FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide All Milton Filters, Regulators and Lubricators (FRL), have been engineered and designed specifically for a high performing air compressor system. By utilizing the correct combination of Milton filters, regulators and lubricators you will not only ensure that your air system is running properly, but you will also be prolonging the life of your tools and maximizing your investment by ensuring you have Simply Better Air.
PAGE 2
FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide Smaller is better – The more rapidly the air is swirled, the more effectively the water condensate is thrown out against the filter wall. If you pass the same volume of air (SCFM) through a small filter and a large filter, it will swirl more rapidly in the small filter. Although you may think a big filter is more effective, the reverse may actually be true if too little air passes through.

FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide Metal bowl vs. polycarbonate bowl - The advantage of the poly bowl is in quick and easy water level checking. If you have a situation where water may fill the bowl before the overnight drain can function (e.g. high humidity), it is helpful to be able to visually check water level. Other than this, the advantage is with the metal bowl. This is especially true if you are using synthetic oils in your compressor or have volatile solvents in the area.

FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide OTHER FILTERS Sometimes a Micro-Filter alone is not the answer. Although they remove much of the water, in some applications =, such as spray painting, it’s not enough. When you need exceptionally dry air or essentially oil-free air, you can choose from two other filter types: (1) the desiccant dryer and (2) the oil removing filter. The desiccant dryer filter - This is the ultimate filter for dry air, it takes over where the Micro-Filter leaves off.
PAGE 5
FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide A special series of Sub-Micron Oil Removing Filters is available for this purpose. It will remove particles down to 0.9 microns (0.03 microns for coalescing filters), over forty to one hundred times as small as those extracted by the standard Micro-Filter. This is small enough to capture oil vapors (e.g., compressor blow-by) as well as water mist too fine to be removed by a standard filter.
PAGE 6
FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide Two types available – Lubricators come in two basic styles: (1) the drip type and (2) the wick type. The drip type is the most popular and the one best suited to the average repair shop application. The wick type is normally used for industrial applications. The drip type – This style injects lubrication into the system by allowing oil drops periodically to drop into the air stream. The rate at which the drops enter the steam is fully adjustable.

FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide WARNINGS CHEMICALS NOT TO BE USED WITH POLY BOWLS Do not use synthetic oils or oils containing phosphate esters or chlorinated hydrocarbons. They can carry over from the compressor into the air lines and attach or crack poly bowls. Do not expose these bowls, even from external sources, to: carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, acetone, paint thinner, cleaning fluids and similar materials.

FILTERS, REGULATORS AND LUBRICATORS Use & Care Guide FILTER - Care - & Maintenance Inspect all filter elements regularly to ensure no contaminents are allowed into the lines. Clean or replace your filter elements regularly to ensure the optimum performance level. Replace particulate and lubricant removal elements when pressure drop exceeds 2-3 psi. Desiccant Dryer Filter – check the desiccant regularly for a change in color from blueish-white to pink.
