What is a screw air compressor air filter?

The air intake filter is the first protection for screw air compressors and prevents dirt and dust particles from entering the machine. It protects the screws and bearings and reduces the strain in the air oil separators and oil filters installed downstream.

How many filters does a rotary screw air compressor have?

A rotary screw air compressor contains three filters: the air/oil separator, the oil filter, and the inlet filter. Each of these filters must be inspected regularly to ensure optimal filtration and to prevent the spread of dirt and oily mist throughout the system.

What is an air filter for a compressor?

Our air filters for compressors are manufactured with the highest quality filter media available to provide continued protection for your compressed air system. Air Compressor Inlet Filters are the first line of defense to foreign contaminants which will decrease the life of your compressed air system and compressor oil.

What is a screw air compressor?

As these screw air compressors are generally not equipped with any valves and have no mechanical forces that cause unbalance, these solutions can be extremely efficient for various applications. This is because a screw compressor works at a higher shaft speed and compresses a large volume of air with small exterior dimensions.

What are air compressor inlet filters?

Air Compressor Inlet Filters are the first line of defense to foreign contaminants which will decrease the life of your compressed air system and compressor oil. We guarantee that all of our compressed air filters will fit your compressor, vacuum pump or blower based on the OEM part number.

Where is a compressor air filter located?

Compressor Air filters can be found in two places in your pressured air system: at the air-intake of your air compressor (filtering incoming air) and in the compressed-air piping, between your compressor and your air consumers (filtering compressed air). We're talking about the first type here.
