micro filters - cleansweep
A leading manufacturer since 1988
Micro filters
Any kind of pneumatic tool perform its best when it is filtered of the various contaminants at regular intervals of time. These contaminants could be dirt, oil and water that come unfiltered through compressed air. The oil and water mostly exist in liquid or vapour forms. Getting rid of these contaminants is a must to prevent any unfavourable effects on your end products. Trident produces coalescing filters that help remove liquid oil and water. The Micro filter manufacturers process consists of a filter media made up of boro silicate micro glass fibres. On the other hand, the oil in vapour form is removed using activated carbon filters.
Working Principle
Coalesing is a continuous natural process in which oil, water and solid particles that pass through the filter element come into contact with a fibre strand and unite with other collected aerosole to form droplets. The droplets fall to the bottom of the housing and are drained away.

Types and their operation
Coalescers and interceptors are two further types of typical 0.01 micron filters of this series. These coalescing filters are fine strands of Borosilicate glass fibre that can coalesce the finest of oil and water aerosils. These fine droplets of oil and water further coalesce to form a large droplet that falls down due to the gravity. On the other hand, the interceptors help in removing particles. These filters have a very low pressure drop. They are used either after the filtration process in the desiccant dryer or for any general use for fusal instrument protectors.
All about Trident Micro filters
Trident has thrived in the business of catering to various requirements of the customers by offering them with the best of Compressed air filter Manufacturers. These requirements range from the various commercial to the various residential sectors for the filtration of oil and water. There are many varieties available in Trident’s wide spectrum of filters that are suitable for all compressed air systems namely the sensitive and CNC m/c, painting systems, instruments, packaging etc. These filters feature accurate performance, superior quality and resistance to wear and tear which makes them highly demanded in the market. Their sound infrastructure in micro filter manufacturers has made this possible.

A wide range of end-users are now using the microfiltration membranes for manifold sets of uses. Unlike several other kinds of equipment for treating water and waste-water, the majority of microfiltration membranes are extremely specific in application. Also, the individual types of products rarely compete with each other. For instance, gaseous filtration or filtration of liquids consisting of high amounts of corrosive chemicals is commonly filtered using PTFE membranes. Also, the microfiltration spiral membranes that are best used for processing dairy products and industrial biotechnological necessities are increasing each day sue to their vast list of utilities. There are a lot many companies that provide you with a lot many solutions engineered to suit your need in the best possible way, one among which is Trident. These solutions not only help you grow your business but also help you stay ahead of the emerging technologies.
Some of the key features of micro filters
- Although at lower effectiveness, particles upto 0.01 microns are filtered
- Provides you the facility of standard fitment of automatic drain valve
- A very low pressure drop of 1 PSI for dry media and 2-3 for wet media with 10-20 wt oil
- Provides you with a status indicator
- Offers you a maximum oil carry over value of 0.008 ppm w/w
- Different grades of coalesce for manifold applications
How it Works
Drying Cycle: Moist air from the compressor is sent through the
coalescing filter. Here water & oil coalesces and purges through the
auto drain valve. The relatively clean air with water vapour passing
through the aluminum drying tower filled with desiccant gets
completely dried (up to -40°C ADP) and then passes through a built
in after filter (1 micron). The desiccant fines from the towers are
completely removed and clean dry air is let out through the outlet
port for use.
Regeneration Cycle: During the regeneration cycle, the sudden
depressurisation brings out water molecule strapped in the Desiccant
pores to the surface of the beads. A small portion of dry compressed
air from the drying tower then passes over the desiccant through
the regeneration orifice built in the Top Block. This results in complete
regeneration of the Desiccant.
