FILTRATION & NITROGEN GENERATORS

Coalescing compressed air filters protect equipment and delicate instruments from dirt water and oil usually found in compressed air

Nitrogen Generators produce up to 99.999% pure compressed nitrogen at dewpoints to -58°F (-50°C) from nearly any compressed air source.

Compressed Air Filters

Coalescing Compressed Air Filters protect your equipment and delicate instruments from the dirt, water and oil usually found in compressed air. Balston filters remove these contaminants at an efficiency rate of 99.99% for 0.01 micron particles and droplets. Liquid is channelled from the filter cartridge to an automatic drain as rapidly as it enters the filter. This allows a Balston Coalescing Filter to continuously remove liquids for an unlimited time without loss of efficiency or flow capacity.

Product Features:
  • Remove 99.99% oil, water, and solids from compressed air & other gases
  • Eliminate costs associated with shutdown time, maintenance, & rejected product
  • Low pressure drop
  • Services flow ranges from a few standard cubic feet to 40,000
Applications:
  • Protect and increase the efficiency of desiccant and refrigerant air dryers
  • Mainline filters remove oil and water at the source
  • Smaller point-of-use filters protect sensitive instruments and pneumatic machinery from water, oil and particle contaminants

Membrane and PSA Air Dryers

Utilize innovative membrane technology to provide clean, dry, compressed air to dewpoints to -100°F (-73°C). This high efficiency, durable technology is quickly becoming the standard for drying compressed air. Balston Membrane Air Dryers require no electricity and contain no refrigerants or freons, making them environmentally sound.

Gas and Liquid Sample Filters

Protect analyzers from sample impurities by removing solids and liquids from gases with 99.99999+% efficiency at 0.01 micron or lower. Composed of borosilicate glass microfibers with a resin binder, Balston sample filters are inert to most any gas or liquid.

Vacuum Pump Exhaust and Inlet Filters

Vacuum Pump Exhaust Filters remove all visible oil mist from vacuum pump exhaust, even when it is saturated with oil. The high efficiency filter cartridge continuously drains the collected liquid, allowing the user to recover expensive, inert lubricating fluid and resulting in extremely long filter cartridge life. Filters are available for pumps with flow ranging from 3 to 850 cfm.

Inlet Filters

Vacuum Pump Inlet Filter housings are constructed of 304 stainless steel for hazardous/corrosive applications, low vacuum aluminum or steel housings are recommended.

High Flow Rate Compressed Gas Filters

Offer exceptionally high efficiency coalescing filtration of compressed gas at high flow rates. Specifically designed to remove suspended liquids and dirt from pipeline natural gas, the housings are ASME Code Stamped up to 1440 psig. Equipped with Balston Microfibre® Grade DX Disposable Filter Cartridges, the filters are rated at 93% retention of 0.01 micron liquid droplets and particles.

Filters for Hospital Industry

Steam filters for hospitals eliminate instrument staining, spotting, and rusting caused by wet or dirty steam. Wrapped articles emerge from the sterilizer cycle drier and cleaner. Filtering hospital steam also results in reduced contamination of sterilizer interiors which in turn cuts down on cleaning time. Maintenance of sterilizer steam control valves, door seals, and other rubber materials is also significantly minimized.

Filters for Dryers for the Food Industry

Steam Filters

Steam Filters are in full compliance with the requirements of the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. These filters may be used with steam, air, and other gases which directly contact food and food ingredients, including milk, alcoholic, and nonalcoholic liquids.

Sterile Air Filters

Stainless Steel Compressed Air Filter Assemblies safeguard your operations from rust, pipe scale, water, oil, and organisms usually found in compressed air. These filters will remove contaminants at a very high efficiency - up to 99.99% for 0.01 micron particles and droplets. Liquid releases from the filter cartridge to an automatic drain as rapidly as it enters the filter. This allows the filter to continue removing liquids for an unlimited time without loss of efficiency or flow capacity. The final stage of filtration removes all viable organisms with an efficiency rating of 99.9999+% at 0.01 micron. Select 1/4” to 1”, line filters are constructed of 304 stainless steel and are designed to hold up to the harshest environments.

Nitrogen Generators

Parker Balston nitrogen generation systems continuously produce high purity nitrogen from compressed air and eliminate the inconvenience of a delivered nitrogen supply. A continuous supply of consistent purity is available within minutes of start-up
