New Filter Technology

New Filter Housing

The latest compressed air filter technology utilizes pleated fabric media,
made up of woven microfibers. The
fibers are specially treated to repel (not
absorb) compressor oil & condensate,
while providing an extremely high
voids volume. The combination of
pleating, fiber treatment and voids volume permits high airflow, while maintaining filtration efficiency, at a very
low pressure-drop. This compares very
favorably against wrap design filters, which typically offer deeper filtration, but dramatically lower face area,
resulting in higher pressure-drop and
more frequent changes. The Motivair
inner & outer screens are stainless
steel, with a large open area, designed
to withstand maximum pressure differential, while maintaining a low pressure-drop for normal flow. The media
& screens are epoxy-sealed into the
end-caps, which are either precision
injection moldings or high-grade
machined aluminum on larger sizes.
The outer sock is a highly effective
anti re-intrainment barrier, and is
compatible with both mineral & synthetic oils. The entire element is
secured, into the filter head with an oilresistant o-ring to ensure zero air/oil
by-pass. All 4 grades of elements feature inside-to-out airflow and Motivair
elements are certified silicone-free.

The new AF aluminum housings were

designed for improved performance,
with aerodynamic compressed airflow between inlet & outlet ports.
Made from high-grade, precision
die-cast aluminum, the housings
have an improved, twist-lock design,
with a safetly whistle, should an
operator attempt to open the filter
under pressure. The new casting
design, plus a resilient, powder coat
finish provides an extremely attractive housing. The head features a
special, tapered bayonet port, which
allows the element to be simply
pushed into place, for a perfect seal
via the recessed o-ring. Integral supports in the inner wall of the housing
locks the element into place. There is
no fumbling with nuts or threaded
rod assemblies, and no possibility of
an element becoming loose in operation. The new design reduces the
clearance required for element
replacement. Only a few inches are
required beneath the filter, for quick
& easy change-out.
Larger housings (from BF150 to
BF900) are fabricated in carbon
steel, with an epoxy inner coating
and an enamel outer finish. Models
BF360-BF900 may be pipeline or
floor mounted. All fabricated models
are ASME stamped.

Options & Accessories

Several high quality options &

accessories allow a Motivair filter
installation to meet any customers
needs.
1) Wall-mounting brackets
2) Manifold kits allow for 2 or 3
filters to be installed in series
3) Cast aluminium, calibrated
differential gauge
4) Sight-glass allows visual
inspection of oil-level or trap
operation
