Air Oil Separator
K Filter designs and manufacturing Air Oil Separator (ASO) filters are specifically for installation in Rotary and vane compressors play a key role in the separation process, which separates the oil, vapors, liquids, and solids from compressed air intake and prevents them from entering parts of the systems where they could harm performance.
Oil from the crankcase can get into the blow-by gases escaping from the engine cylinders. These blow-by gases need to be recirculated back into the cylinders to reduce pressure. The oil content is <1 ppm.
Take advantage of our diverse array of options to find the ideal product for your application.
K Filters are guaranteed to fit, to perform, and to sell equal to or better than the original equipment of other manufacturers and brands.

Separation of oil drops
As per the size of the drops, various effects in physical separation can make the fine drops adsorbed by the micro-glass fibers. The separation efficiency can be affected by the diameter and the number of fibers and also the flow velocity. The reaction between inertia, capillaries, and diffusion effects can be optimized if there is any design modification. The fine oil droplets that are pressed through the separation medium will come together to form larger drops. With the effect of gravity, the fine droplets sink down through the secondary separation medium on the clean side. Complete separation and redirection of the oil droplets in the airflow can be enabled by the correct choice of material together with low flow resistance. This also applies to load fluctuations around the nominal working point.
Wrap type Air Oil separators
The Wrap-type air oil separator is suitable for flow from the outside to the inside. It can be used for the entire range of current versions of screw-type and sliding vane compressors. Our standard wrap elements are particularly insensitive to design variations and achieve optimal results with regard to separation efficiency and service life.
Pressure resistance
Our standard wrap elements designed for pressure differences of at least 5 bar (0.5 MPa).
Separation efficiency
The residual oil content at nominal flow rate and at 7 bar (0.7 MPa) operating pressure is approxi-mately 1 to 3 mg/m3.
Service life
The rise in flow resistance and thus service life primarily depends on the cleanness of the oil and the quality of the air filter. A service life of several thousand hours can be achieved with a well-functioning system.
Pleated Depth Type Air Oil Separators Elements
Pleated depth air oil separators elements product takes up very little space and is suitable for the entire range of current versions of screw-type and sliding vane compressors. In the pleated depth separator element, oil flows from the outside to the inside.
Pressure Drop
The pressure drop at nominal flow rate and at 7 bar (0.7 MPa) operating pressure with a
new element is approx. 0.2 bar (20 KPa). If a higher resistance is permitted, the volumetric
flow rate can be increased to 1.5 times the nominal flow rate without downgrading
performance.
Pressure Resistance (DP)
Depth separator elements are designed for pressure differences of at least 5 bar (0.5 MPa).
Separation Efficiency filter elements
The residual oil content at nominal flow rate and at 7 bar (0.7 MPa) operating pressure is
approx. 1 to 3 mg/m3.
Service life
The rise in flow resistance and thus service life primarily depend on the cleanness of the oil
and the quality of the air filter. A service life of several thousand hours can be achieved with
a well-functioning system.
Spin On Type Air Oil Separator
Spin On type air oil separators using the same concept of the depth separator element take very little space with an additional advantage of as easy change. It’s become very common in compressors up to 5.5 m3/min however there are several applications where this Separators combined in double or triple are used in bigger compressors. The pressure drop at a nominal flow rate and at 7 bar (0.7 MPa) operating pressure with a new element is approx. 0.2 bar (20 KPa).
Pressure resistance
Depth separator elements are designed for pressure differences of at least 5 bar (0.5 MPa).
Oil Separation Efficiency
The residual oil content at a nominal flow rate and at 7 bar (0.7 MPa) operating pressure is
approx. 1 to 3 mg/m3.
Service life
The rise in flow resistance and thus service life primarily depend on the cleanness of the oil
and the quality of the air filter. The service life of usually up to 4000 hours can be achieved
with a well-functioning system.
