter media first end. The first end cap comprises a first end cap main body, and a first plurality of indenting features positioned on the first end cap main body proximate the filter media first end. The first plurality of indenting features contact and indent corresponding segments of the filter media first end, causing the plurality of filter media layers to interlock at the corresponding segments. The interlocking prevents movement of the plurality of filter media layers relative to each other.

A separation assembly comprises a housing, a jet that expels a fluid within the housing, and a turbine assembly positioned within the housing and positioned so as to be contacted by the fluid expelled from the jet. The fluid causes the turbine assembly to rotate about a center rotational axis within the housing. The turbine assembly comprises a first turbine portion and a second turbine portion that are separately formed from each other and attachable together. The first turbine portion comprises a plurality of first vanes and the second turbine portion comprises a plurality of second vanes.

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, an apparatus includes a tubular filter and a motor coupled to the tubular filter. The tubular filter includes a plurality of apertures. The motor rotates the tubular filter about an axis while a differential pressure is applied to an interior space of the tubular filter relative to exterior to the tubular filter. A force is applied, related to the rotation of the tubular filter, to particulate matter agglomerated to an exterior surface of the tubular filter such that the particulate matter is removed from the exterior surface.
