Air Filters

Air filters are devices used to remove impurities and contaminants from air in various applications, such as heating and cooling systems, engines, and laboratory equipment.

The primary function of air filters is to protect equipment and improve indoor air quality by removing particles such as dust, pollen, and pet dander.

Air filters can be made from a variety of materials, including paper, mesh, and foam, and can be disposable or reusable.

The type of air filter used depends on the specific application, the level of filtration required, and the operating conditions. Air filters play a crucial role in maintaining the performance and longevity of air-moving equipment and improving indoor air quality.

Proper maintenance and replacement of air filters can help extend the life of equipment and improve air quality.

RICO Europe supply over 3000 different types of air filter. Browse our range below.

  • Air / Oil Separators

    Air oil separator filters are components in compressed air systems that separate oil from the compressed air stream to prevent contamination of the air and protect downstream equipment.

    They work by removing entrained oil droplets and condensate from the compressed air, improving air quality and reducing the risk of damage to pneumatic tools and other equipment.

    Air oil separator filters are available in different designs and sizes to match the demands of various types of compressed air systems and applications, and are often designed to operate in harsh industrial environments.

    They are typically easy to install and maintain, and have a long service life, reducing operating costs and downtime.

    Using high-quality air oil separator filters that meet relevant standards and regulations, such as ISO 8573, is important to ensure proper performance and to avoid damage to the equipment or harm to the environment.

    RICO Europe provide Air Oil Seperator Filters for many compressors including Ingersoll Rand, Atlas Copco, and more.

  • Channel Flow

    Channel Flow Air Filters

    Channel Flow air filters provide superior filtration solutions in a lightweight, compact design for easy installation in less space. This straight-through air flow technology not only allows for less installation space, but offers manufacturers flexibility in design configuration.

    The channel Flow filter has more surface area than a traditional air filter, while requiring the same or less installation space. The Channel Flow media is formed by layering alternating rows of flat sheets and corrugated media. When completed, the media resembles a honeycomb network of channels.

    As the media pack is formed, alternating channels are sealed with a bead of adhesive. Air enters open channels and flows through the media and out through adjacent open channels.

    Increased air flow is needed for higher performance engines. Increased air flow is also needed to meet tougher exhaust emission standards. 

    With a traditional air filter, air typically enters through the side of the filter housing. The air must then work its way around the filter element, pass through the media, then turn 90° to exit the filter. By eliminating the turns the air needs to make in a traditional air filter, in-line air filters reduce restriction.

  • Conical

    Conical Shaped Air Filters, also known as cone air filters, are cylindrical filters with a conical shape at one end.

    They are commonly used in automotive and motorsports applications to filter the incoming air in an engine.

    The conical shape provides a larger surface area compared to a cylindrical filter, resulting in improved filtration and increased airflow.

    These filters typically consist of a pleated paper or cotton element surrounded by a metal mesh and a rubber sealing base.

    Conical air filters offer improved engine performance, better fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions compared to traditional flat air filters.

    They are durable, easy to install, and provide excellent filtration efficiency.

  • Dryer

    Air dryer filters are components in air compressors and air dryer systems that remove moisture, oil, and other contaminants from compressed air. 

    They work by filtering and purifying the air entering the system, preventing moisture and contaminants from entering downstream equipment and affecting performance and reliability. 

    Air dryer filters are available in different designs and sizes to match the demands of various types of air compressors and air dryer systems, and are often designed to provide a high level of filtration performance. 

    They are typically easy to replace and maintain, and have a long service life, reducing operating costs and downtime. Using high-quality air dryer filters that meet relevant standards and regulations, such as ISO 8573, is important to ensure proper performance and to avoid damage to the equipment or harm to the environment.
