Trubind 700 absorbent cartridges
Parker Filtration has introduced Trubind 700 - which removes free, emulsified and dissolved oils in many process fluids
These features make the BA-series ideal as the filtration component of a breathing air system or for food and packaging applications.
The unique design of the BA-series incorporates both filtration stages in one filter housing.
The first coalescing stage removes particulate and liquid droplets.
The Parker Q-type media used in this stage is a micro-glass coalescer with a difference.
A built-in pleated prefilter ensures a long life and in combination with a low-pressure drop the cost of ownership for users is significantly lower.
The second stage of the BA-series filter is activated carbon.
This removes hydrocarbon vapours from the compressed air supply.
Although the BA-series will remove particulate, liquid droplets and hydrocarbons, it cannot remove toxic gases such as carbon monoxide.
This is the same for all coalescing and activated carbon filters and why it's best to use a carbon monoxide monitor to check for this taste and odour free gas.
BA-series filters make life easier as there's only one filter to install.
Parker has also thought through the maintenance issues and offers convenient BA Series maintenance kits.
The kits contain one coalescing filter element and two adsorber filters plus replacement seals.
There is only one coalescing element supplied because of its long life. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin - Filter Division ...
