FSX Air Filter-4

It’s used for a wide variety of needs as a safe, reliable power source. Unlike gas, water and electricity, compressed air is generated on site so the user takes on the serious responsibility for air quality and operational cost. Untreated compressed air is the major contributor to poor operational performance and health and safety issues. Therefore, companies must recognize and respond to increasingly critical needs for best in class compressed air purification. Air Contaminants Most compressed air systems are susceptible to • solid particulates like atmospheric dust, micro-organisms, rust &...

Overview Best in class air filters look like this Surface Protection The high-grade, cast aluminum filter housings (XL and XM series), are finished with an impact and abrasion-proof powder coating on the outer side. High pressure carbon steel housings (XH series) are manufactured by means of iron phosphate passivation and have either a nickel-coated or a nitriding finish. This multi-layer surface protection ensures high resistance and a long service life. Conformity with International Standards The X Series has been performance-validated according to ISO 8573 quality standards and test methods...

Filter Media Designed For Compressed Air High quality compressed air filtration starts with selecting the correct filter media. Xebec uses superior-quality filter media with a new, hybrid technology. Our elements stop the perpetual discussion about the use of filter media with or without binders because they are layered with both types, tailored to the filtration task. This neutralizes the inherent disadvantages and, as a result, retains the advantages of both types. The fine filter media is protected on both sides using a supporting fabric to increase both the stability and reliability. Pleated...

Water Separation Large, “heavy”, slow amounts of liquid from a compressed air flow are separated by means of gravitational forces, centrifugal forces, inertial effects, etc. The differential pressure is constant and a high separation efficiency is guaranteed over the whole specified flow rate range. Dry Type Filtration Solid contaminants are separated from the compressed air system. The solids contact the fibers of the filter media where they remain. A coarse and a fine coarse media filter protect the fine filter media, increasing the service life. The differential pressure (dry) increases with...
