CLEMCO 19121 Pneumatic Filter Element – Flow Coalescing, Compressed

Description

Product Overview

The CLEMCO 19121 Pneumatic Filter Element utilizes advanced coalescing technology to capture moisture, oil aerosols, and solid particles from compressed air streams. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel mesh and a durable polymer media, the element delivers consistent filtration performance even under demanding industrial conditions. Its compact dimensions of 38 × 16.5 × 16.5 inches and a weight of 62.32 lb make it suitable for a wide range of air treatment assemblies.

Engineered for high flow capacity, this filter element maintains low pressure drop, allowing compressors to operate efficiently without excessive energy consumption. The element is rated for standard industrial pressure ranges and complies with ISO‑8573‑1 specifications for air quality, ensuring that downstream equipment receives air that meets stringent cleanliness standards.

Installation is straightforward with a universal threaded connection that fits most standard filter housings. The element’s design includes a sealed end cap to prevent media leakage, and the robust frame resists deformation during routine handling and maintenance. Routine inspection can be performed without disassembly, and the element can be replaced quickly to minimize system downtime.

CLEMCO’s commitment to quality is reflected in the rigorous testing each filter undergoes, including particle retention, moisture absorption, and durability assessments. The product’s best‑seller rank in the compressed‑air coalescing filter category underscores its reliability and popularity among industrial users.

Usage

This filter element is ideal for manufacturing plants that rely on compressed air for pneumatic tools, automation systems, and process control. In automotive paint shops, the element removes oil mist and water vapor, protecting paint booths and ensuring a flawless finish. Food‑processing facilities benefit from the element’s ability to maintain air purity, reducing the risk of contamination in packaging and handling equipment.

Compressed‑air systems in mining operations, metal‑fabrication workshops, and pharmaceutical production also gain from the element’s high‑efficiency coalescing action, which safeguards sensitive instrumentation and prolongs the life of downstream components such as regulators, lubricators, and actuators.

For facilities that operate 24 / 7, the filter’s durable construction and low maintenance requirements support continuous operation, reducing the need for frequent filter changes and associated labor costs.

FAQ

What size filter does the CLEMCO 19121 replace?

The 19121 model is designed to replace standard 38 × 16.5 × 16.5 inch filter elements commonly used in industrial compressed‑air systems. It fits most housings that accept a 38‑inch diameter filter with a 16.5‑inch depth.

How often should the filter be changed?

Replacement intervals depend on operating conditions such as air flow rate, contaminant load, and ambient humidity. For typical industrial use, we recommend inspecting the element every 6 months and replacing it when pressure drop exceeds 10 psi or visual inspection shows media saturation.

Is the filter compatible with oil‑free compressors?

Yes, the coalescing element works effectively with both oil‑free and oil‑lubricated compressors. It provides an additional layer of protection by removing residual oil mist and moisture, enhancing the performance of oil‑free systems.

What maintenance steps are recommended?

Regular maintenance includes checking for signs of media clogging, verifying the integrity of the sealed end caps, and ensuring that the housing gaskets are in good condition. Clean the housing interior with a lint‑free cloth before installing a new element to prevent re‑contamination.

Can the filter be used in food‑processing environments?

The filter meets ISO‑8573‑1 air quality standards, making it suitable for food‑processing applications where clean, dry air is essential. However, always verify that the filter material complies with any specific sanitary regulations applicable to your facility.
