Stainless steel compressed air filter A1X AFX12 - G 1/2", 5 micron 3,030 l/min · max. inlet pressure 60 bar
Code: AFX12Related products
Product detailed description

The A1X compressed air filter with a G 1/2" thread is made entirely of AISI 316 stainless steel. The 5 µm stainless steel element traps dirt and water droplets, and the condensate is drained from the bowl semi-automatically. It withstands an inlet pressure of up to 60 bar.

What it is for
It is suitable as a standalone filter before a consumer or a regulator in environments where aluminium or plastic would corrode, and for high pressure too.
Maintenance
The condensate leaves by itself after the pressure in the bowl drops; in continuous operation, drain it from time to time. Check the stainless steel element and clean it when it is clogged.

Ventilek’s tip
The flow drops with a finer element. The manufacturer states the flow with a 40 µm element. With the 5 µm element fitted as standard, expect a lower flow and a greater pressure drop.

| Rich experience is complemented by a wide product range. One of the traditional suppliers of pneumatic components is API (Advanced Pneumatic Industries), a company founded in the late 1980s near Milan, Italy. More than three decades of experience have helped API refine the manufacturing of all pneumatic components. At the turn of the new millennium, the company invested a large amount in its own development and thus began its own production of valves and cylinders. Since 2007, API's catalogue has included the widest possible range in its field, and its products are quickly shipped worldwide. The company currently offers manufacturing and assembly of valves, cylinders and mounting accessories not only in aluminium and steel but also in stainless steel materials. Beyond its standard range, API also stands out with the ability to supply solutions such as the assembly of valve terminals or special ATEX designs. | ![]() |
