Superior filtration

Proper filtration is necessary to ensure consistent air quality, but with it comes pressure drop. Every 2 psi of pressure drop increases power costs by approximately 1%. Kaeser® filters remove more contaminants with less pressure drop for lower operating costs. With a complete selection of application-specific filter types, sizes, technical service, and support, Kaeser® offers a customized solution for all of your compressed air quality needs.

Why Treat Compressed Air

Why Treat Compressed Air

N/A Ambient air contains contaminants that are drawn into the compressor. These contaminants are concentrated during compression and can easily pass into the compressed air system. A typical compressed air system is contaminated with abrasive solid particles such as dirt, rust and pipe scale, compressor lubricants, condensed water droplets, and oil and hydrocarbon vapors.

Contaminated compressed air systems increase operating costs by reducing efficiency. This results in damaged pneumatic equipment, higher maintenance and repair costs, reduced production (due to downtime), and increased product rejections.

Meeting Your Air Quality Requirements

Meeting Your Air Quality Requirements

N/A Properly sized and selected Kaeser® filters in conjunction with the appropriate dryer will remove harmful contaminants. This allows the compressed air system to deliver the quality of air required - whether it's plant, instrument, or breathing air.

High Performance Filters and Separators

High Performance Filters and Separators

N/A Engineered and developed using the latest innovations and manufacturing techniques, Kaeser® filter housings are designed with larger flow areas to ensure the lowest pressure drop and provide easier installation, operation, and maintenance. The result is consistent product quality with minimized operating costs.

Key Features

Key Features

N/A Deep Pleated Filter Elements
Kaeser®'s KB, KD, and KE dust and coalescing filter elements feature deep pleated filter elements wrapped in stainless steel cages. The extra large surface area ensures superior filtration, increased efficiency, and reduced pressure drop.

High Efficiency Carbon Matting
Unlike the granular material used in many other filters, Kaeser®'s KA filters use carbon impregnated matting to prevent channeling while also reducing pressure drop. This highly absorptive matting is also effective at preventing particles from escaping.

Minimized Pressure Losses
The generously-sized connection flanges help keep pressure losses to an absolute minimum. Additionally, all particulate and coalescing filters (KB, KD, KE) come standard with a differential pressure gauge to check filter efficiency at a glance.

Installation Flexibility
The optional Eco-Drain can rotate 360º to fit any installation requirement. Drain access is never a problem even when installed in tight corners or against a wall.

Silicone-Free Certification

Silicone-Free Certification

N/A Silicone-free versions of Kaeser® filters are also available as an option. These filters are compliant with test standard PV-VW 3.10.7 and each one undergoes an individual coating test to confirm compliance. The supplied manufacturer's certificate attests that the product is silicone-free

Proper Filter Sizing

Proper Filter Sizing

N/A To find the maximum flow for a filter size at pressures other than 100 psig, multiply the rated flow by the Correction Factor corresponding to the minimum pressure at the inlet of the filter. Do not select filters by pipe size. Use flow rate and operating pressure.
