Air Compressor Inline Filters

Inline air compressor filters form an integral part of the compressed air process, preventing oil, dirt, and particulates from passing through compressed air tools into your system. When contaminants such as dust or loose metal particles from pipe corrosion enter your system, they can disrupt production, affect product quality, and lead to costly downtime.

Choosing the right inline compressed air filter ensures clean air and protects sensitive pneumatic equipment from contamination. These filters can be strategically placed throughout the air compressor system (after the compressor, before or after the compressed air dryer, or near the point of use) to maintain air purity and consistent performance.

Dry Particulate Filters

Dry particulate filters remove dust and solid particles left after an adsorption air dryer. Acting like a sieve, they allow only clean air to pass through while blocking larger contaminants. This helps maintain efficiency and prevent clogs in your compressed air system.

Coalescing Filters

Coalescing filters capture oil aerosols and fine moisture droplets, preventing corrosion and rust inside the system. Through a two-stage process, smaller droplets merge into larger ones, which are then removed from the air stream. A re-entrainment barrier stops the separated liquids from being drawn back into the system.

Vapour Removal Filters

Vapour removal filters extract gaseous lubricants that may pass through coalescing filters. These use activated charcoal to adsorb vapours but should always be installed after a coalescing filter to prevent oversaturation. This combination ensures the highest level of filtration for clean, dry compressed air.

0.01-Micron Filters

These high-efficiency filters remove residual oil and particles as small as 0.01 micron. They produce oil-free air and are ideal for protecting control systems, pneumatic tools, painting applications, and as post-filters for adsorption dryers.

1-Micron Filters

1-micron filters remove particles such as oil and moisture down to 1 micron. They are commonly used as pre-filters for air dryers, preventing corrosion and extending the lifespan of compressed air systems and connected components.

Air compressor filters should generally be replaced once a year or every 8,000 operating hours. However, frequent maintenance may be needed if the filtration is undersized, if there’s high oil carryover, or if corrosion in the piping introduces more particulates. Regular checks help maintain system efficiency and prevent damage to downstream equipment.

Our range of inline compressed air filters at Express Australia not only bolsters the performance of your machines but also enhances energy efficiency, translating into significant savings on power usage. In ensuring the best quality of air in your system, these filters extend the life of your air compressor or refrigerant air dryer.

Our expert team at Express Australia stands ready to assist you with installation and maintenance. We are equipped with the knowledge to advise on which type of inline air filter will serve your compressed air product best. Reach out to us today to optimise your system’s performance and longevity.

Inline filters offer an advantage due to their placement within the compressed air system. Unlike standard filters, they sit directly in the air line path, efficiently capturing oil, water, and solid particles without restricting airflow. This ensures a steady, high-quality air supply across your entire system.

Built for durability, inline compressor filters handle high pressure and harsh conditions, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of your equipment. They also deliver precision filtration (models can filter particles down to 0.01 micron), providing maximum protection against oil and dirt contamination. This makes them essential for industries that rely on clean air to maintain process quality and safety.

At Express Australia, our range of inline compressed air filters enhances machine performance and overall system efficiency. Clean air leads to smoother operations, lower energy use, and reduced maintenance costs across a wide range of industrial applications.

Our experienced team can advise on the right inline air compressor filter for your system and installation. Each product is designed to maintain air quality, protect equipment, and ensure reliable operation.
