Atlas Copco says its new filtration systems will revolutionise compressed air production systems, simplifying maintenance and reducing costs while delivering class leading performance and reliability.
The company’s inPASS™ technology allows servicing of filters without disturbing air flow, reducing the prospect of disturbances to production.
Servicing filters usually involves shutting down the entire compressed air system or installing 3-valve bypasses around every filter. Atlas Copco’s inPASS™ re-directs the air through the filter head during maintenance, allowing for safe filter cartridge replacement without interruption of the air flow, so there is no need to install extra piping around the filters or to halt production for maintenance. Savings in both installation and operational costs are achieved by allowing quick, seamless service.
Atlas Copco has developed specialised filtration methods to take on specific contaminants. This includes a wrapped filter element for wet particles, a pleated element for solid particles and macro-structured activated carbon for oil vapours. Centrifugal filters are also available to remove water droplets from the air flow.
The new filters also come with a user-friendly service indicator displaying running hours, differential pressure, and maintenance status. Users can maximise the lifespan of their filters and plan the best time for maintenance. There is also a malfunction alert on the filter head that can be connected to a remote monitoring device.
Andy Lill, Business Development Manager, Industrial Air at Atlas Copco Compressors UK said: “Filters are a crucial element to a compressed air system as filtration technology directly impacts reliability and efficiency of a production system. inPASS™ now allows our customers to service their filters without disrupting air flow, safeguard our customers’ production system and reduce their costs.”
