You must use a filter for a compressor in order to remove contaminants from the air or gas stream that can damage the system. Compressed air equipment is designed to use clean air or gas, and if impurities are present, they can cause wear and tear to the components.
As air compressors are often used in industrial settings to supply power to machinery, these filters are important in ensuring that the air compressor is able to function properly and without interruption.
In factories and production lines, compressed air is often used to clean and dry containers for food and drink products and cosmetics. If this air contains contaminants, such as water vapour, it may harbour bacteria that can contaminate the containers. To avoid this, it is important to use compressor filters to remove any impurities from the air stream.
In addition, contaminated compressed air or gas can be dangerous to breathe if it contains oil or other chemicals. Compressor filters remove these harmful contaminants, reducing the risk of health hazards for people using compressor-powered equipment.
