Compressed Air Separators
Prevent equipment damage caused by moisture. The first step in water removal, these separators remove the water that accumulates as compressed air cools. They have a float-operated drain valve that automatically opens when the bowl begins to fill. Install in your air line after compressors and aftercoolers.
Separators with feet can be placed on the floor or suspended from piping without support.
High-Flow Compressed Air Separators
These separators have higher flow rates compared to our other compressed air separators. Prevent equipment damage and wear caused by moisture in your compressed air supply. The first step in water removal, use one of these separators to remove the large amount of water created as compressed air cools. A float-operated drain valve automatically opens when the bowl begins to fill. Install separators in your air line after compressors and aftercoolers..

Two-Stage Compressed Air Filters for Coarse and Fine Particle Removal
Get two stages of filtration—the first stage removes most particles and water droplets; the second captures any remaining particles and water droplets down to 5 microns. Use these filters to clean your compressed air to extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment.
Replacement filter element kits include first- and second-stage filter elements, a base core, a base gasket, and four cap gaskets.
High-Discharge Compressed Air Filters for Particle Removal
Discharge up to 300 gallons of water and particles per hour—these filters handle compressed air that’s high in moisture content. An external automatic drain uses system air pressure to remove buildup, so no outside power is needed. Release contents into the air or direct them to a disposal point using a tube. These filters extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment.
High-Flow Compressed Air Filters for Particle Removal
Remove particles from large volumes of compressed air without causing restriction or drops in pressure. These filters will help extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment. They have an automatic drain that works well in air lines that have high water content, run continuously, or are hard to reach. Their filter service indicator turns increasingly red as the filter element clogs, so you’ll know when it needs to be replaced.
Heavy Duty Compressed Air Filters for Particle Removal
Use these filters where high water and dirt removal is needed—they have a two-layer filter element made of stainless steel wire mesh and cotton/polyester packing. Filters clean your compressed air to extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment.

Compressed Air Filters for Oil Removal
Also known as coalescing filters, these filters remove compressor oil to extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment. To prevent clogs, install a particle filter before the oil filter.
Mounting brackets allow you to attach the filter to a wall or equipment.
Desiccant Compressed Air Dryer/Filters for Oil and Particle Removal
These dryer/filters have a clay desiccant that removes moisture, oil, and particles, so there’s no need to install a separate filter and dryer. Once aftercoolers and separators have removed the bulk of the water, they remove any remaining moisture in your air line. Dryer/filters have a clear bowl or sight glass that allow you to see inside to monitor the contents. When the desiccant becomes saturated, it changes color to indicate that it should be replaced.
Dryer/filters with an aluminum bowl stand up to synthetic compressor lubricants and solvents better than dyers with an acrylic plastic bowl can.

Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers
Once aftercoolers and separators have removed the bulk of the water, use these dryers to remove any remaining moisture in your air line. To reuse saturated desiccant, heat it at its reactivation temperature until it returns to its dry desiccant color. Install after an oil filter to protect the desiccant.
Dryers with a clear bowl and dryers with a sight glass allow you to see inside to monitor contents.
Dryers with a metal bowl are more durable and stand up to vapor better than dryers with a plastic bowl.
