Coalescing Filter 6CU25-130 Industrial Service Solutions Oil Removal

Description

Product Overview

The 6CU25-130 coalescing filter is engineered by Industrial Service Solutions to meet the rigorous demands of modern compressed air systems. Featuring a .01 micron filtration rating, this element captures microscopic oil droplets, solid particles, and moisture before they can reach downstream equipment such as dryers and regulators. Constructed from high‑grade glass fiber media, the filter maintains structural integrity under high pressure differentials, ensuring a consistent low pressure drop and extending the service life of your air dryer. The design incorporates a robust metal housing that resists corrosion and mechanical wear, providing a reliable barrier against contaminants in harsh industrial environments.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of compressed air applications, the 6CU25-130 filter excels in manufacturing plants, automotive workshops, food processing facilities, and any setting where clean, dry air is critical. It is compatible with standard filter housings and can be installed as a direct replacement for OEM parts, minimizing downtime during maintenance. The filter’s high efficiency makes it ideal for protecting sensitive downstream components such as moisture‑sensitive pneumatic tools, precision instrumentation, and paint spray systems. Its ability to remove oil and moisture also helps prevent corrosion and prolongs the lifespan of compressors and associated equipment.

Technical Specifications

The 6CU25-130 filter operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C and a pressure range up to 10 bar (145 psi). Its dimensions are 6 inches in diameter and 25 inches in length, with a nominal flow capacity of 130 CFM at 100% efficiency. The filter media has a surface area of 1,200 square feet, providing ample capacity for high‑volume air streams. It complies with ISO 8573‑1 standards for particulate and oil contamination, ensuring that your system meets industry‑required air quality levels.

Installation Guide

Before installation, ensure the air system is depressurized and the existing filter housing is clean. Remove the old filter element by loosening the housing bolts, taking care not to damage the sealing gasket. Insert the 6CU25-130 element with the flow direction arrow aligned with the air stream, then re‑install the housing and tighten bolts to the manufacturer‑specified torque. Verify that the housing is sealed properly to prevent bypass leakage, and then gradually repressurize the system while monitoring for any abnormal pressure drops.

Maintenance Tips

Regular inspection of the filter element is essential for optimal performance. Schedule filter changes based on operating hours, typically every 12,000 to 18,000 CFM‑hours, or when pressure differential reaches the recommended limit. Keep the housing interior free of debris and moisture to avoid contaminant buildup. When replacing the element, inspect the housing gasket for wear and replace it if necessary. Maintaining proper airflow and avoiding excessive humidity will extend the life of both the filter and downstream equipment.

Performance Comparison

Compared with generic coalescing filters, the 6CU25-130 delivers up to 30% higher oil removal efficiency due to its finely woven glass fiber media. Field tests have shown a measurable reduction in dryer regeneration cycles, translating to lower energy consumption and reduced operational costs. The robust housing design also results in a longer service interval, decreasing the frequency of unscheduled maintenance and downtime.
