Particulate Filter, Metal Bowl

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.

The optional 3 micron absolute element is a high efficiency filter element with solid particulate removal in the 90% efficiency 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 as 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
● .40 micron sintered bronze element offers depth filtration. High strength, recleanable
● 6 oz. black coated metal bowl with sight
● Black coated aluminum housing.
● Twist drain
● In-line or modular installation

OPTIONS (Select options from pull down menu below)
Float Drain
An internal float drain rises as condensate accumulates in a filter bowl to activate the drain.
● Internal float drain

Overnight Drain
An overnight drain operates when a compressed air system shuts down. It clears accumulated condensate from a filter bowl when pressure falls to 3 psig or less. It then closes when pressure rises to 6 psi
● Overnight drain for metal bowl (twist to manually drain)

Bowls
● Metal bowl, without sight glass.

Elements
● 5 Micron element.
● 3 Micron absolute element.
