Arrow F3 series particulate filters remove harmful oil/water condensate, pipe scale, dirt and rust from your compressed air system. This prevents corrosive damage to compressed air equipment and finished products. Typically, particulate filters are installed upstream of regulators to prevent valve failure. They are also used as pre-filters to oil removing and coalescing filters to insure high efficiency and long element life in applications such as paint spraying, instrumentation and pharmaceuticals.

Each filter is equipped with a highly efficient baffling system for maximum bulk liquid and dirt particle removal. The Arrow heavy-duty, cleanable porous bronze element removes fine particles. Partical removal can be tailored to specific needs with either the 40 or 5 micron bronze element. An optional 3 micron absolute pleated fiber element is also offered for extra-fine partical removal.

The Arrow 3 micron absolute element is a high efficiency filter element with solid particulate removal in the 90% efficienty range down to .28 microns. The Beta efficiency rating is 99.5%. The element is constructed of pleated cloth fibers and rib supports for strength. Both ends have urethane 50 durometer elastomer seals to insure particulate entrapment. The pleated fiber design gives this element 10 times the surface area of similar nominal rated elements. This increased surface area provides a long element life and the same pressure drop characteristics of our current 40 micron element. When used as a pre-filter to a coalescing filter, it will increase the life of the coalescing element by 4 to 6 times.

Features:

• Water filters (particulate filters) produce clean, dry air at the tool preventing rust and clogging which reduces down time of tools and saves money.
• Conveniently manufactured to save you time.
• Cage protects valves and makes it easy to roll around.
• Ball valves control the number of outlets available
• Pressure relief valve provides protection against excessive pressure build-up
