The Importance of Compressed Air Filters

Compressed air is ubiquitous when it comes to industrial processes, but it can also carry harmful substances. These can damage equipment, lower the end-product quality, and cause expensive downtime. Air compressor filters are special devices that clean out unwanted particles like dust, dirt, oil, and moisture from compressed air. Here's why these filters are essential in any compressed air setup:

  • Equipment Protection: Filters keep contamination from harming the main compressor unit, pneumatic tools, and other machinery connected to the system. Without good filtration, particles and moisture can lead to wear and early breakdowns.
  • Product Quality: Especially in sectors like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, clean compressed air is critical. Filters stop pollutants from spoiling the safety and quality of end products.
  • Energy Efficiency: Dirty compressed air can make your compressed air systems less efficient, using more energy. Clean air helps everything run smoothly and at peak performance, meaning tangible energy cost reductions.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs: Compressed air filters take out the dirt, which means less cleaning and fixing of equipment. This cuts down on maintenance expenses.
  • Compliance and Safety: Many industries have strict air quality rules. Using the right filters ensures a business meets these standards, avoids fines, and keeps a safe workspace for its workers.

Choosing the Right Compressed Air Filter

Selecting the right compressed air filter is key to keeping your compressed air system in good shape for longer. There's a range of filter types and grades, and while it might seem tricky to choose, here's a simple guide to find the right filter for your needs.

 

Different filter grades target different impurities:

  • Coalescing Filters (Grades HF and UF): These are vital for getting rid of oil mists and water drops. They work by making small droplets come together to form bigger ones, which are then easily removed from the airflow.
  • Vapor Removal Filters (Grade CF): These filters are used to take out oil vapors and smells. They're necessary when you need the cleanest air possible, like in food making or drug production.
  • Bulk Liquid Separators (Grade SF): These are good for getting out lots of condensed water and oil, as well as big dust particles. They're often used first, before other filters, to prep the air.

 

The type of filter you need depends on how pure you need your air to be. Hankison has a range of filter grades to match the needs of your system:

  • Grade SF: Great for pulling out lots of liquids and bigger bits. It's really useful in places where there's a lot of moisture from compressors.
  • Grade HF: For getting rid of oil mist, this high-efficiency filter does the job where oil is in the air.
  • Grade UF: For the most critical jobs, this filter provides ultra-high efficiency in removing oil to ensure extremely pure air.
  • Grade CF: This one takes out oil vapors and smells, giving you the cleanest air for the most delicate processes.

When picking out a compressed air filter, think about these points:

  • Air Quality Needs: Decide how pure the air must be for what you're doing. Jobs that need a lot of care will need better filters.
  • Flow and Pressure: Your filter should cope with the amount of air your system moves without causing big pressure drops, as this can make things less efficient and cost more to run.
  • Surroundings: Think about the area around the system, like the heat and dampness, which can change how well the filter works.
  • Fits with Your System: The filter should fit into your current setup easily without needing big changes.
  • Upkeep and Lifespan: Look at how easy it is to keep the filter working and how long it's expected to last, so it fits with how you run things and your budget.
