Core Importance of Filter Elements in Air Compressor

Filter elements are a vital part of the air compressor system. It helps to supply pure compressor air, supply enough power, reduce downtime and guarantee the normal operation of the whole equipment. You can browse the following information and know more about the air compressor filter element.

Why we need air compressor filter elements?

In the compressor air system, hard particles assault equipment and piping. This will generate more particles (scale, metal oxides and dirt). these particles may plug orifices of sensitive pneumatic instrumentation, wear out seals, erode system components, decrease air tool efficiency and even damage finished products.

Air compressor filter element can maximally reduce and eliminate solid particles, oil and liquid in compressor air and guarantee the continuous supply of pure and high quality compressor air.

What types of air compressor filter element?

The air compressor filter mainly include air filter element, oil/gas separator filter element and oil filter elements.

Air filter element. It is installed at the intake of air compressor and are used to filter particles in the gas and protect screw rotor from abrasion and prevent blocking of oil filter and oil and gas separator filter.
Oil filter. It is used to eliminate the particles, impurities,carbon deposition metal filings in the lube oil and guarantee the normal operation of air compressor.
Oil and gas separator. It can eliminate the tiny oils entrained in the compressor air, purify compressor air and improve compressor air quality.

Different types of air compressor filter elements including oil, air and oil and gas separator filter elements.

Where air compressor filter elements are used?

The air compressor filter elements can be used in both double screw rod air compressor and reciprocating compressor.

And they are widely used in various fields, such as:

Metal surface treatment (polish and sand blasting)
Seawater desalination
Waste water treatment
Conveying system in food and drinking industries
Coal mine exploring
Natural gas and petroleum exploring
Hardware industry
Laser cutting
Agriculture
