Atlas Air Compressor Line Filter 2901200305 for Contaminant Removal

Line Filter Product Overview

What is a Line Filter?

A line filter (or pipeline filter) is a device installed in fluid or gas systems to remove contaminants such as dirt, debris, rust, and particulates, ensuring clean and efficient flow. These filters protect downstream equipment (pumps, valves, nozzles) from damage and improve system reliability in industrial, hydraulic, pneumatic, and process applications.

Types of Line Filters

Applications

✔ Hydraulic Systems – Protects pumps/valves from abrasive wear.
✔ Compressed Air – Removes moisture and particulates.
✔ Water Treatment – Prevents sediment buildup in pipes.
✔ Food & Beverage – Sanitary filters for liquid processing.
✔ Fuel/Oil Lines – Ensures clean combustion in engines.

Selection Guide

1. Filtration Level – Choose mesh size based on contaminant size (e.g., 50µm for general water, 5µm for fine chemicals).

2. Material Compatibility – Stainless steel for corrosive fluids, brass for water/gas.

3. Flow Rate – Match filter size to pipe diameter to avoid pressure loss.

4. Maintenance Needs – Automatic filters for high-contamination systems.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Install before pumps/valves for maximum protection.

• Monitor pressure drop – A sudden increase indicates clogging.

• Clean/replace elements per manufacturer’s schedule.

• For gas systems, include a coalescing filter to remove liquids.

 Warning:

• Never exceed max pressure/temperature ratings.

• Bypass valves recommended for critical systems during maintenance.

Why Use a Line Filter?

 Extends Equipment Life – Prevents damage from abrasive particles.
 Improves Efficiency – Reduces downtime and energy waste.
 Cost-Effective – Cheaper than repairing/replacing clogged components.

Custom Options: High-flow, high-temperature, or ATEX-rated filters available.

For optimal performance, pair with regular system flushing and contamination testing.
