Compressed air filters

Line Filters

Line filters are essential components in compressed air systems, designed to remove contaminants such as dirt, oil, moisture, and particulates. These impurities can cause damage to downstream equipment, reduce efficiency, and compromise product quality. By using high-quality line filters, businesses can ensure clean, dry, and reliable compressed air for their operations.

How do line filters work?

Line filters operate by capturing contaminants as compressed air flows through them. There are different types of line filters suited for various applications:
 

Threaded filters
Commonly used in small to medium-sized systems, these filters have threaded connections for easy installation and provide effective particle and moisture removal.

Flanged filters
Designed for larger air systems, these heavy-duty filters offer high flow rates and secure connections for industrial applications.

Activated carbon filters
Used for removing oil vapors, odors, and hydrocarbons, these filters ensure ultra-clean air, ideal for sensitive industries like food and pharmaceuticals.

High-pressure filters
Built to withstand extreme pressures, these filters provide reliable air purification in demanding environments such as aerospace and high-performance manufacturing.

How to choose the right line filter?

Selecting the right line filter for your compressed air system depends on several key factors, including the type of contaminants present, required air purity levels, and system specifications. Start by identifying the primary pollutants in your air supply—particulates, moisture, oil aerosols, or vapors—and choose a filter designed to remove them. For general protection, particulate and coalescing filters are ideal, while activated carbon filters are necessary for eliminating oil vapors and odors.

Consider the filtration rating (measured in microns) based on your industry’s air quality requirements, such as ISO 8573-1 standards. Additionally, check your system’s flow rate and pressure requirements to ensure the filter can handle the necessary capacity without causing pressure drops. For high-pressure applications, opt for specialized high-pressure filters designed to withstand extreme operating conditions. By matching the right filter to your specific needs, you can improve air quality, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Line filters maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial to keep line filters functioning optimally. Filters should be inspected periodically for clogging and pressure drop, as excessive buildup of contaminants can reduce airflow efficiency. Most filters have indicator gauges that signal when replacement is necessary. Depending on usage and air quality, filter elements should be replaced every 3 to 12 months to maintain peak performance and protect downstream equipment.
