CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter – High-Efficiency Dust Protection for Mining Equipment
Description
Don’t let dust reduce your equipment’s lifespan.
The CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter is designed to prevent dust contamination and extend the life of air filtration systems in mining and heavy-duty environments.
Engineered for extreme dust conditions, this pre-filter uses advanced axial flow technology to reduce airborne contaminants before they reach the main air filter, improving overall system efficiency and reducing maintenance demands.
High-Efficiency Performance in Extreme Dust Conditions
This pre-filter range is equipped with a CFT 18 mm tube system designed to deliver ultra-high filtration efficiency in harsh mining environments.
The axial inlet and outlet flow design helps:
- Minimise pressure gradient.
- Maintain consistent airflow performance.
- Improve efficiency under variable operating conditions.
The high turn-down ratio of the tube system ensures stable performance even when operating conditions change.
Durable Construction for Mining Environments
The pre-filters are manufactured from:
- Aluminium sheet metal.
- Powder-coated internal and external surfaces.
This construction ensures:
- Long service life.
- Resistance to harsh mining conditions.
- Reliable performance in abrasive environments.
Easy Installation and Low Maintenance Design
The interface is designed for no fabrication required during installation, making it quick and simple to integrate into existing systems.
Maintenance is minimal:
- No daily servicing required.
- Only the dust bowl requires emptying when it reaches the “full” level.
Passive Scavenging System
Dust is removed using a passive scavenge system via a serviceable dust bowl, reducing the need for mechanical components or powered systems.
Benefits of the CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter
- Extends air filter life significantly.
- Reduces labour and maintenance costs.
- Lowers total cost of ownership.
- Reduces risk of engine damage from incorrect filter fitment.
- May reduce silica contamination in oil (when filtration is properly managed).
- No moving parts for improved reliability.
- Ideal for graders, loaders, and ADTs.
Frequently Asked Questions about the CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter:
How does the CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter work?
The CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter uses axial cyclone tubes inside the unit to create a swirling airflow. This separates dust from the air using centrifugal force, allowing cleaner air to pass through while dust is collected in the dust bowl.
What maintenance is required for the CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter?
The pre-filter has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance. The only routine task is emptying the dust bowl when it reaches the indicated “full” level.
What equipment is the CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter suitable for?
The pre-filter is ideally suited for secondary mining equipment such as graders, loaders, and ADTs, where high dust conditions require improved air filtration performance.
What are the main benefits of installing the CFT 18 RAM Series Pre-Filter?
The CFT RAM Series Pre-Filter helps extend air filter life, reduce maintenance and labour costs, lower total cost of ownership, and improve equipment reliability in dusty mining environments. It also helps reduce engine wear by decreasing the amount of dust reaching the primary filtration system.
