Mist Lubricator & Particulate Filters Series 1M301
Particulate Filter (Figure 2)
Description
These air line filters are heavy-duty units used to remove airborne
impurities from air supply lines by means of centrifugal force and
filter element. Units are equipped with vane-type deflectors and drain
valves. Deflector plate creates swirling action to the air stream assuring
entrainments separation at all flow rates. Filter element with extra large
surface assures fine filtration with low pressure drop. Turn manual drain
clockwise to open and counterclockwise to close.
Installation of Filter
1. Filter should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service
whenever possible - repair service kits are available. Keep pipe and
tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and
chips. Pipe joint compounds should be used sparingly and applied
only to the male pipe - never into the female port. Do not use PTFE
tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break off and
lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
2. Install unit so that air flow is in the direction of arrow. Installation must
be upstream of and close to devices it is to service (valve, cylinder,
tool, etc.). Position unit vertically with the bowl drain mechanism at
the bottom. Free moisture will thus drain into the sump (“quiet zone”)
at the bottom of the bowl.
Operation of the Filter
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by
the filter.
2. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated
moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the element holder. Automatic
drain models (pulse drain) will collect and dump liquids automatically.
They are actuated when a pressure drop occurs within the filter.
3. The filter element should be removed and replaced when the
pressure differential across the filter exceeds 70 kPa (10 psig, 0.7
bar).
Service
! Caution: SHUt OFF AIR SUPPLY and exhaust the primary and
secondary pressure before dis-assembling unit. (Units may be
serviced without removing them from the air line.)
Servicing Filter element
1. Unscrew threaded bowl and element holder. Then remove filter
element, deflector, and gaskets.
2. Clean all internal parts, bowl, and body before re-assembling unit.
See Polycarbonate bowl cleaning section.
3. Install deflector, filter element, and gaskets.
4. Attach element holder. Torque from 0.9 to 1.4 Nm (8 to 12 in-lbs).
5. To assist with retaining bowl’s o-ring while installing bowl, lubricate
the o-ring (with a mineral based oil or grease). Then place on
the bowl.
6. Screw bowl into the body until it is stopped by body; then back off
bowl 1/8 turn.
7. Apply pressure to the system and check for leaks. If leaks occur, shut
off the air supply, de-pressurize the system and make necessary
adjustments to eliminate leakage.

WARNING
to avoid polycarbonate bowl rupture that can cause personal injury or
property damage, do not exceed bowl pressure or temperature ratings.
Polycarbonate bowls have a 150 PSIG pressure rating and a maximum
temperature rating of 125°F.
CAUtION
Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with
Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial
environments, but should not be located in areas where they could be
subjected to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of
the rated range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage.
Polycarbonate bowls should not be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons,
ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used in air systems
where compressors are lubricated with fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate
ester and diester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of
most such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases
are present or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific
recommendations where these conditions exist.

ONLY! DO NOt use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon
tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.
