CFT 14-16 Series Pre-Filter – Compact High-Efficiency Dust Protection for Blast Hole Drills
Description
Heavy-Duty Air Filtration for Blast Hole Drilling Equipment
The CFT 14-16 Series Pre-Filter is designed to deliver high-efficiency dust separation in extreme mining environments, helping extend air filter life and reduce maintenance requirements on heavy-duty equipment.
Built for demanding conditions, this pre-filter uses advanced axial cyclone technology to reduce dust loading 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 for ultra-high filtration efficiency in harsh dust environments.
The axial inlet and outlet flow design helps:
- Minimise pressure gradient.
- Maintain consistent airflow performance.
- Sustain high efficiency under variable flow conditions.
A high turn-down ratio ensures stable operation even when airflow conditions change.
Durable Construction for Mining Applications
The CFT 14-16 Series Pre-Filter is manufactured from:
- Mild steel sheet metal.
- Full internal and external powder coating.
This provides:
- Extended service life.
- Resistance to harsh mining conditions.
- Reliable performance in abrasive environments.
Compact, Easy Installation Design
The interface is designed for no fabrication during installation, making integration quick and straightforward.
This model also occupies less space than OEM-fitted pre-filters, improving access to surrounding serviceable components.
Maintenance Requirements
- No daily maintenance required (if scavenge components are functional).
- Weekly inspections recommended to ensure scavenge system operation.
Scavenge System
The system uses an active scavenge design via:
- Venturi system, or
- Fan-assisted extraction
There is no serviceable scavenge bowl on this model.
Benefits of the CFT 14-16 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 fitment.
- May reduce silica contamination in oil (depending on filtration management practices).
- No moving parts in the pre-filter unit.
- Compact design improves installation flexibility and service access.
- Ideally suited for blast hole drill applications.
Frequently Asked Questions about the CFT 14-16 Series Pre-Filter:
What equipment is the CFT 14-16 Series Pre-Filter designed for?
The CFT 14-16 Series Pre-Filter is ideally suited for blast hole drills, where compact design, high dust loads, and continuous operation demand reliable air filtration performance.
How does the CFT 14-16 Series improve air filtration efficiency?
It uses axial cyclone tube technology to remove dust from incoming air before it reaches the main air filter. This reduces dust loading, helping improve filtration efficiency and extend service intervals.
Does the CFT 14-16 Series Pre-Filter require regular maintenance?
No daily maintenance is required. The system only requires weekly inspections to ensure the scavenge components are functioning correctly, provided the system is operating as intended.
What makes the installation of the CFT 14-16 Series easier than OEM systems?
The pre-filter is designed for no fabrication during installation and has a compact footprint compared to OEM units. This also improves access to nearby serviceable components, making maintenance easier overall.
