Lack of adhesion, dust, fish eyes and other problems on coated surfaces are usually the result of problems in the compressed air supply. These mistakes are expensive. They can be avoided with professional air filters. Raw air, piped directly from an air source to a spray gun, is of little use in spray finishing. Raw air contains small, but harmful quantities of water, oil, dirt and other contaminants that will alter the quality of the sprayed finish. Air filters filter out these contaminants before they get on your paint job. Air entering the filter is swirled to remove moisture that collects in the baffled quiet zone. Accumulated liquid is carried away through either a manual or automatic drain.

GOAL The ultimate goal of air filtration is to remove all oil, dirt and water from the air while maintaining good CFM air flow.
