Overview
The Kaeser VF-PF filter element is a precision-engineered cartridge designed for Kaeser compressed air treatment systems. This filter element provides high-efficiency particulate and oil vapor removal to maintain ISO 8573-1 air quality standards across various industrial applications. Compatible with Kaeser filtration housings, it delivers reliable contaminant separation with minimal pressure loss.
Key Features
- High-efficiency deep-pleated filter media for particle and aerosol removal
- Effective carbon fiber mat for oil vapor and odor trapping
- Coalescing design removes water, oil, and contaminants in one stage
- Low differential pressure design reduces compressor load and energy consumption
- Corrosion-resistant construction ensures long service life
- Easy cartridge replacement with bayonet or threaded rod positioning
