Coalescing Microfiber Filter Cartridges for Reliable Aerosol Removal

 

Coalescing microfiber filter elements are a key component wherever liquid aerosols, fine mists or condensates must be removed from gas or liquid streams. Typical examples include the protection of analyzers, instruments, compressors and valves, as well as the conditioning of process gases in demanding industrial environments. R+F coalescing microfiber filter elements combine high separation efficiency with low differential pressure and long service life, helping you to improve process reliability and reduce operating costs.

Our coalescing cartridges are designed as direct replacements for many well‑known brands of coalescing filters, allowing you to upgrade performance and availability without changing your existing housings. With R+F FilterElements GmbH, you benefit from technically advanced media, stable quality and short lead times – all from a single, specialized partner.

 

 

How R+F Coalescing Microfiber Elements Work

R+F coalescing filter cartridges use high‑grade borosilicate glass microfiber media combined with carefully selected binders and drainage layers. The filter media is engineered to create a highly efficient depth structure: fine liquid droplets are captured within the fiber matrix, agglomerate to larger drops and then drain away from the gas or liquid stream. This coalescing effect enables the reliable removal of aerosols and fine mists at very low residual concentrations.

Our elements are typically operated from the inside to the outside, maximizing effective filtration area while ensuring even loading of the media. The result is a stable differential pressure increase over the entire service life and excellent dirt holding capacity.

OEM‑Compatible Coalescing Cartridges and Cross‑Reference Solutions

R+F coalescing microfiber filter elements are designed to be fully compatible with many common coalescing housings and cartridge designs available on the market. If you are currently using coalescing filters from other manufacturers, we can typically offer functionally equivalent or improved replacements without any modification to your existing system.

Using our comprehensive cross‑reference database, we can match your current filter part numbers to the corresponding R+F solution. This allows you to simplify your spare parts strategy, reduce purchasing complexity and benefit from short delivery times – while maintaining or even improving your filtration performance.

R+F coalescing cartridges can replace a wide range of standard coalescing filter elements used in compressed air systems, process gas conditioning and analytical instrumentation. With our cross‑reference service, you can easily identify the correct R+F coalescing element for your existing filter housing by providing the part number, dimensions or application details. Our technical team supports you in selecting the right grade, efficiency and material configuration for your process.

Send us your OEM coalescing microfiber filter element part number and your needed quantity of elements – we will provide you with the matching R+F coalescing microfiber filter cartridge, the corresponding technical data and a competitive quote.

Dimensions and Customization

Our filter elements are manufactured to high precision standards, ensuring a perfect fit in existing housings. We offer a wide range of standard dimensions as well as bespoke sizes tailored to your specific needs.

To simplify your ordering process, our part numbers are structured logically based on the physical dimensions and the required filtration grade. Typically, the first two segments of our code refer to the Inside Diameter (ID) and the Overall Length (L) in millimeters, followed by a specific Grade Designation that defines the efficiency and binder type.

  • Standard Inside Diameters: From 10mm up to 100mm
  • Standard Lengths: From 10mm up to 1000mm
  • Custom Sizes: Special dimensions are available upon request to ensure 100% compatibility with your current filtration system.
