Product OverviewBalston higher flow rate ASME-stamped coalescing compressed air filters provide high-efficiency liquid and particulate separation at very high flow rates. Units accept 3 in to 10 in line sizes and deliver capacities up to 37,350 SCFM (63,450 m3/h) at 100 psig / 7 barg. Standard carbon steel housings are ASME code stamped and rated for the specified maximum operating pressures. LF/FF series support line-mount and floor-mount installations; selected models include swing-bolt enclosures for easier internal access. Filter cartridges are sealed by a threaded retainer cap onto a rigid tie rod to ensure leak-tight end seals and simplified replacement.
