CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter – Increased Performance, Reduced Maintenance
Description
Increased Performance. Reduced Maintenance.
The CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter is designed to deliver high-efficiency dust separation in extreme mining environments, helping extend filter life and reduce maintenance demands on heavy-duty equipment.
Built for harsh operating conditions, this pre-filter uses advanced axial cyclone technology to improve airflow performance while reducing dust contamination before it reaches the primary air filtration system.
High-Efficiency Performance in Extreme Dust Conditions
This pre-filter range is equipped with a CFT 18 mm tube system, engineered to deliver ultra-high filtration efficiency in challenging dust environments.
The axial inlet and outlet flow design helps:
Minimise pressure gradient
Maintain stable airflow performance
Sustain efficiency in variable flow conditions
A high turn-down ratio ensures consistent performance even when operating conditions fluctuate.
Durable Construction for Mining Applications
The CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter is manufactured from:
- Mild steel sheet metal.
- Full internal and external powder coating.
This construction provides:
- Long service life in harsh mining environments.
- Resistance to wear and corrosion.
- Reliable performance under continuous use.
Easy Installation and Low Maintenance Design
The interface is designed to require no fabrication during installation, making it quick and simple to integrate into existing systems.
Maintenance requirements are minimal:
- No daily servicing required (if scavenge components are functional).
- Weekly inspection recommended to ensure scavenge system operation.
Scavenge System
The CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter uses an active scavenge system, operating via:
- Venturi system, or
- Fan-assisted extraction
This system does not include a serviceable scavenge bowl.
Benefits of the CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter
- Extends air filter life significantly.
- Reduces labour and maintenance costs.
- Lowers total cost of ownership.
- Reduces risk of engine failure due to incorrect filter installation.
- May help reduce silica contamination in oil (depending on filtration management practices).
- No moving parts in the pre-filter unit.
- Ideal for graders, loaders, and similar secondary mining equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions about the CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter:
What makes the CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter different from other pre-filters?
The CFT 100 Series uses an active scavenge system (Venturi or fan-assisted) instead of a serviceable dust bowl. It is designed for continuous performance in extreme dust conditions with minimal manual intervention.
What type of maintenance does the CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter require?
The pre-filter does not require daily maintenance. However, weekly inspections are recommended to ensure the scavenge components are functioning correctly. If the system is operating properly, no additional servicing is required.
Can the CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter be installed on any equipment?
It is ideally suited for secondary mining equipment such as graders and loaders, where heavy dust exposure is common. Installation requires no fabrication, making it suitable for straightforward integration into compatible systems.
How does the CFT 100 Series Pre-Filter improve engine and filter performance?
By removing dust before it reaches the main air filter, the system helps extend filter life, reduce maintenance costs, and lower the risk of engine wear or failure caused by dust contamination in harsh mining environments.
