The CM-33SB-5 is engineered as an advanced integrated filtration system that combines mechanical coalescing and chemical adsorption technologies within a single 5-inch cartridge. Designed to address the complete spectrum of compressed air contamination—from liquid aerosols and particulates to oil vapors and odors—this product represents a holistic approach to air purification. The "SB" designation specifically incorporates high-temperature silicone sealing technology, making it suitable for demanding environments where thermal stability and chemical resistance are critical. This dual-stage, single-element design eliminates the complexity of multi-housing systems while delivering laboratory-grade air quality for industrial applications.
Advanced Dual-Stage Filtration Architecture
Primary Coalescing Stage: Multi-layer borosilicate glass fiber media with 0.01 µm filtration efficiency (>99.98% removal) for liquid aerosols and solid particulates
Secondary Adsorption Stage: Impregnated activated carbon bed (coconut shell, 950+ iodine value) specifically engineered for hydrocarbon vapor and odor elimination
Integrated Flow Design: Optimized sequential media arrangement prevents channeling and ensures complete contaminant contact
Superior Performance Specifications
Air Quality Certification: Consistently achieves ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 0/Class 1 standards for total oil content (aerosol + vapor ≤ 0.01 mg/m³)
High-Temperature Resilience: Silicone (VMQ) seals enable continuous operation at 100°C (212°F) with 2,000+ hour service life under elevated temperature conditions
Enhanced Capacity Metrics: 40% greater adsorption surface area than conventional 5-inch vapor filters, with 150g activated carbon loading
Energy Efficient Operation: Maintains <0.07 bar initial pressure drop at 100 SCFM through computational fluid dynamics-optimized pleat geometry
Operational & Economic Benefits
Extended Maintenance Intervals: 3× longer service life compared to separate coalescing + vapor filter configurations
Reduced System Complexity: Single cartridge replacement versus multiple element changes, cutting maintenance time by 60%
Space Optimization: 50% smaller footprint than equivalent two-stage filter housings
