Overview
The Kaeser PF-PV filter element is a particulate filter cartridge engineered for compressed air treatment systems. As an after-filter positioned downstream of desiccant air dryers, this element removes liquid oil, water condensate, pipe scale, dirt, and rust from compressed air lines. The glassfiber construction with stainless steel core ensures durability under pressure while maintaining consistent filtration performance.
Key Features
- High-efficiency glassfiber filter media with stainless steel core
- 1 micron particulate / 0.1 ppm oil removal efficiency
- Removes water vapor, oil, and solid contaminants
- Drop-in replacement for Kaeser OEM particulate filter cartridges
- Minimizes pressure drop while maintaining clean air quality
- Prevents corrosive damage to downstream equipment and finished products
