Overview
The SMC AFF22C-N06BC-T main line filter is a modular pneumatic air preparation component designed for primary-stage filtration in compressed air systems. This coarse (3 um) filter removes foreign matter and droplets to protect down stream dryers and extend the life of more precise filters. The AFF series offers a cost-effective solution with modular design allowing connection with other SMC air preparation equipment.
