The Concept:
The Microfilters are designed to work efficiently either on their own or in several combinations depending on the application.

Microfilter Series V:
The prefilter range mainly takes out particles from the compressed air. Thanks to the use of materials specifically developed for this duty, the user enjoys a long service life with constant efficiency. The efficiency is 99.99% of all particles of 3 micron and larger. Fine Particles smaller than 3 micron are fine particles such as dust and particularly oil aerosols which must be filtered out by a fine filter. This is where the newly developed high efficiency depth Microfilter with its various grades are used.

Microfilter Series Z:
Efficiency 99.99% at 1 micron. Oil retention down to 0.5ppm at 100 psig and 68ºF.

Microfilter Series Y:
Efficiency 99.99% at 0.01 micron. Oil retention down to 0.01ppm at 100 psig and 68ºF.

Microfilter Series X:
Efficiency 99.9999% at 0.01 micron. Oil retention down to 0.01ppm at 100 psig and 68ºF. If an even better quality of compressed air than the series X filter is required to remove oil vapors, then an adsorption type filter is required.

Microfilter Series A:
The Microfilter series A incorporates an activated carbon bed which adsorbs oil vapor. It is always preceded by a Microfilter series X to remove all oil aerosols.

ZANDER Filter Technology
Zander has nearly two decades of experience using pleated filters as sterile filters, prefilters and adsorption filters in compressed air and gases. This experience has been incorporated in the latest ZANDER filter manufacturing facility. The market dictates that the filter media have various degrees of efficiency so the four phases of filtration have different separation characteristics.

PLEATING:
The pleating of the medium increases its stability under changing loads and reduces the specific surface tension. The results from this, is a higher load factor compared with conventional filters. This increases the flow capabilities and the dirt holding capacity.

• High flow capabilities
• Low differential pressure
• High dirt holding capacity by integrating the prefilter medium with the various final filtration layers
• Long service life
• High product quality due to the latest manufacturing techniques.
