Micro Filter Metal Bowl 1/4 In NPT 6 Oz 48 SCFM Max - Milton Industries

The Milton Industries 1018-8 Micro Filter is engineered to deliver clean, dry compressed air, which is essential for maintaining the optimal performance and extended lifespan of professional automotive and industrial pneumatic equipment. This robust filter effectively removes moisture, particulates, and various contaminants from air lines, protecting sensitive tools, spray equipment, and critical systems from premature wear and operational downtime.

Key Features

• Advanced 40-Micron Filtration: Equipped with a 40-micron porous bronze sintered filter element and a 3-stage baffle system, this micro filter efficiently captures fine particulates, water, oil condensate, pipe scale, dirt, and rust, ensuring consistent air quality for demanding professional applications.
• Durable Metal Bowl Construction: Featuring a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant metal bowl with a 6 oz capacity, this unit is built to withstand harsh shop and industrial environments while reliably collecting accumulated moisture and contaminants.
• High-Capacity Airflow: Designed to handle up to 48 SCFM at 100 PSI with a maximum pressure rating of 250 PSI, it supports professional air systems, including those operating multiple air tools simultaneously without compromising performance.
• Dual-Action Condensate Management: The pre-assembled internal automatic overnight drain activates when air pressure drops or liquid accumulates, complemented by a manual drain for on-demand purging, providing flexible and reliable condensate removal.
• Seamless Integration: Standard 1/4" NPT inlet/outlet threads allow for straightforward integration into existing shop air plumbing, FRL (Filter, Regulator, Lubricator) setups, and various pneumatic systems, making installation quick and efficient.

Applications

• Automotive Repair & Maintenance: Ideal for protecting sensitive pneumatic tools such as impact wrenches, ratchets, grinders, sanders, and diagnostic equipment that rely on clean, dry air for optimal performance and extended lifespan in busy garage environments.
• Paint & Body Finishing: Ensures a contaminant-free air supply for spray guns and paint booths, critical for achieving high-quality, blemish-free finishes without defects caused by moisture or particulates.
• Industrial Manufacturing: Provides reliable pre-filtration for manufacturing lines, protecting downstream components like coalescing filters, regulators, and pneumatic actuators from damage and operational inefficiencies.
• General Compressed Air Systems: Essential for any professional setup where safeguarding valves, cylinders, and other air-powered tools from airborne contaminants is a priority, contributing to overall system reliability and reduced maintenance.
