Description
Cartridges that make the difference
Air quality is essential, where specific air quality requirements depend on the needs of your application and production equipment.
Our highly efficient line filters play a vital role in filtering out impurities such as solid particles, moisture and oil aerosols or vapor. By minimizing pressure drops, we help you achieve your energy saving targets.
How can I keep my air quality at its best?
All our filter cartridges are factory-tested for performance and oil carry-over, and have the longest lifespan since they are genuine products. Their ISO-certified quality has been validated independently by TÜV. As the cartridges come from the same factory as the original ones, they will uphold your initial air purity after each service intervention.
What with air compressor filter cartridges at a lower price?
Cheaper parts are typically made of inferior materials and have a shorter lifetime. Lesser filtration material will also decrease the filter’s efficiency, allowing particles to penetrate into the air net. Cores not made of stainless steel might corrode and collapse during operation.
Even if an alternative cartridge fits, it hasn’t been designed specifically for Atlas Copco and will therefore not be a 100% match. This could cause a higher pressure drop and increased energy consumption. That could results in a higher total lifecycle cost of your compressed air system.
