Filters

Arrow F3 series particulate filter is equipped with a highly efficient baffling system for maximum bulk liquid and dirt particle removal. The Arrow heavy-duty, cleanable porous bronze element removes fine particles. Particle removal can be tailored to specific needs with either the 40 or 5 micron bronze element. An optional 3 micron absolute pleated fiber element is also offered for extra-fine particle removal.
 
The Arrow 3 micron absolute element is a high efficiency filter element with solid particle removal in the 90% efficiency range down to .29 microns. The Beta efficiency rating is 99.5%. The element is constructed of pleated cloth fibers and rib supports for strength. Both ends have urethane 50 durometer elastomer seals to insure particulate entrapment. The pleated fiber design gives this element 10 times the surface area of similar nominal rated elements. This increased surface area provides a long element life and the same pressure drop characteristics as our current 40 micron element. When used as a pre-filter to a coalescing filter, it will increase the life of the coalescing element by 4 to 6 times.
 
A coalescing filter functions in a different way from a standard particulate filter. Air flow from inside to outside through a coalescing media. Coalescing, by definition, means "to come together". It is a continuous process by which small aerosols come in contact with the fibers in the filter media, uniting with other collected aerosols and growing to emerge as a droplet on the downstream surface of the media which by its weight is gravitationally drained away. For maximum performance and efficiency, coalescing filters should be preceded by a F3 particulate filter.
 
Arrow's F7 Series Two-in-One Filter combines a F3 particulate filter with a F5 coalescing filter in one convenient package. A pleated prefilter removes dirt and solid particles down to .3 micron in size with 95% efficiency. The .03 micron element then coalesces oil aerosols into liquid form and accumulates the droplets in an outer drain layer which wicks the oil to the bowl sump where it can be drained.

Series F3 Particulate Filters

Series F3 filters remove harmful oil/water condensate, pipe scale, dirt and rust from your compressed air system. This prevents corrosive damage to compress air equipment and finished products. Typically, particulate filters are installed upstream of regulators to prevent valve failure. They are also used as pre-filters to oil removing and coalescing filters to insure high efficiency and long element life in applications such as paint spraying, instrumentation and pharmaceuticals. There are six models available.

Series F4 Oil Removing Filters

Series F4 filters offer general industrial filtration with low pressure drop and long element life. They are often used with older compressors where downstream oil carryover is excessive and when longer element life and low pressure drop are a concern. They also serve as pre-filters for refrigerated air dryers. There are five models available.

Series F5 Coalescing Filters

Series F5 filters are used for high filtration of oil aerosols and sub micron particles. They are often used with critical instrumentation; paint spraying equipment; more sophisticated air systems; blow molding bottling; in the food industry, and where air blows on a finished product. The .01 micron grade "A" element is offered for the most critical filtration applications, such as those found in clean rooms. There are six models available.

Series F6 Adsorber Filters

Series F6 filters were engineered specifically for those critical applications that will not tolerate the presence of oil vapors and associated odors. The core consists multi wrapped layers of impregnated 40 micron activated charcoal particles to increase its purification qualities. If the compressed air has been prepared by a suitable refrigerated dryer and F4 oil removing filter, the F6 Adsorber will insure oil concentrations of .01 PPM by weight. In all cases, a F5 coalescing filter must precede and F6 Adsorber filter. To prevent any particle migration downstream, a F3 with 3 micron element should be installed down stream for total system protection. These filters protect end processes from gaseous oil contamination and rids compressed air of offensive oily odors. It removes hydrocarbons for use in analytical instruments. There are five models available.

Series F7 Two-in-One Filters

Series F7 filter is an oil removing filter with the addition of a built-in prefilter. The built-in pleated prefilter removes particulates which would otherwise prematurely plug the element. This extends the element's service life 4 to 6 times. Untreated air is first filtered through a pleated, 3 micron absolute particulate filter. This pleated element uses a large surface area to filter dirt and solid particles down to .3 micron in size with a 95% efficiency. The air then travels through the .03 micron element which coalesces oil aerosols into liquid form. A manual drain is standard with an automatic drain available. They come in four model series. Operating temperature for all models is 40°F to 160°F.

Economatic Drains

ECONOMATIC drains are used to automatically drain filters, tanks, drain legs, aftercoolers and receivers. To trap large debris and sludge, a Y-strainer is included with the drain.
 
The drain can be set for manual operation or the drain interval and duration times can be preset. The drain interval can be adjusted between 1 to 60 minutes and the drain duration can be set from 1 to 30 seconds. The drain features: solid state adjustable controls, a corrosion-resistant, waterproof, molded solenoid coil, Buna N seals, a brass and stainless valve, a rust- and corrosion-proof NEMA 1 enclosure, and indicator light, and a heavy-duty grounded, 6-ft. power cord.
