Vacuum filters

Vacuum filters

Vacuum pumps and ejectors must be impermeable to parts, dust particles and moisture. FIPA vacuum filters prevent damage to vacuum generators.

The FIPA filtration technology includes large volume pump filters that use paper cartridges and steel cartridges. Universal filters with steel inserts are suitable for dry and wet environments. Pre-filters with paper inserts are designed for use in dry environments.

FIPA condensate separators prevent the condensation and moisture from accumulating in the vacuum system and thus contribute to the protection of pumps and ejectors against damage.

Regardless of the filter type, all FIPA filter cartridges are easy and quick to replace and thus guarantee minimum maintenance time.

Plug-in filters

  • Trapping impurities and liquids which can be suctioned via the vacuum cup or other systems
  • To protect vacuum components (e.g. ejectors) from damage or excessive wear
  • 71.000 - 71.004: economical use due to replaceable filter cartridges 

Disposable filters

  • 71.030: Separation of very fine particles with a 7μm filter mesh
  • 71.031: Separation of coarse particles, dust and dirt using a 152μm filter unit

Pump filters / pre-filters with paper cartridge, grade of filtration 5 – 7 [µm]

  • For use directly on the suction opening of vacuum pumps
  • To protect vacuum pumps from damage or excessive wear
  • High filtration efficiency due to large filter surface
  • Robust metallic housing for long service life
  • Quick fastener for prompt checking or replacement of the filter cartridge
  • The number of fast-closing is dependent on the filter size (2-4)

Pump filters / pre-filters with paper cartridge, grade of filtration 25 – 30 [µm]

  • For use directly on the suction opening of dry-running rotary vane pumps
  • To protect vacuum pumps from damage or excessive wear
  • High filtration efficiency due to large filter surface
  • Light-weight plastic housing
  • Inspection glass to monitor the filtration effect
  • Examples of use: graphics, textile and pharmaceutical industries

Universal filter with steel cartridge

  • To protect vacuum pumps from damage or excessive wear
  • Separation of coarser particles, dust and dirt
  • Resistant filter elements made of stainless steel (INOX)
  • Filter incl. condensate trap
  • FB 5 to FB 20: Filter bowl made of transparent plastic
  • FB 25 to FB 60: Filter bowl made of die cast aluminum
