Alpha Particulate Filter
Advancements in new technology, improved low differential pressure, and a step change in performance ensures the Alpha Particulate Filters are the ideal solution for installation downstream of regenerative compressed air and gas dryers.
Walker Filtration’s Alpha Series Particulate Filters feature a redesigned housing and new element technology – making it one of the most energy efficient filter housings on the market today. Compressed Air Dust filters are designed for the removal of dry particulates, making them perfect for installation downstream of regenerative air and gas dryers.
Designed with flow-optimisation in mind, the Alpha Series incorporates an all new advanced filter head design, specifically developed to improve air flow and performance and increase the energy efficiency within your compressed air system. Providing identical performance to our Alpha Coalescing filters, this comprehensive range of particulate filters deliver exceptional results in particle retention of up to 99.999%.
The Alpha Series of compressed air Dust filters are tested and validated to ISO 12500-3: 2009 guaranteeing the highest levels of air quality.
Up to 99.999% particle retention when tested in accordance with ISO 12500-3.
