Product Description
Festo MS6-LFX-1/2-U-HF Activated Carbon Filter for Clean Compressed Air
The Festo MS6-LFX-1/2-U-HF is an MS series activated carbon filter designed for compressed air preparation where very low residual oil content is required. As part of the Festo MS service unit range, it is suitable for modular air preparation assemblies used in industrial pneumatic systems.
This filter is especially useful in applications where clean air quality directly affects process reliability, product quality, or pneumatic component life. With a high standard flow rate, G1/2 connections, and a robust metal bowl construction, it is a practical choice for plant engineers looking for genuine Festo air preparation components in Coimbatore.
Key Features
- Activated carbon filter design — helps reduce residual oil content in compressed air for sensitive pneumatic applications.
- MS series size 6 construction — suitable for modular Festo MS air preparation combinations.
- 2500 l/min maximum standard flow rate — supports higher air consumption lines without unnecessary restriction.
- G1/2 pneumatic connections — commonly used port size for medium-flow industrial compressed air systems.
- 0 bar to 20 bar operating pressure range — suitable for a wide range of pneumatic service line conditions.
- Compressed air output class ISO 8573-1:2010 [1:4:1] — helps achieve defined clean air quality at the outlet.
- 0.003 mg/m³ residual oil content — suitable where oil vapour reduction is important for downstream equipment or process air.
- Integrated metal bowl guard — provides stronger protection compared with exposed bowl designs.
- Die-cast aluminium housing — robust body construction for industrial use.
- RoHS-compliant materials — suitable for modern industrial procurement and compliance requirements.
