The use of compressed air is now an integral feature of every industrial firm. Compressors and vacuum pumps are used in the construction industry, mechanical engineering and in other highly sensitive sectors such as the foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and electrical engineering industries. MANN-FILTER air oil separators are import quality components in the compressed air processing chain.

MANN-FILTER air oil separators work according to the ‘principal of coalescence’. Micro-glass fibre layers separate drops of oil from the compressed air and return them in large drops to the oil circuit of the compressor. The separation process is effective right down to the sub-micron range. This ensures that the oil consumption in the compressors and oil entrainment into the compressed air networks are kept to a minimum. However, vapour oil particles are not separated.

MANN-FILTER air oil separators can be used with all types of standard compressor lubricating oils regardless of whether they are mineral-based, synthetic or partially synthetic products.

MANN-FILTER air oil separators have high resistance to differential pressure and are able to operate in temperature up to 120°C. For nominal flow load, its residual oil content is from 1 to 3 mg/m³ or ppm (parts per million). While its nominal flow rate is at 7 bar/0.7 MPa, the nominal flow rate for its standard wrap element is at 2 to 42 m³/min, and 3.5 to 39 m³/min for its depth separator element. MANN-FILTER air oil separator box and air oil separator filter nominal flow rates are 1 to 5.5 m³/min and 1 to 11 m³/min respectively.
