SMC unveiled series AFJ vacuum filter for large flows that removes both dust and water droplets, extending the life of pneumatic systems. The AFJ series is suitable for a wide range of applications and can operate under high flow rate conditions reaching 660 l/min for the dust type, and 500 l/min for the water drop / dust type. Featuring a range of selectable nominal filtration ratings of 5 µm, 40 µm and 80 µm, the higher two rated filter elements within the AFJ are washable and reusable, offering customers flexibility and cost savings.
The transparent polycarbonate double layer bowl design ensure excellent visibility, making it possible for operators to check the filter element from every angle. Further visibility is achieved with an adapted convex body that also features a bowl lock button, allowing for easy and quick in-hand maintenance and element replacement. An external bowl guard provides environmental resistance against chemicals and other corrosive substances, increasing the filter’s lifespan. The AFJ is available in several body and port sizes, with selectable left or right direction, delivering further flexibility, ease of use and maintenance.
