9. Industrial Filters

Beyond compressed air, SMC also offers industrial filters for various fluids including industrial water, cooling water, cutting fluids, cleaning solutions, and lubricating oils — covering a wide range of industrial applications.

SMC Filter Maintenance Guide

When to Replace Filter Elements

• Scheduled Replacement: Replace annually, or when the element pressure drop reaches 0.1 MPa
• Visual Inspection: AME ultra mist separator elements feature a red spot indicator — replace when red spots become visible
• Pressure Gauge Monitoring: Monitor the pressure differential across the filter to assess element clogging
• Outlet Air Quality Testing: Replace relevant elements immediately if oil mist or odours are detected at the outlet

Element Selection Tips

• Identify Your Filter Model: Cross-reference with the tables above to find the matching element model
• Match Filtration Rating to Application: General pneumatic tools require 5 μm; precision instruments demand 0.01 μm
• Check Large-Flow Models: High-flow models (e.g. AFF75A–220A, AMD800–1000, AMF800–1000) have different connection dimensions — verify before ordering
• Stock Spares: Keep an annual supply of replacement elements on hand to avoid production downtime from out-of-stock shortages
