Oil Remover Filter, 1/4″ NPT (Up to 24 SCFM)

Description of Oil Remover Filter, 1/4″ NPT (Up to 24 SCFM)

The Oil Removal Filter, 1/4″ NPT (Up to 24 SCFM) is a high-efficiency filtration device engineered to remove oil aerosols, mists, and fine particulates from compressed air systems. Designed for precision performance in demanding industrial environments, this filter ensures clean, dry, and contaminant-free air that protects sensitive equipment, enhances process efficiency, and improves overall system reliability. With its compact 1/4-inch NPT connection and capacity of up to 24 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), it is ideally suited for light-to-medium duty pneumatic applications.

Compressed air often contains oil vapors, water condensates, and microscopic impurities that can cause damage to downstream equipment such as valves, actuators, instruments, and air tools. By integrating this oil removal filter into your air preparation system, you extend the life of your equipment, reduce downtime, and maintain compliance with air quality standards required in industries like electronics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and precision manufacturing.

Technical Features

  • Connection Size: 1/4″ NPT (National Pipe Thread), compatible with standard compressed air lines.

  • Flow Capacity: Up to 24 SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute) at rated pressure.

  • Filtration Efficiency: Removes up to 99.97% of oil aerosols and fine particulates as small as 0.01 micron.

  • Element Material: High-performance coalescing filter element with long service life.

  • Drain Type: Options for manual or automatic drain to discharge collected oil and condensate efficiently.

  • Housing Construction: Durable aluminum or zinc body with corrosion-resistant coating, designed for longevity.

  • Bowl Material: Transparent polycarbonate or metal with sight glass, allowing visual monitoring of collected oil.

  • Operating Pressure: Typically rated up to 150 psi (10 bar).

  • Operating Temperature Range: -10 °C to +50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F), depending on bowl material.

Key Benefits

  1. Superior Filtration: Captures fine oil mists and contaminants that standard filters cannot, ensuring high-quality compressed air.

  2. Extended Equipment Life: Protects pneumatic devices, reducing wear and minimizing costly downtime.

  3. Compact Design: The 1/4″ NPT size with a 24 SCFM capacity makes it perfect for smaller systems or point-of-use filtration.

  4. Versatile Drain Options: Available with either manual or automatic drain configurations to suit specific maintenance preferences.

  5. Visual Monitoring: Clear or sight-glass bowls allow operators to quickly identify when servicing or draining is required.

  6. Compliance-Ready: Helps facilities meet stringent air purity standards (ISO 8573-1 Class 1 for oil content when combined with proper system design).

Applications

The Oil Removal Filter, 1/4″ NPT (Up to 24 SCFM) is essential across a variety of sectors and systems:

  • Industrial Manufacturing: Protects pneumatic tools, cylinders, and valves from oil contamination.

  • Food & Beverage Industry: Ensures oil-free compressed air in sensitive production environments.
