Notes on filters suitable for paint
Compressed air systems and filters suitable for paint are used to apply paint onto
surfaces. Such equipment must meet extremely high standards as regards the purity of
the compressed air, as even minute particles contained in the air might lead to scratches,
uneven coating, bubbles, etc. Also tiny quantities of contaminants or solvents containing
oil or grease, and in particular silicone, might have a negative effect on the quality of the
paintwork. Units and filters that are suitable for paint must therefore be protected against
any contamination from silicone or grease. Please take this into account when working at
the filters!
Notes on transportation and installation
The transportation — in particular of larger build type filters — may be carried out by
specialist personnel only.
Filters damaged during transportation must not be installed.
Take into account the weight of the filter during assembly, and, if necessary, fit a
support device. The filter mounting must be designed such that the weight of a filter
completely filled with fluid is safely supported.
There must always be a direct connection to a safety device for maintaining the
maximum working pressure and the permissible fluid temperature.
Notes on filter operation
Only use the filter in accordance with the minimum and maximum operating conditions
specified on the type plate.
Without prior approval by the manufacturer, no conversions and modifications must be
made to the filters! Any non-approved modifications endanger the operational safety
and may cause damage or personal injury.
Avoid sudden pressure
fluctuations on pressure build-up and de-pressurization. If the
pressure builds up or drops, too quickly, this may cause damage to the filter.
Whilst the pressure unit is in operation, the filter surfaces can become extremely hot.
Always remember this when working on the filter.
When using accessories with an external power supply, there is a hazard from
electrical voltage. Therefore, work on electrical components must be carried out in a
voltage-free condition.
Notes on maintenance
Always maintain the prescribed service intervals. If these are not complied with, the
filter may not function correctly and the manufacturer does not accept any liability
whatever for any possible consequences.
Repairs and maintenance should be carried out by specialist personnel only.
Notes on disassembly and disposal
The filter housing and elements might be contaminated by substances held back in
the filter. Therefore always read the material safety data sheet of the respective fluid.
Dispose of all components of the filter according to the applicable statutory
regulations.
