Customer Cases

1. Product Concept

The CM-38-5 is a high-performance industrial-grade coalescing filter cartridge, engineered as a precise drop-in replacement for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) models. Its core function is to remove liquid contaminants—specifically sub-micron oil aerosols, water mist, and fine particulates—from compressed air and gas streams. Utilizing advanced multi-layer coalescing media, it forces ultrafine liquid droplets to merge into larger droplets, which are then separated by gravity and drained away. The result is exceptionally dry, clean, and oil-free air that meets stringent air quality standards and protects downstream equipment and processes.

2. Key Features & Advantages

• High Efficiency & Precision Filtration: Achieves removal of liquid aerosols down to 0.1 micron with efficiency exceeding 99.9%, consistently delivering air quality that meets or exceeds ISO 8573-1 Class 1 for oil content (<0.01 mg/m³).

• Optimized Performance Design: Features low initial pressure drop and high contaminant holding capacity, which extends service life, reduces energy consumption, and lowers the total cost of ownership.

• Robust & Reliable Construction: Built with a strong internal/external support cage to prevent media migration and collapse, ensuring stable performance even under pulsating or variable pressure conditions.

• Perfect Fit & Seal: Manufactured to exact OEM dimensions with dual O-ring seals (typically Nitrile rubber), guaranteeing a leak-proof installation and full flow through the filter media in compatible housings.

• Cost-Effective Solution: Provides OEM-equivalent or superior performance at a significantly reduced cost, making it an economical choice for maintenance and system reliability.

3. Application Fields

The CM-38-5 is critical in applications demanding ultra-clean, dry compressed air or gas:

• General Manufacturing & Automation: Protects pneumatic tools, cylinders, valves, spray systems, and robotic actuators from oil and water damage, reducing downtime and maintenance.

• Process-Critical Industries: Essential in food & beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and electronics production where oil-free air is required for product safety, quality, and process integrity.

• Instrument & Control Air: Supplies clean air to sensitive analytical instruments, control valves, and packaging machinery, ensuring accuracy and preventing clogging or malfunction.

• Breathing Air Systems: A vital component in air purification setups for industrial breathing air lines and fire station SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) fill stations, removing oil vapor to meet safety standards.

• Pre-Gas Treatment: Used as a final polishing filter for natural gas or inert gases prior to sensitive processes or equipment.
