Once overheating begins you are stuck having to remove the Filter to clean it; possibly on the Road. At least if you can see the stuff inside (assuming you check it) you have a to catch the issue before you overheat.
It seems like what is needed is something constructed similar to a Fuel Water Separator.
The Coolant would enter what amounts to an expansion area as it does on many Fuel Water Separators; that slows down the velocity of the Coolant; heavy particles fall to the bottom while the clean Coolant continues upwards through a screen and on to the radiator.
A Glass Bowel at the bottom would allow for observation and drainage.
Boy they are expensive, close to $50 each.
