A look into compressed air filter

Industrial filters are widely being used and applied in different areas in manufacturing and machineries today. One of the most well known and most important is its application in compressed air filtration. Compressed air filter is widely being use in removing solid contaminants on liquids like water and oil. Selecting the most reliable filter is a must.

The proper selection and use of compressed air filter will let you avoid a lot of short and long term issues with your compressed air equipment and even the whole system itself and save you considerably in equipment failure hassle and component replacement budget. It may even extend the life expectancy of the system itself; this only means more profit and fewer headaches.

Any change in pressure like an increase in a pressure drop is indication that the filter element is working properly entrapping contaminants and preventing it from entering the compressed air current. Sometimes a decrease on the pressure drop will be noticed, don’t panic this only means that the filter element could be dirty and it needs to be checked and cleaned before it clogs the system.

Clogged compressed air filter element will cause a short on air supply because it’s chocking the air supply. The system is experiencing a decrease on the pressure drop. These symptoms will cause your air tool or application not to get enough air and air pressure. Just check the element, if it’s a metal element chances are it is a cleanable filter, if not you might need to replace it.
