Filters & Centrifugal Separators - KAESER Australia

1 Filters & Centrifugal Separators Flow rates to 248 m /min Why use compressed air Filters ? On average, a compressor sucks in up to 190 million particles of dirt, KAESER compressed Air Filters hydrocarbons, viruses and bacteria with every cubic meter of atmos- pheric air. The compressor itself can only remove the larger particles and the majority of the contaminants remain in the compressed air. This means that for most applications careful treatment of the air is neces- sary: Clean, quality compressed air maximises air-tool service life, Dependable and efficient compressed air ensures that pneumatic machinery and control systems operate at the Filters peak of their performance and keeps pipes & valves free from contami- nation. It therefore not only reduces service, maintenance and repair KAESER 's extensive range of costs, but can also reduce initial investment costs. Filters ensures that there's a model available to suit every compressed air need.

This ensures dependable compressed air treatment and excep- tional efficiency. Centrifugal separator For removal of liquid conden- sate. Typically used downstream from the compressor. Results in near 100% relative humidity, which is ideal for further drying systems. Centrifugal separator 1 2. High-pressure Filters Filters up to 48 or 62 bar 3 We also have an extensive range of Filters available 4 for high-pressure applica- compressed air Filters tions, such as PET container production. Suited for use with pressures of up to 48 or 62 bar, these high-quality Filters remove oil, water and dust.

Easy filter element removal with KAESER 's O-ring seal system Minimal pressure drop due to optimised air flow The high capacity filter ensures exceptional compressed air quality The conical bowl and turbulence-free lower filter zone prevent condensate from being carried along in accordance with the most stringent requirements, for the pharmaceutical, electronics and foodstuff industries. Preferably use with the air flow only with condensate-free compressed air.

This provides the refrigeration dryer with additional reserve Special electronic condensate drying capacity. This is particularly important at high drain (optional) ambient temperatures in order to ensure that the required dew point is consistently maintained.
