Overview
The SMC AFD30-N02D-Z-X2141 is a micro mist separator from SMC’s AFD series, engineered to remove mist, moisture, and oil aerosol from compressed air in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. This body size 30 unit features a polycarbonate bowl with transparent bowl guard, delivering 360° visibility while protecting against environmental contamination. The automatic drain (N.O. float type) and element service indicator make maintenance straightforward.
Key Features
- 0.01μm filtration level — Removes fine mist and moisture for compressed air quality suitable for precision applications.
- Element service indicator (X2141) — Alerts when filter replacement is needed, preventing bypass of unfiltered air.
- Transparent polycarbonate bowl guard — 360° visibility for monitoring condensate levels; protects bowl from impact and environment.
- Automatic drain (N.O. float type) — Continuous removal of collected condensate without manual intervention.
- Modular design — Supports mounting brackets and optional differential pressure drain accessories.
- NPT thread connection — Standard 1/4 NPT ports for industrial compressed air systems.
