Air Breather

Product Details:

Coalescing air/oil separation technology is highly effective at capturing oil mist from the exhaust of an oil sealed/ lubricated vacuum pump and keeping surrounding work environments clean and safe. Each pump technology produces its own specific oil discharge characteristics and requires the appropriate housing and element configuration to optimize performance. Critical factors that influence performance of a coalescing air/oil separator include quality of the oil, equipment type, oil type and viscosity, challenge rate, process gas characteristics, operating temperature, operating vacuum level, and maximum air flow rating of the pump. Because of these variables, it is always best to work with Solberg personnel when selecting and sizing a vacuum pump discharge filter. However, Solberg’s standard product lines will perform well in most general duty applications. The following guidelines will help when selecting a standard product
