Product Features
AAF series - Compressed air filters
AAF compressed air filters are designed for the protection of the downstream compressed air system and equipment with lower airflows against defects and other failures. They ensure high efficient removal of solid particles, water, oil aerosols, hydrocarbons, odour and vapours from compressed air systems up to 16 bar. Required compressed air quality according to standard ISO 8573 can be achieved with 5 different grades of filter elements (P, R, M, S and A). Optional internal and external condensate drains should be used for efficient condensate draining from the filter housing.

AAFs series - filter for paint industry
AAFs filters are designed for applications in paint industry. Quantity of substances that could cause impairments in paint wetting applications or cause defects in paint work have been reduced to a minimum. To meet the required compressed air quality appropriate “paint compatible” filter element must be installed into filter housing.
AAF HT series - High temperature filters

To be able to achieve the required compressed air quality, an appropriate filter element (BHT, N25HT, N5HT, XRHT, XMHT, XSHT) must be installed into the filter housing.
P-VAC series - Vacuum pump protection filters
P-VAC filters are designed for protection of vacuum pumps. These filters are optimized for high-efficient removal of solid particles and other contamination from the suction side of vacuum pumps preventing damage to the pump.

Medical vacuum filters are optimized for high efficient removal of bacterial and other contamination (solids and liquids) from the suction side of vacuum pumps preventing damage to the pump and the potential biological infection of the surrounding environment. Removed liquids are collected in a transparent flask which can be removed for sterilisation. The efficiency of the installed filter elements exceeds the 0,005 % penetration specified in HTM 2022 for infectious disease units, when tested in accordance with BS 3928.

Before use, if needed for the application, sterilize the filters.
MSS
Compressed air piping with high temperature and humidity is a suitable environment for microbial growth. In order to stop microbial activity, filters have to be sterilized. Sterilization can be done in place or in the autoclave. To perform autoclave, sterilization filters need to be removed from the system and due to septic conditions in the atmosphere it is difficult to prevent contamination during re-assembly of the installation. Sterilization in place (SIP) ensures much better results and is more common in the process industry. Steam sterilization is an effective method to stop microbial activity. “Mobile Steam Sterilizer” is designed for easier, cheaper and faster SIP. MSS can be easily connected to any part of installation where sterilization is required. After filter sterilization is completed MSS can simply be disconnected and transported to another location.
