Why Do I Need a Mist Eliminator?

Do you really need a mist-eliminator?

What is a Mist-Eliminator? Mist Eliminator separate out water, oil and particulates from the air by using a coalescing filter. Mist eliminators are a heavy-duty coalescing type filter that combine motion along with a barrier filter to remove particulates, condensate and oil from process air.

So what's the big deal? Removing oil, mist and particles protect the investment in your plant equipment, improve your product quality and reduce your energy cost.

How's it work? Compressed air purification equipment must have a very low pressure drop, long service life and be strong enough to withstand the most strenuous operating conditions. Protection from oil slugs or compressor air/oil separator failure is essential.

Other Ways to Protect your Compressor

Separators & Filters

Filter separates impurities such as water and solid particles. Not using filters in combination with tools or equipment leads to shorter service life, higher maintenance costs and lower efficiency.

Line Filters

Original filter elements eliminate oil particles and condensate to make sure you can rely on your compressor for optimal performance.

Lubricants

Original compressor lubricants have a unique formula designed for optimal performance, maximizing compressor lifetime and keeping operational costs to a minimum.

Air Treatment

We offer the latest in air treatment for compressor air systems. Air dryers, oil-water separator, ECObox, and more.

Just like any other equipment, a compressed air installation also requires the necessary maintenance work during its entire lifespan. Even though maintenance costs are only about 5 to 10% of a machine's annual operating costs, failure to budget for maintenance can have potentially disastrous consequences.


The air dyer is one of the most ignored cooler in the system. A dirty condenser will cause water in the lines, or worse it will cause complete dryer failure.
