Balston 100-12-DX Coalescing Filter Element 25 Micron Grade E

Description

Product Overview

The Balston 100-12-DX Coalescing Filter Element is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern compressed‑air systems. Constructed from high‑grade synthetic media, the element features a MicraLescer Grade E filtration layer that captures particles, oil droplets, and moisture down to 25 microns. This precise filtration protects downstream equipment such as dryers, regulators, and pneumatic tools from contamination that can cause wear, corrosion, or failure. The element conforms to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, ensuring a seamless fit in standard filter housings without the need for modifications. Its robust housing and reinforced end caps maintain structural integrity under high pressure, while the pleated media design maximizes surface area for extended service life. The filter is rated for continuous operation in industrial environments, delivering consistent performance even under fluctuating flow rates and temperature extremes.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of applications, the Balston 100-12-DX filter excels in factories, workshops, automotive service bays, and any setting where clean, dry air is essential. It is ideal for use in air compressors, paint booths, food‑processing plants, and manufacturing lines that rely on pneumatic actuators or precision tools. The filter’s ability to remove oil and moisture before they reach the dryer extends the life of the dryer’s desiccant, reducing the frequency of desiccant replacement and associated downtime. Installation is straightforward: simply insert the element into the existing filter housing, secure the housing clamps, and resume operation. The filter can handle flow rates up to 150 CFM, making it suitable for both small‑scale and high‑capacity systems. Regular inspection and replacement according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule will ensure optimal performance and prevent unexpected system failures.
