Atlas Copco has launched the UD+ coalescing compressed air filter, which combines two filtration processes in one product.
The technology is the newest addition to Atlas Copco’s extensive line of compressed air filter solutions. This two-in-one filter combines the reliability and performance of wrapped filters with a reduction in pressure drops against pleated filters. The UD+ helps manufacturers achieve energy savings, efficiency gains and reliably clean compressed air, Atlas Copco has said.
As a brand spokesperson explained, “traditionally, two inline filters are needed to bring oil aerosol and solid particles in the compressed air down to acceptable levels for most applications… The UD+ replaces those two filters, saving space and reducing pressure drops by 40%. Extensive testing has shown that the UD+ achieves the excellent air quality of two traditional filters, thanks to the glass fibre filter media package that is wrapped around the filter.”
Atlas Copco business line manager for industrial air Paul Clark added: “Our compressed air solutions are of the highest quality, so our air treatment solutions should be too. With the UD+, we have launched a compressed air filter innovation that saves space, energy and money without compromising on reliability and air quality.”
