Why Are Precision Filters Equipped for Air Compressors?

1. For applications such as painting, chemical processing, food production and precision component manufacturing, 

2. if compressed air contains moisture, oil contamination and solid impurities, products will be contaminated, resulting in deteriorated quality. 

3. In severe cases, finished products will be scrapped, damaging corporate reputation.

4. Dust and other impurities carried in compressed air exert abrasive effects on components with relative motion. Severe wear may trigger air leakage, 

5. impair equipment precision and shorten service life.

6. In freezing weather, condensed water vapor may freeze and damage pipelines and auxiliary components.

7. Mixtures of water, oil and dust accumulate inside pipelines, reducing the effective flow area and increasing airflow resistance. In extreme cases, 

8. pipeline blockage occurs, destabilizing the operation of the entire system.

9. High-pressure oil vapor accumulates within system pipelines and forms flammable substances, even explosive mixtures. Meanwhile, 

10. oil vapor is gasified under high temperature and generates organic acids, which cause corrosion to metallic equipment.

Apart from issues related to the compressed air system, if contaminants including water, solid particles and oil are allowed to pass freely through valves, cylinders, 

air motors and pneumatic tools, they will create an unhealthy production and working environment, generating industrial dust, toxic fumes and other hazards.
