The Walker E30612 series of coalescing and particulate filter elements fit Walker's Alpha filter housing models A30070, A30085, and A30105. The Grade X1 element removes 1 micron particles with a maximum oil carryover of 0.3 ppm. Complies with ISO 8573-1: 2010 (maximum particle size class and maximum oil content).
Introducing the Alpha, Walker Filtration’s latest range of market leading compressed air and gas filters. With enhanced housing features and a step change in element performance, the Alpha delivers a high quality filtration solution you can trust.
Offered in a range of 18 models with connection sizes ranging from 1/8” to 3”, the Alpha Series has been tested to provide a saturated differential pressure of <1.8 psi (125 mbar) across X1 and XA grades—proving to be our most advanced filter to date.
With class leading performance and exceptional results in oil aerosol and particle retention, Alpha Compressed Air Filters deliver significantly reduced pressure loss and optimum filtration efficiencies—to ensure continually low operational costs.
