Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the benefits and specifications of a compressed air system designed to reduce energy costs and remove oil and water aerosols. It emphasizes protection against contamination, increased equipment lifespan, and improved operational efficiency.
Key Benefits:
  • Protects products and processes from contamination.
  • Increases the lifespan of pneumatic equipment.
  • Eliminates paint appearance and adhesion problems.
  • Ensures smooth operation of pneumatic instruments.
Low Operating Costs:
  • Low pressure drop of 0.5 to 1 psi, compared to typical filters requiring 3 to 6 psi.
  • Long element life of 8 to 15 years, reducing maintenance needs.
Extra Protection:
  • Captures large slugs of oil and water, protecting downstream equipment.
Standard Features:
  • 5-year equipment warranty and element life guarantee.
  • Heavy-duty ASME stamped pressure vessel.
  • Differential pressure gauge and long-life mist eliminator element.
Installation Flexibility:
  • Twelve inlet positions for adaptable piping arrangements.
  • Flanged inlet connection for easy element access.
Filtration Efficiency:
  • Removes 100% of particles 3 microns and larger, and 99.98% of particles 0.1 micron and larger.
  • Maximum liquid content after filtration is 0.5 ppm w/w.
Optional Features:
  • Automatic condensate drains, including no-loss and timer drains.
  • Differential pressure gauge with reed switch.
Product Specifications:
  • Models range from PME-125-PDI to PME-3000-PDI, with varying flow rates and dimensions.
  • Maximum working pressure is 150 psig, and maximum operating temperature is 150°F.
Advanced Filter Technology:
  • Utilizes a bed of water-resistant glass fibers to capture contaminants through interception, impaction, and diffusion.
  • Coalesced liquids are removed via gravity to a quiet zone at the bottom of the vessel.
Superior Drainage:
  • Optional drain valves ensure efficient condensate removal, preventing air-lock failures.

PME Series - Mist Eliminators-2

Advanced filter bed technology Compressed air enters the rotatable flanged inlet assembly engineered for easy element access. Designed for optimum velocity, the air is directed through a loosely packed bed of highly engineered, water resistant glass fibers. Water droplets, oil aerosols and solid particles entrained in the air stream are captured by the fibers through the mechanics of direct interception, inertial impaction, and diffusion that result from the forces of Brownian motion. The captured liquids and aerosols move along the fibers and coalesce into larger droplets. Gravity draws the...
