Mills in mines operate under extremely rough environmental conditions leading to very contaminated oil resulting in high ISO classes. Recommended ISO cleanliness level of the oil is 19/16/13, if the mills are to work reliably and effectively and thereby add to a profitable production.
Typically, the CJC™ Fine Filters, CJC™ Filter Separators, and CJC™ Desorbers are installed on the lube oil systems containing 400-10,000 L of oil.
The lube oil system is most often contaminated by oil degradation products, silica dust, and water. The result of this contamination can be extremely expensive repair and downtime. The most sensitive components are bearings and bronze bushings found in the system.
The most important effect of contaminated oil is lost production.
