Atlas Copco introduces next generation of compressed air filters
New filtration solutions from Atlas Copco are set to revolutionise compressed air production systems. Featuring inPASS™ technology, Atlas Copco’s air filters significantly simplify maintenance and reduce costs whilst delivering top in-class performance and reliability.
Filtration is a crucial component of a compressed air system. If left untreated, compressed air can be contaminated with substances such as dirt, water, and oil, which can compromise compressed air powered tools, production processes and final products. That is why Atlas Copco offers a complete range of filters that remove even the smallest contaminants – from dust to water and oil vapours.
Until now, servicing a filter involved shutting down the entire compressed air system or installing 3-valve bypasses around every filter. Atlas Copco’s inPASS™ re-directs the air through the filter head during maintenance, allowing for safe filter cartridge replacement without interruption of the air flow. This means there is no need to install extra piping around the filters or to halt production for maintenance. As a result, the inPASS™ saves customers both installation and operational costs by allowing quick, seamless service.
Atlas Copco’s new filters also come with a user-friendly service indicator which displays running hours, differential pressure, and maintenance status. This allows users to maximise the lifespan of their filters and to plan the best time for maintenance. There is also a malfunction alert on the filter head that can be connected to a remote monitoring device.
