Additional Information

Additional Information

Hankison® filters remove more contaminants with less pressure drop through housings that have large flow areas. Compare the operating pressure drop of competitive brands and remember that for every extra 2 psi of pressure drop, power input needs to be increased by 1%. A systems approach has been used to allow for convenient matching of filter types to achieve the air quality you desire, while comprehensive third party testing guarantees performance to CAGI (Compressed Air And Gas Institute), ISO (International Standards Organization) and PNEUROP (European Committee of Manufacturers of Compressors, Vacuum Pumps and Pneumatic Tools) standards.

With a greater selection of filter grades, more models to choose from and worldwide technical and service support, Hankison® offers a systemized solution for your compressed air quality needs.

Quality Compressed Air

Quality Compressed Air

A typical compressed air system is contaminated with abrasive solid particles such as dust, dirt, rust and scale, compressor lubricants (mineral or synthetic), condensed water droplets and acidic condensates and oil and hydrocarbon vapors.

If not removed, these contaminants increase pneumatic equipment maintenance costs, lead to instrument and control failure, contribute to poor product fit and finish, and contaminate processes.

The right Hankison® filter or filter system will remove these contaminants allowing your compressed air system to deliver the quality of air required by your application - whether it's plant air, instrument air, medical air or helping to ensure consistent output quality while minimizing operating costs.

Engineered for Efficiency

Modular Housings for Flows through 780 scfm

  • Manufactured from top quality aluminum, zinc and steel
