Trident Pneumatics present cleansweep Microfilters

Trident Pneumatics has designed Cleansweep Microfilters with a unique design featuring a knock-off type element. This makes Cleansweep filters stand apart from filters produced by other manufacturers, which need to be installed with a significant bottom clearance. This translates to convenience and economy of space for you. You can provide Cleansweep Microfilters with even a very low clearance at the bottom.

Highlights

l Very low installation clearance - install anywhere

l Oil removal (coalescing)

l Flow from 100 m3/hour to 1810 m3/hour

l Particle removal 0.01 μm

l Maximum oil carryover 0.003 mg/m3

Cleansweep Microfilters are compressed air

filtration devices manufactured for industrial use

and supported by Trident Pneumatics.

Contaminants regularly found in air lines include

dust, oil, rust and liquid water. Cleansweep

Microfilters remove all these contaminants, thereby

ensuring that the products made by you and the

services offered by you are not adversely affected

by them.

How Cleansweep Microfilters Work

Within the housing of each Cleansweep Microfilter is a filter element. This element has a specially designed multi-layered structure. Compressed air from your supply passes through the various layers sequentially, moving outwards from the centre of the element. Typically, air from an industrial compressor contains oil, condensed water and solid particles such as rust. As the air passes through a Cleansweep filter

element, the contaminants are removed through three mechanisms:

Interception

Larger contaminant particles, of size around 10 microns or more, are blocked by a fine-pore medium.

Diffusion

Finer (sub-micron) particles that are carried further into the filter element are enmeshed in fibres. The fibres are made of borosilicate. The trapping action is a result of the labyrinthine pathways through the fibrous medium.

Coalescence

Water and oil particles adhere initially to fibres on impinging on them. They merge to form droplets and are held in the fibrous medium by surface tension.

The contaminant particles are trapped both at the inner surface of the filter element and within the medium. The liquid drops that coalesce in the element flow down, accumulating at the bottom of the housing. A drain valve is provided to discharge the liquids. Clean, contaminant-free air flows out of the Cleansweep Microfilter to your application.

Cleansweep Microfilters are ideal for providing compressed air for a very wide range of applications.
