KAESER Compressed air lters

Why use compressed air lters?
On average, a compressor sucks in up to 190 million particles of dirt, hydrocarbons, viruses and bacteria with every cubic meter of atmospheric air. The compressor itself can only remove the larger dirt particles and the majority of the contaminants remain in the compressed air. This means that for most applications careful treatment of the air is necessary: Clean, quality compressed air maximises air-tool service life, ensures that pneumatic machinery and control systems operate at the peak of their performance and keeps pipes & valves free from contaminants. It therefore not only reduces service, maintenance and repair costs, but can also reduce initial investment costs.

Air lters
Kaeser's extensive range of lters ensures that there's a model available to suit every compressed air need. Water, oil and dust are removed efciently and with minimal differential pressure.

Dependable and ecient

Tailored compressed air treatment
All Kaeser lters and compressed air treatment components are specically designed for use in combination with one another. Compressed air of every quality class is available ranging from general works air right up to foodstuff and pharmaceutical grade air. KAESER compressed air lters are also available for high-pressure applications up to 62 bar(g).

Sterile lter

Centrifugal separator
For removal of liquid condensate. Typically used downstream from the compressor. Results in near 100 % relative humidity, which is ideal for further drying systems.

Filters up to 48 or 62 bar
We also have an extensive range of lters available for high-pressure applications, such as PET container production. Suited for use with pressures of up to 48 or 62 bar, these high-quality lters remove oil, water and dust.

KAESER lters ensure a dependable and cost-eective source of quality compressed air
Compressed air lters from KAESER KOMPRESSOREN are ideally suited for use with our compressors and compressed air drying systems. This ensures dependable compressed air treatment and exceptional eciency.

Kaeser compressed air systems provide the required grade of compressed air quality to suit every compressed air application. This includes technically oilfree compressed air, which is many times cleaner than normal ambient air. All systems and equipment are tested and certied by the German Technical Inspection Institute (TV).

Centrifugal separator
Function:
The centrifugal separator removes large volumes of condensate from the compressed air. Optimised design enhances the centrifuge effect and ensures a near constant degree of condensate separation over a wide ow volume range. Furthermore, particles up to 5 m are also "washed out".

Sterile lter
For sterile air:
The FST sterile lter is made of high quality 1.4301 (304) stainless steel that prevents bacterial growth and corrosion. The upper and lower housings are tted with BSP screw connections and plugs. All lter elements are subjected to multiple testing in the factory to ensure unrivalled reliability. All components comply with FDA regulations concerning contact with foodstuffs as per CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Title 21. The pre-lter and micro-bre web are made from of borosilicate. Retention of bacteria and particles occurs throughout the whole lter volume. On average, over 100 sterilisation cycles are possible with saturated steam at 141 C. Max. operating temperature -20 to +200 C.

Application:
A cyclonic separator is recommended for systems where the refrigeration dryer is installed directly downstream from the rotary screw compressor.

The centrifugal separator is installed between the compressor and the refrigeration dryer and removes the liquid condensate from the compressed air. This provides the refrigeration dryer with additional reserve drying capacity. This is particularly important at high ambient temperatures in order to ensure that the required dew point is consistently maintained.

Typical uses for FST sterile lters:

KAESER centrifugal separators are maintenance-free.

Food and chemical industries Packaging applications Pharmaceuticals, medical technology, hospitals

Tip:
Each centrifugal separator should be tted with an electronic ECO Drain condensate drain (available as a complete set with all necessary components).
Centrifugal separator ZK 061 to ZK 10

Tip:
The use of a sterile lter requires appropriate sterilisation measures to be taken (e.g. in-line sterilisation or autoclave). These measures should be carried out at regular intervals.

KAESER lters Options and accessories

The lter monitor
Indicates when lter change is required. Indicates lter changes based on prescribed operational parameters

Filter monitor box

The Filter Monitor Box allows remote lter monitoring. It evaluates the signals from a lter monitor, as well as from an ECO Drain condensate drain, and can pass messages to a central maintenance control system via two alarm contacts.

Wall Bracket
Simple installation: Remove differential pressure indicator, remove xing screws Screw the bracket to the wall Screw the lter housing to the bracket Re-install the differential pressure indicator

Certied Compressed Air Quality

The oil and solid particle content is reliably kept below ISO 8573-1 Class 1 limits. After passing through the air treatment systems, the delivered compressed air is designated as technically oil-free. The quality of the air produced by the KAESER compressed air system is tested and certied by TV, the German Technical Inspection Authority.

Genuine KAESER replacement lter elements

Only genuine KAESER replacement lter elements ensure reliable ltration with minimal pressure losses. Coalescence lter with new, matrix lter-bre structure High efciency even at low air volumes of only ve percent of nominal ow Reliable element to housing seal Element supported by oil and acid resistant stainless steel orice tubes and end caps KAESER replacement lter elements are also available for other housings.

Comprehensive design know-how

KESS (KAESERs Energy Saving Service) provides comprehensive analysis of your compressed air usage, enabling KAESERs experts to plan and design a system that is specially tailored to meet all of your compressed air needs. Typically ensuring a 95-98% load capacity, KAESER compressed air systems provide exceptional efciency and produce application-specic quality compressed air at lowest possible cost. Use this expertise to your advantage and let KAESER design your compressed air system.

A pressure loss of only approx. 0.35 bar is signicantly more expensive than the costs required to change the lter element. Timely lter changes save considerable operating costs.

The specially designed housing allows various lters to be combined together in series without the need for additional piping.

Timely lter changes signicantly reduce energy costs

Operational parameters: 6000 operating hours/year - 0.06 /kWh - 1 bar = 8 % more energy 2500

Note: Please also consider KAESER Air Main Charging Systems (See brochure P773), as these also help to ensure consistent compressed air quality.
