Compressor Filters, Regulators, & Lubricators

Compressed air naturally holds moisture which, when compressed, turns into liquid water. Since water is non-compressible, it can cause “water hammer” effects, rust internal components, and wash away essential lubrication. A water trap (filter) removes this moisture before it reaches your expensive tools.

A standard 25-micron filter removes larger solid particles like rust and scale. A coalescing filter is far more precise, designed to merge tiny oil and water aerosols into larger droplets that can be drained. Airpower offers coalescing filters that achieve a 0.01 mg/m³ oil carry-over for high-purity applications.

Yes. We supply a comprehensive range of replacement filter elements compatible with most major brands (often referred to as “opposition filters”). This allows you to maintain high air quality without being locked into a single manufacturer’s pricing.

Standard regulators are fine for general air tools, but precision regulators are necessary for applications requiring highly stable pressure with minimal “droop,” such as laboratory testing, tensioning, or delicate pneumatic instrumentation.

Yes. While coalescing filters remove liquid oil, activated carbon filters are required to remove oil vapor and odors. This is essential for Class 1 air quality, often required in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging.
