Compressed air filter facilitates point-of-use filtration

The 5-micron compressed air filter from Walmec North America provides point-of-use filtration of liquids, oils, and other contaminants. The two-stage filter is available with flows from 15 to 250 SCFM and pressure ratings of up to 250 PSI. It is suitable for applications including surface preparation, paint spraying, powder coating, air-powered tools, and pneumatically operated equipment.

The first-stage filter knocks out liquids and particles of dirt, dust, rust, and scale. The second-stage filter removes remaining moisture, contaminants, and particles down to 5 microns. An automatic float drain under the second-stage filter opens and expels all collected liquids when an ounce or more is present. It is fully automatic with no continuous air loss.

The permanently mounted differential pressure gauge provides a visual indication of required maintenance.
