1649800221 Air Filter Element Intake Filter Cartridge For Rotary Screw Air Compressor

Product Introduction

First barrier between ambient air and the airend. 1649800221 is an intake air filter element for oil-injected rotary screw compressors, built to trap dust, fibers, and airborne grit before they reach rotors, bearings, and lubricant. Deep-pleat media holds high dust capacity while keeping intake restriction low, so the compressor keeps FAD without pulling harder than necessary. Clogged or bypassing media lets abrasive particles into the oil circuit, raises power draw, and shortens separator and bearing life. Change on the service-hour schedule or at the restriction alarm, sooner in dusty sites. Cross-referenced as 1625480051 in some listings—confirm OD, ID, height, and seal style against the removed element before ordering. Also called air filter element, intake filter cartridge, compressor air filter.
