INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY & LESS MAINTENANCE

The off-line filters will have a positive effect on your maintenance budget as well as increase your productivity and
reduce your environmental footprint.

Crushers are often working in dusty environments which

can contribute to high contamination of the lubrication oil.
A complete clean lubrication system increases the lifetime
of your crusher and oil tank components and prevents
breakdowns in the crushing process.

Extended service intervals

Less unplanned downtime
Increased lifetime of crusher and oil tank components
Increased lifetime of oil and in-line filters
Clean oil in the complete lubrication system
The Sandvik Off-line Filters are used in connection to the
crusher lubrication tank for continuous fine filtration of
the crushers main lubrication system oil. The off-line filter
27/54 and 27/108 are ideal for removal of particles, degradation products and water in continuous operation.

Off-line filter
proven efficiency
The off-line filter has proven its many benefits. Several references and
studied cases show that the lubrication oil for a crusher lasts about five
times longer with the off-line filter installed. In addition the in-line filters
last about ten times longer. We studied the lubrication system of a Sandvik
mining crushing unit (CH880) that for two months had the off-line filter installed. The oil analysis of the oil before and after clearly shows the filtration
efficiency in the result. The filter was installed after one year of operation of
the crusher.

Before off-line filtration:

The oil is heavily contaminated with metal, sand and plastic particles.
After two weeks off-line filtration:
The degradation by-product level of the oil in the form of varnish was 30%.
After two months off-line filtration:
Degradation by-product level of the oil in the form of varnish was less than
10%. The chemical condition of the oil is good and suitable for further use.
After two months of filtration

THE OFF-LINE FILTER IS COST EFFICIENT

Decreased oil costs - purchase, service and disposal

Reduced in-line filter costs - purchase and disposal
Minimized unplanned downtime costs
Less wear on the crusher and oil tank components

LESS WEAR ON THE CRUSHER COMPONENTS

A complete clean lubrication system increases the lifetime of your crusher

and tank components and prevents break-downs. Unclean oil may cause
damage to your crusher components.

FUNCTION

The pump/motor drives the lubrication oil from the lowest point of the
crusher lubrication tank, through the oil inlet valve of the off-line filter
house and through the filter inserts where the contamination gets absorbed
by the cellulose discs of the filter inserts. The process creates a pressure drop
which is easily monitored on the pressure gauge placed at the top of the
filter house and via a signal available from a pressure switch on the filter
unit bottom plate. The filtered lubrication oil then continues through the oil
outlet valve and returns into the upper part of the crusher lubrication tank.
THE FILTER PUMP/MOTOR

The filter pump is of gear wheel pump type. The electric motor can be supplied
for all standard AC voltages.

THE FILTER INSERT

The filter inserts consist of cellulose discs bonded together in a sandwich

configuration for a depth filtration instead of the surface filtration commonly
offered by conventional in-line filters. There are two filter inserts fitted in the
27/54 model and four in the 27/108 model. The high filtration capacity of the
filter inserts is achieved thanks to their unique material properties combined
with the manufacturing process of the filter inserts.
