Modular coalescing filter for in-line or panel mounting, ideal for compressed air purification in industrial systems. Removes 0.3 µm particles, with optional filtration down to 0.01 µm, aluminum bowl and rotating sight glass for easy reading. Equipped with automatic drain and differential pressure gauge for saturation control.
Modular or in-line mounting.
Coalescing filter element rated at 0.3 µm; optional element rated at 0.01 µm.
Aluminum bowl with transparent nylon sight glass. The bowl can be rotated for easier reading.
Optional extended bowl with higher-flow filter element.
Differential pressure gauge to indicate when the filter element must be replaced.
Internal automatic drain; optional manual drain and internal float drain.
NPTF port threads; optional BSPP threads.
Master Pneumatic developed coalescing filters for use in compressed air systems with coolers, dryers and reservoirs operating below 52°C. Coalescing filters remove 99.98% of oil as well as all solid contamination larger than 0.3 microns.
As an option, we offer a filter element for particles down to 0.01 microns, which produces a 20% pressure drop.
M/P coalescing filters are normally used with M/P filters that, when installed close to and upstream of the M/P coalescing filter, act as pre-filters, allowing complete liquid removal and ensuring long service life for the coalescing filter.
The Vanguard Modular series is supplied with model 103-151 differential pressure indicator sight glass, which provides a practical and efficient way to determine the correct time to replace the filter element.
The easy-to-read sight glass indicates the filter element condition by color: green – clean element, or red – dirty element.
The Vanguard High Capacity series is also supplied with model 106-35 double-sided differential pressure indicator, which indicates:
• Green: clean element (maximum 6 psi);
• Yellow: intermediate stage (maximum 9 psi);
• Red: dirty element (more than 9 psi).
