Alpha Coalescing Filter
Walker Filtration’s Alpha Series Coalescing Compressed Air Filters feature a redesigned housing and a step change in element performance– making it one of the most energy efficient filter housings available on the market today.
Designed with flow-optimization in mind, the Alpha Coalescing Series features an all new advanced filter head design which, when combined with the Alpha filter element, significantly improves the air flow, increases the energy efficiency, and enhances the overall performance of your compressed air system.
Available in four filtration grades (X5 – 5 micron, X1 – 1 micron, XA – 0.01 micron, and AC – Activated Carbon), Alpha elements deliver significant energy savings. The XA and X1 grades guarantee world-class performance by achieving a saturated differential pressure of < 1.8 psi; providing lower lifetime costs and the highest of air quality.
The Alpha Series of Compressed Air Coalescing Filters are tested and validated to ISO 12500-1: 2007, guaranteeing the highest levels of air quality.
Market leading differential pressure of <1.8 psi across X1 and XA grades.
