CA33-8SB General Purpose High-Capacity Air Filter

The CM-33-5 is engineered as a premium multi-stage compressed air filtration solution that integrates both mechanical coalescing and chemical adsorption technologies into a single, compact cartridge. Its core design philosophy is to provide comprehensive air purification by addressing not only liquid aerosols and solid particulates but also oil vapors and odors—delivering air purity that exceeds the capabilities of standard coalescing-only filters. The "5-inch" format balances high contaminant-holding capacity with universal housing compatibility, making it an advanced yet practical choice for upgrading general industrial air systems to a higher purity class.

Product Introduction

1. Product Concept

The CM-33-5 is a high-performance multi-stage combination filter cartridge designed for advanced compressed air purification. It integrates dual-stage filtration technology within a standard 5-inch format: first-stage coalescing removes liquid aerosols and solid particulates, while the second-stage activated carbon bed eliminates oil vapors and odors. This integrated design provides comprehensive protection exceeding standard coalescing filters, targeting both visible and gaseous contaminants to achieve true oil-free air quality (≤0.01 mg/m³ oil content) as defined by ISO 8573-1 Class 1 standards.

2. Key Features & Advantages

Integrated Dual-Stage Technology

  • Primary Stage: High-efficiency borosilicate glass fiber media captures 0.01 µm oil/water droplets (>99.5% efficiency)

  • Secondary Stage: Impregnated activated carbon bed adsorbs oil vapors, hydrocarbons, and odors

  • Unified Construction: Stabilized media layers prevent channeling, ensuring sequential filtration

Superior Performance Characteristics

  • Air Quality: Consistently delivers ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 0/Class 1 air for oil content

  • High Capacity: 40% larger adsorption surface area than standard 5-inch vapor filters

  • Energy Efficient: Optimized pleat geometry maintains <0.07 bar initial pressure drop at rated flow

  • Temperature Resilience: Functions effectively across 4-60°C operational range

Operational & Economic Benefits

  • Extended Service Life: 2-3× longer change intervals compared to separate coalescing+vapor filters

  • Reduced Maintenance: Single cartridge replacement vs. multiple element changes

  • Space Optimization: Combines two filtration stages in one housing footprint

  • Cost Efficiency: 30% lower total ownership cost over 3-year operational cycle
