High Efficency , Compressed Air Filters
Modern manufacturing industries require the cleanest, most reliable compressed air supply available. Compromising your compressed air supply can result in a reduction in product quality, affect site safety and can even result in a production line coming to a halt. A small investment in the VIP range of compressed.
Filtration Principles:
- Direct interception (removal of coarse particles on the outside of the filtration surface)
- Inertial impaction (removal pf particles thanks to the tortuous path formed by the microfibres).
- Diffusion (fine particles adhere to the microfibres thanks to “Brownian motion”).
How it Works:
The ARS range of filter elements in our AIR VIP series are constructed using multiple filter layers, each layer having a specific function. The contaminated air (traveling through the cartridge from the inside to out) first passes a pre-filtration layer of resin impregnated cellulose fibres, where particles greater then 5 m retained. The use of resin guarantees high strength of the filter material, even in the presence of water.
The air then passes through the second filtration layer, which consists of borosilicate microfibres. This allows the capture pf particles with sizes down to 0.01 micron and the formation of condensate droplets, which are conveyed to the outer coalescing layers of the cartridge. This outer barrier collects the droplets of water and oil, allowing them to run down to the bottom of the cartridge and into the filter bowl of the housing assembly. Although the compressed air element allow liquids to pass through, the retained solids eventually result in them becoming blocked.
The pleated construction of our ARS range of filters elements provides a very high surface area for the retention of the solids particles (± 4-5 times when compared to conventional rolled filter of most manufacturers); the result is an exceptionally long life & very low pressure drop for the element.
