How It Works First, the air enter the particulate filter, which has 10 micron cleanable Polyethylene element. In this stage, corrosive moisture, pipe scale, dirt and rust are removed from air line protecting the precision part in the regulator. During Stage 2, fine filtration takes place. Here, 99.99 percentage of oil aerosols and microscopic particles down to 0.01 micron absolute are removed from the air. Third Stage, the air enter a high-performance regulator, which reduces primary pressure to a desired pressure setting. Fourth Stage Water Separator, As the air enters the Water Separator, it is dispersed through a 7 stage Element, 1. Porous Plastic Coalescing Stage 2. Water Catch Mesh Media 3. Water Catch Fiber 4. HydroPhilic Laminated Glass Stage 5. Drain Layer 6. Porous Plastic Coalescing Stage 7. Coated Mesh SAMG series eliminate waterdrops up to 99% at the area of inlet of pneumatic machinery equipment and at the last stage of using air in the work room. Installation Install units so the airflow is in the direction “IN-OUT” as indicated by arrow on the head of the unit. Install filter first in line of additional units such as regulators or lubricators, and as close as possible to the pneumatic tools or appliances being serviced. Unit must be installed in parallel from floor, downstream position for proper function. Do not install polycarbonate bowl in pressure that exceeds 150 PSI or where there is a presence of solvents harmful to polycarbonate. In these cases, use a metal bowl. The Unit can dis-assemble or assemble using a Phillips-head screwdriver or Allen wrench. An insert feature allows simple installation and removal in any location without disturbing the existing piping arrangement. The regulator can be mounted in either up or down position. This unique design allows unlimited adaptation to air preparation systems. Unit will permit use of standard size pipe nipples.
