Customer Cases

1. Product Concept

The CAA33-5 is engineered as a universal, high-efficiency coalescing filter cartridge for general industrial compressed air systems. Its core concept balances robust contaminant removal with practical economics, offering an optimal solution for applications that demand reliable air purity without the extreme cost of ultra-high-efficiency filters. The 5-inch height represents a standard form factor designed to deliver extended service life and higher flow capacity within a compact and universally compatible footprint. It serves as a critical barrier, protecting equipment and processes from liquid and particulate contamination that can cause wear, corrosion, and product defects.

2. Key Advantages & Features

• Extended Service Life & High Contaminant Capacity: The 5-inch pleated media pack provides a larger filtration surface area compared to shorter elements, significantly increasing its dirt-holding and liquid-holding capacity. This results in longer operational intervals between changes, reducing maintenance frequency, downtime, and lifecycle costs.

• Effective Multi-Stage Filtration: Utilizes a multi-layer composite media (typically glass fiber) designed to efficiently capture, coalesce, and drain sub-micron oil and water aerosols, while also removing fine solid particulates. It delivers air quality that typically meets ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 2 or better for oil content.

• Optimized Flow with Low Pressure Drop: The design is engineered to handle medium to high flow rates with a minimal initial pressure drop, helping to maintain system energy efficiency. The pressure drop increases gradually as the filter loads, providing a stable performance curve.

• Robust & Reliable Construction: Features a durable center core (metal or polymer), reinforced end caps, and integrated O-ring seals (typically Nitrile) to ensure a positive, bypass-free seal in standard filter housings, guaranteeing all air is filtered.

• Cost-Effective Performance: It represents the best value proposition for many industrial applications, offering an ideal balance of performance, longevity, and purchase price, leading to a low total cost of ownership.

3. Application Fields

The CAA33-5 is a versatile workhorse filter applied across diverse industries where clean, dry compressed air is essential for operational reliability and product quality:

• General Manufacturing & Assembly: Protecting pneumatic tools, actuators, cylinders, and clamps on production lines in automotive, metalworking, and machinery plants.

• Packaging & Material Handling: Ensuring reliable operation of packaging machines, filling equipment, and conveyor systems.

• Process & Instrument Air: Providing clean air for general plant instrument air systems, control valves, and smaller process applications.

• Surface Treatment & Finishing: Used in pre-treatment stages for spray painting, powder coating, and cleaning processes to prevent surface defects.

• OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Integration: A preferred standard component built into a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment by manufacturers.
