Oil Separator Cartridge Filter FILME LB962/2 for Screw Air Compressor

Description

Product Overview

The FILME LB962/2 oil separator cartridge filter is a precision‑engineered component designed specifically for screw‑type air compressors used in a wide range of industrial applications. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel mesh and reinforced polymer media, the filter provides superior oil‑capture efficiency while allowing unrestricted airflow. Each cartridge measures 12 × 4.7 × 4.4 inches and weighs 2.44 pounds, making it easy to handle during installation or replacement. The filter’s internal geometry is optimized to create a turbulent flow path that encourages oil droplets to coalesce and separate from the airstream, delivering consistently clean air to downstream equipment such as regulators, lubricators, and pneumatic tools.

Key specifications include a model number LB962/2, OEM part numbers matching the original equipment manufacturer, and compliance with industry standards for compressed‑air filtration. The cartridge is compatible with a variety of screw compressor models, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for additional adapters or modifications. Its durable construction is rated for extended service intervals, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for facilities that rely on continuous compressed‑air operation.

Usage

Designed for demanding environments, the FILME LB962/2 filter excels in manufacturing plants, automotive workshops, food‑processing facilities, and any setting where clean, oil‑free compressed air is critical. The filter is installed directly into the compressor’s air intake line, positioned upstream of the regulator and lubricator to capture oil before it can reach sensitive components. Its straightforward, bolt‑on design allows technicians to replace the cartridge in minutes, minimizing production interruptions.

Because the filter efficiently removes oil, it helps extend the life of downstream equipment, reduces the risk of contamination in paint‑spraying operations, and maintains the integrity of medical‑grade air systems. The cartridge’s robust media can withstand high pressure differentials and temperature variations typical of industrial air‑compression cycles, making it a reliable choice for continuous‑run applications.

FAQ

What compressors are compatible with the LB962/2 filter?

The LB962/2 cartridge is compatible with most screw‑type air compressors that use standard 12 × 4.7 × 4.4 inch filter housings. It matches OEM part numbers for several major brands, making it a direct replacement for original filters.

How often should the filter be replaced?

Replacement intervals depend on operating conditions such as air‑flow volume, oil load, and ambient environment. For typical industrial use, we recommend inspecting the filter every 6 months and replacing it when pressure‑drop exceeds the manufacturer’s specified limit or when visual oil buildup is evident.

Can the filter be cleaned and reused?

The LB962/2 cartridge is designed for single‑use to guarantee optimal filtration performance. While some users attempt to clean the media, doing so can compromise the filter’s efficiency and is not covered under the warranty.

What are the benefits of using an oil separator filter?

Oil separator filters remove microscopic oil particles from the compressed‑air stream, preventing contamination of pneumatic tools, reducing wear on valves and seals, and ensuring compliance with industry air‑quality standards. This leads to lower maintenance costs and higher overall system reliability.

Is there technical assistance available for installation?

Yes. FILME provides detailed installation manuals, video tutorials, and a dedicated support line staffed by engineers who can guide you through the installation process and answer any technical questions.
