Product Review

The SAMG series water separator is installed on the air pressure line to remove water drops from compressed air; water removal rate is 99 percent. It is available in 7 sizes with a variety of optional combinations to meet your application requirements. Installation Install units so the airflow is in the direction "IN-OUT" as indicated by arrow on the head of the unit. Install water separator as close as possible to the pneumatic equipment, tools, or appliances being serviced. Water Separator must be installed in vertical, downstream position for proper function. In most cases, an SAF particulate pre-filter with a 10 micron element is recommended to greatly extend the life of the element. When the element becomes clogged with dirt, it must be replaced. A pre-filter will remove water and dirt before it reaches the Water Separator and will reduce maintenance costs. Do not install polycarbonate bowl in pressure that exceeds 150 PSI or where there is a presence of solvents harmful to polycarbonate. In these cases, use a metal bowl. Operation & Adjustments SAMG, Water Separators eliminate water droplets up to 99% in compressed air line systems, pneumatic equipment and tools. Filter element should be replaced after 2 years of using or when pressure drop exceeds 10 PSI (1.0kgf/cm²). Operating the filter at a pressure drop in excess of 10PSI will greatly reduce the efficiency of the filter. If oil appears downstream: 1) check downstream air lines to be sure that they are free of residual oil; 2) check to see that the O-ring of the filter element is in good condition and installed properly.
