essential component of the compressed air system.
Suitable for use with oil lubricated and oil

CFT Oil Vapour Removal filters are designed to reduce CFT provides “Technically Oil Free Air” when used in

ISO8573-1 Class 1 for total oil delivered
Manufactured from extruded aluminium, the CFT is air quality
smaller and lighter than equivalent carbon towers. Tested in accordance with ISO8573-5 and third party
Compact activated carbon cartridges utilise a unique performance validated by Lloyds Register

guaranteeing performance, whilst the heavy attrition, (or both if old, contaminated piping is in use)
dusting and blocked particulate filters associated with
carbon tower designs is eliminated. The use of FDA Title 21 compliant & EC1935 exempt
cartridges also provides trouble free maintenance, Materials of construction make CFT suitable for use
reducing system downtime. with applications in the food, beverage and
pharmaceutical industries
Oil free plant air can be affected by many factors such
as pressure, temperature, air flow, oil concentration Unique adsorbent fill technique
and humidity. The CFT selection process considers all of Providing maximum packing density, eliminating dusting,
these factors to ensure consistent outlet air quality performance degradation and blocked outlet filters

Easy maintenance
Servicing of CFT is easy as piping can remain in-situ,
