Compressed Air Filter Elements
XS Grade High Efficiency Filter Elements
Ultra-fine coalescing filtration for high-purity compressed air in critical applications.
Product Description
XS Grade High Efficiency Filter Elements
Final-stage high-efficiency coalescing filtration for critical compressed air applications.
XS Grade compressed air filter elements are designed for high-efficiency coalescing filtration, removing extremely fine oil aerosols, water droplets, and submicron particles from compressed air systems. These elements are typically installed downstream of pre-filters and general coalescing filters in multi-stage filtration systems.
Compressed air passes through specialised borosilicate microfibre media, which captures microscopic liquid droplets and fine particulate contaminants. The coalescing process merges tiny oil and water droplets into larger droplets that are then removed through the condensate drainage system.
By removing extremely small contaminants, XS Grade elements help provide high-purity compressed air required for critical industrial processes. These filters support compliance with ISO 8573 compressed air quality standards and help protect sensitive pneumatic equipment, instrumentation, and production systems.

FAQ
FAQ - XS Grade High Efficiency Filter Elements
What contaminants does an XS Grade filter remove?
XS Grade filter elements remove ultra-fine particles, oil aerosols, and microscopic water droplets from compressed air systems.
Where is an XS filter used in a filtration system?
XS filters are typically installed after pre-filters and standard coalescing filters, providing the final high-efficiency filtration stage.
Why is high-efficiency filtration important?
High-efficiency filtration ensures very clean compressed air, which is essential for sensitive equipment, instrumentation, and certain manufacturing processes.
Does an XS filter remove oil vapours?
No. XS filters remove oil aerosols and fine particles, while activated carbon filters are required to remove oil vapours and odours.
How often should XS filter elements be replaced?
Filter elements should be inspected regularly and replaced according to maintenance schedules to maintain optimal filtration performance.
