CJC Off-line Filtration

Why should I consider off-line filtration?

Short term benefits:

  • Reduced overall filtration costs (50%-80%)

  • Reduced equipment maintenance

  • Minimal installation costs

  • Minimal training required for operation

  • No shutdown required for element changes

Long term benefits:

  • Extended component life

  • Extended oil life

  • Extended in-line filter life

  • Reduced downtime due to equipment failure

  • Reduced environmental impact

Features of C.C. Jensen Filtration Units:

  • The unit is compact, self contained, and totally separate from the main system, with its own pump and motor

  • The unit can operate 24 hrs/day, even when the main system is shut down

  • The filter element has a deep media and consistent density to provide fine filtration, with a normal lifetime of 12-18 months

  • The filter element has 1.6 square metres of exposed surface area to allow for the slow, steady flow rate necessary for very fine filtration

  • The filter element has a dirt capacity high enough to be cost effective, on average between 5 and 7 kg (12 and 15 lbs)

  • The main system doesn't need to be shut down in order to change filter elements

  • C.C. Jensen offers a 90 day performance test to ensure you're satisfied with your unit

How does clean oil affect component life?

 

The Off-line Filtration Principle

    The filter pump draws fluid from the lowest point of the system tank, and passes it through the filter element (passing outside to inside).  The fluid then flows down through the center opening in the filter element and exits in the bottom center of the filter base.  The fluid is then returned to the system tank close to the main pump suction line.  All CJC elements have a filtration degree of 3 µm (micron) absolute, and 0.8 µm nominal, i.e. 98.7% of all solid particles > 3 µm and aprox. 50% of all perticles > 0.8 µm are retained in one pass.
