Medical vacuum filters for optimal protection of man and machine

Medical vacuum filters are installed at the inlet of the vacuum pump to remove any liquid, solid or bacterial contamination which could damage the vacuum pump and biologically infect the downstream air. Our innovative medical vacuum filtration solutions comply with HTM medical standards.

Your Benefits

• Maximum contaminant removal Removal of dry and wet dust, particulates, oil aerosol and water droplets. High-efficiency glass fiber and fleece media.
• Significant energy savings & limited system operation cost Optimal design and filter media allow for low pressure losses.
• High reliability High performance stainless steel cores, double O-rings, epoxy sealed caps and anti-corrosive coated filter housing.
• Easy maintenance External ribs on the threaded housing and push-on elements.
• Monitoring of energy use Differential pressure indication show the pressure loss.

Certified Performance

Atlas Copco filters are qualified according to the ISO 8573-1:2010 standard. This is the latest edition of the standard. Beware of filters that comply with earlier editions, such as ISO 8573-1:1991 or ISO 8573-1:2001. The difference is inferior quality of the delivered compressed air. This qualification is a result of our filters being tested according to ISO 12500-1:2007, ISO 12500-2:2007, and ISO 12500-3:2009. These specify the test layout, test procedures and inlet conditions required for testing coalescing filters, vapor filters, and solid particle filters used in compressed air systems, to determine their effectiveness in removing oil aerosol, oil vapor and solid particles. The measurements of the air purity downstream the filter for each specific contaminant have been performed according to the test methods described in respectively ISO 8573-2:2007, ISO 8573-5:2001 and ISO 8573-4:2001. Tests have been conducted in-house as well as in external labs, and are independently validated by TÜV. ISO

A Solution For Every Application

At different points of use, different compressed air purities might be needed, depending on the application. The various air purity classes are provided in the table below, which clearly shows the various Atlas Copco filters and dryers that meet all the different classes.
