2 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The typical operating pressure range is 1.0–1.6 MPa, as listed in the directory. Always verify the exact pressure rating for your specific model with the manufacturer.
The separator uses coalescing filtration. Compressed air passes through a filter media that causes oil and water droplets to merge into larger droplets. These larger droplets then drain by gravity into a collection bowl for removal.
The filtration rating ranges from 0.01 to 5 μm, corresponding to ISO 8573-1 Class 1–5 for oil and particles. The oil carryover is 0.01–0.5 mg/m³, Class 1–4. These are reference values; confirm the actual performance for your application with the supplier.
The separator body is available in stainless steel (grades 304–316L), polypropylene, or with a PTFE membrane. The choice depends on the operating environment and corrosion resistance requirements. Verify material compatibility with your system.
