CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter – Heavy-Duty Dust Separation for Mining Equipment
Description
Reduce Maintenance and Extend Filter Life in Mining Fleets
The CFT 20 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 harsh operating 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 to provide ultra-high filtration efficiency in demanding dust environments.
The axial inlet and outlet flow design helps:
- Minimise pressure gradient.
- Maintain stable airflow performance.
- Sustain efficiency under variable flow conditions.
A high turn-down ratio ensures consistent performance even when operating conditions fluctuate.
Durable Construction for Mining Applications
The CFT 20 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 environments
- Reliable performance under continuous operation
Compact, Easy Installation Design
The interface is designed for no fabrication during installation, making integration quick and efficient.
The compact design also occupies less space than OEM-fitted pre-filters, improving access to other serviceable components.
Maintenance Requirements
- No daily maintenance required (if scavenge components are functional).
- Weekly inspections recommended to ensure scavenge system operation.
Scavenge System
The CFT 20 Series uses an active scavenge system, operating via:
- Venturi system, or
- Fan-assisted extraction
This model does not include a serviceable scavenge bowl.
Benefits of the CFT 20 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.
- Ideal for blast hole drill applications.
Frequently Asked Questions about the CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter:
What is the CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter?
The CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter is a high-efficiency air pre-filtration system designed for mining equipment. It is installed ahead of the main air filter to remove dust from incoming air, helping improve filtration performance and reduce maintenance requirements in harsh operating environments.
What is the CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter used for?
The CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter is designed for blast hole drill applications in mining environments, where high dust loads and continuous operation require reliable air pre-filtration performance.
How does the CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter protect the engine?
It removes dust from incoming air before it reaches the primary air filter, reducing dust loading and helping protect the engine from wear and potential failure caused by airborne contaminants.
Does the CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter require regular servicing?
No daily maintenance is required. The system only requires weekly inspections to ensure the active scavenge system is functioning correctly.
What type of scavenge system does the CFT 20 Series use?
The CFT 20 Series Pre-Filter uses an active scavenge system, which operates via either a Venturi system or a fan. It does not include a serviceable scavenge bowl.
