COMPRESSED AIR FILTERS
Compressed air is a valuable source of power. It is safe, flexible and used in all areas of industry. Like any other energy source it benefits from being clean and free from impurities.
Pollutants often seen in compressed air are:
- Lubricating oil carry over from air compressors;
- Atmospheric corrosive gases inhaled by the air compressor;
- Aerosols and vapours;
- Solid particles and rust from air main and receiver;
- Solid particles drawn in by the air compressor.

Application example |
P SERIES - 3 MICRONS |
Filter capable to separate emulsion and particles down to 3 micron. |
Normally installed on the inlet of dryers. Ideal as pre-filter for on-line filters (series S – X – Z), and for vacuum pumps, pneumatic blowing plants. |
SERIE S SERIES - 1 MICRONS |
Filter capable to separate particles down to 1 micron, liquid an oil included. Maximum contents of residual oil 0,1 mg/m3. |
Normally used on outlet of dryers as (X) grade pre-filter. Used to prevent the deterioration of the pipes of compressed air plants, for surface treatment, on vacuum pump exhaust, on compressed air motors, and as post-filter for adsorption dryers. |
X SERIES - 0.01 MICRONS |
Oil removing filter capable to separate residual oil and extremely small particles down to 0,01 micron. Maximum contents of residual oil 0,01 mg/m3. It produces air technically free from oil. |
Used for the protection of control system, pneumatics haulage, painting system and as pre-filter for adsorption dryers. |
Z SERIES - ACTIVATED CARBON |
Activated carbon filter for the elimination of oil vapours and odour. When installed, after a (X) grade filter, it lowers the maximum contents of residual oil 0,003 mg/m3. |
Used in the pharmaceutical industry, for dental applications, in photographic workshops, packaging and galvanic treatments. |
