Compressed air precision filter is a safe and reliable power source widely used in modern industrial activities; unlike gas, water and electricity, compressed air is truly safe and efficient only under dry and clean conditions. There are various contaminants in the air. Contaminants in the compressed air stream contain mainly water, oil, dust, microorganisms, etc. These contaminants can cause product defects and increase product downtime and maintenance costs. For example, in the automotive painting process, very small contaminants in the air can cause dents in the paint. Moisture left in the air will condense when the temperature drops, which can block airflow or even cause a pipe to rupture. If oil and water are not effectively removed from the air, they can form an acidic sludge that can cause compressed air components to have reduced life, require repair or early replacement. Most problems encountered by compressed air users are caused by contaminants in the compressed air system.

There are 10 main types of contaminants commonly found in compressed air systems: 1. atmospheric dust 2. rust 3. pipe spalling 4. water vapor 5. condensate 6. water mist (aerosol) 7. liquid oil 8. oil mist (aerosol) 9. oil vapor 10. microorganisms These contaminants need to be removed or reduced to an acceptable level before compressed air can be used effectively. Compressed air is an expensive source of energy used in production and must be filtered to reduce maintenance costs, downtime, and improve product qualification rates.
