Fleetguard manufactures separators specifically for installation in rotary screw and rotary vane compressors and they are available in vertical, horizontal and spin on configurations. Their purpose is to separate the oil droplets from the compressed air, thereby producing cleaner air and allowing the oil to be scavenged and re-circulated in the compressor. Fleetguard separators are manufactured to satisfy oem needs in terms of: physical principle of air/oil separation; element dimensions according to the compressor`s performance and tank dimension; oil consumption to ensure a correct functional performance; use of high grade filtration and separation media to ensure the best quality clean air needed for industrial applications. Corrosion resistant materials are used in the construction of the air/oil separators. Careful welding procedures and the use of the latest twin pack adhesive ensure that the element has high mechanical strength and can endure operating temperature up to 120ºc. At a nominal working pressure of 7 bar, the pressure drop on a new element varies between approximately 0.15 and 0.25 bar. By using our separators, the oil carryover after separation is limited to about 1 to 3 ppm.
