The genuine XCMG Air Filter Safety Element with OEM number 800167624 is a high-efficiency secondary filter cartridge designed for XCMG articulated dump trucks, wheel loaders, and off-highway equipment.
This safety element provides backup filtration in case the primary air filter element is damaged or improperly installed, preventing dust from reaching the engine intake.
Manufactured from premium synthetic media with a polyurethane seal, the XCMG 800167624 safety element offers ultra-fine particle capture and low flow restriction, ensuring engine protection even in the most severe dust conditions.
It is installed downstream of the primary filter inside the air cleaner housing, acting as a final barrier against contamination.
Designed for AD45, AD60, AD80, and AD100 trucks, this safety element is a critical component for maintaining engine longevity and avoiding costly overhauls caused by dust ingestion.
The XCMG Air Filter Safety Element 800167624 is installed inside the primary air filter housing, downstream of the main element.
Its role is to capture any dust that might bypass a damaged, incorrectly seated, or missing primary filter, acting as an emergency barrier.
While the primary filter is changed regularly, the safety element remains in place for longer intervals, providing continuous backup protection.
In mining environments where dust levels are extreme, a torn primary filter can happen unnoticed. The safety element prevents catastrophic engine damage by trapping fines that would otherwise enter the turbocharger and cylinders.
Field data from Western Australia shows that trucks equipped with genuine XCMG 800167624 safety elements experience 90% fewer dust‑related engine failures compared to those without a safety element.
The 800167624 safety element uses a high‑efficiency synthetic microfiber media that captures particles as small as 1 micron with 99.95% efficiency.
Unlike cellulose, synthetic media does not absorb moisture, maintaining low restriction even in humid conditions. It also resists the growth of mold and bacteria.
The media is pleated to maximize surface area while maintaining a low pressure drop. The pleats are bonded to a perforated steel inner liner to prevent collapse under heavy dust loading.
The urethane end cap is molded directly around the media, forming a robust seal that eliminates leakage. The cap is also resistant to engine oil, diesel, and coolant.
Unlike primary filters, safety elements are not meant to be cleaned; they are replaced only when visibly dirty or after several primary changes.
The XCMG safety element 800167624 is a direct replacement for original part numbers 800167624A, 860124602, and 860298776.
It fits all AD‑series articulated trucks with the standard Donaldson or XCMG air cleaner housing that accepts a 325 mm outer diameter safety element.
The element slides into the center cavity of the primary filter and is secured by the housing cover. Correct orientation is critical – the closed end faces the intake outlet.
Always install a new safety element when the primary filter is replaced if the safety element shows any sign of dust loading. A safety element that has captured dust has already done its job and should be discarded.
To replace the safety element, first remove the primary air filter element. Then pull the old safety element out of the housing cavity.
Inspect the inside of the housing for dust or debris. If dust is present, the primary filter may have been leaking or damaged. Clean the housing with a damp cloth.
Insert the new XCMG 800167624 safety element, pushing it fully into place until the urethane end cap seats against the housing seal. Ensure it is not crooked.
Reinstall the primary filter and close the housing cover. Start the engine and check the restriction gauge – a sudden spike in restriction could indicate that the safety element is already loaded (if the primary failed).
Replace the safety element every second primary filter change (1,000–2,000 hours) or immediately if the primary filter is found damaged or missing. Never reuse a safety element – it is not washable.
In high‑dust environments, some operators replace the safety element with every primary change as an extra precaution.
Counterfeit safety elements sold as 800167624 often use cheap cellulose media that clogs quickly or tears easily, providing little protection.
Symptoms include dust residue inside the intake manifold, turbocharger blade erosion, or the restriction gauge showing high vacuum even with a new primary filter.
Genuine XCMG safety elements have a uniform white synthetic media, a laser‑etched part number, and a holographic label on the packaging. The urethane end cap is firm and flexible, not brittle.
Another issue is incorrect outer diameter. Aftermarket safety elements may be too small, allowing unfiltered air to bypass the element. Genuine XCMG elements have a precise 325 mm OD that seals tightly.
Lack of inner liner: Counterfeit elements may lack the perforated steel liner, causing the media to collapse under vacuum. Genuine XCMG elements have a sturdy liner that resists collapse even if the primary filter is severely clogged.
A failed safety element can allow dust to enter the engine, leading to turbocharger failure ($2,500–5,000) and piston ring wear (overhaul $15,000+).
Installing a genuine XCMG 800167624 safety element costs approximately $25. This small expense is the best insurance against catastrophic dust ingestion.
Predictive maintenance: During primary filter changes, always inspect the safety element. If you see any dust discoloration on the outer surface, the primary filter has failed – replace the safety element immediately.
Use a restriction gauge to monitor filter loading. If the gauge shows a sudden drop in restriction after a filter change, the new primary may not be sealing correctly, and the safety element may be the only thing protecting the engine.
Replace the safety element every 2,000 hours or whenever the primary filter is replaced in severe dust conditions. For fleets, keeping a stock of safety elements ensures that a damaged primary never leads to engine damage.
Payback analysis: A genuine safety element costs ~$25. If it prevents one engine overhaul ($15,000), the ROI exceeds 600 times the cost. For a fleet of 20 trucks, this is a no‑brainer investment.
Every XCMG Air Filter Safety Element 800167624 is manufactured in an IATF 16949‑certified facility. Each element undergoes 100% dimensional inspection and leak testing.
Random samples are tested for efficiency (ISO 5011), dust holding capacity, and collapse pressure. XCMG provides a 24‑month warranty against media failure or seal defects.
Global stock is maintained in Xuzhou, Dubai, Rotterdam, Houston, and Singapore. Emergency orders ship within 24 hours.
Bulk packs of 20 safety elements (part number 800167624‑B20) are available for fleet customers at a 20% discount. Each element is individually sealed in a plastic bag with a desiccant.
To verify authenticity, scan the QR code on the packaging – it links to the test certificate showing efficiency, dust capacity, and date of manufacture. Always insist on genuine XCMG 800167624; counterfeit safety elements offer little to no protection and have been known to disintegrate, sending debris into the engine.
XCMG engineers tested the 800167624 safety element under extreme conditions: 500 hours of continuous dust injection directly onto the element (simulating primary filter failure), 10,000 thermal cycles from -40°C to +85°C, and 500 hours of vibration at 25g RMS.
The element maintained 99.9% efficiency throughout the test, and the media showed no tearing or delamination. The urethane end cap remained securely bonded.
For extreme moisture conditions, the synthetic media does not swell or lose efficiency when exposed to water spray. The element is also resistant to engine oil and diesel vapors.
The perforated steel inner liner is zinc‑plated for corrosion resistance, ensuring it will not rust even after years of service. The safety element is designed to be a fit‑and‑forget component, only replaced during scheduled maintenance.
