Filters and separators for air compressors

A compressor filter is a design element responsible for protecting the unit from contamination. Each compressor unit has several filters for different purposes, which play a key role in maintaining its stable and trouble-free operation and supply high-quality compressed air to pneumatic tools and equipment. The Stancomplect online store offers original filters for AirHorse compressors of any model directly from the manufacturer for sale.

Compressor filters and separators: main types and purposes

The compressor design includes several types of filter elements:

1. An air filter installed at the point of air intake from the environment and designed to trap dust and other impurities. This is a mandatory design element of oil and oil-free compressor equipment. By preventing solid particles contained in the air from entering the unit, the air filter increases the service life of the compressor by reducing the degree of wear of parts. In addition, it cleans the compressed air formed at the outlet from blockages, which is important for its use in the food, medical and pharmaceutical industries.
2. Oil filter – it is installed in compressors that use lubrication of parts and is designed to clean oil from dust, dirt, carbon deposits, metal shavings, scale and condensate. The oil filter protects compressor units, contacting and rubbing parts from mechanical damage and wear.
3. Air compressor separator is a necessary element for oil-type compressors. It serves to separate compressor oil from compressed air and removes solid particles and moisture from it. This filter is the final link in the compressor cleaning system and produces maximally purified compressed air with an oil impurity content of no more than 2-3 mg/m³.

Compressor filters not only protect its parts from wear and tear and improve the quality of compressed air supplied to the consumer, but also ensure the required performance of compressor equipment.

Features of choosing filters for a compressor

During operation of the compressor, its filters must be regularly cleaned from clogging, and also periodically replaced. When choosing a filter element, it is necessary to take into account that each compressor is a complex unit, all elements of which are placed tightly to each other and ideally adjusted in size. Each compressor model has a unique filter system, and it can use filter elements of different types for different purposes, having strictly individual characteristics:

• filtration degree – it is set during design and provides the required level of air and oil purification, and the compressor capacity;
• dimensions – they determine whether the filter will fit into the compressor housing;
• shape – it ensures reliable positioning and fastening of the filter in the compressor housing seat.

To buy a suitable filter for a compressor, you need to focus on the type, brand and model of compressor equipment, and it is best to purchase original spare parts and consumables for replacement, which will ensure the normal functioning of the unit.

Recommendations for the care of compressor filters

To ensure efficient operation of the compressor and to extend its service life, it is important to ensure proper maintenance of the filters:

1. Replace them regularly at the intervals specified in the compressor equipment operating manual.
2. Periodically check the condition of the filters when operating the compressor in an aggressive environment. In this case, replacement of the filter element may be required earlier than the period specified by the manufacturer.
3. If the compressor's performance decreases, clean the filters from contamination if the material of manufacture allows for restoration work, or replace them with new ones.
