Prevost ALTO Replacement Filter Elements

Description

Prevost ALTO Replacement Filter Elements

The First Line of Defense for Your Compressed Air System

Maintain the peak performance and longevity of your air preparation system with genuine Prevost ALTO Filter Elements. Designed specifically for the ALTO series (Filter and Filter-Regulator units), these high-quality replacement elements are essential for stripping harmful contaminants from your air stream before they reach your expensive tools and machinery.

Over time, filter elements become saturated with oil, water aerosols, and solid particulates. Replacing them regularly ensures minimal pressure drop and maximum protection for your downstream equipment.

Key Features

• Precision Porosity: Available in multiple filtration grades (typically 25 micron for standard industrial use or 5 micron for fine-particle sensitive applications) to match the specific needs of your workspace.
• High Flow, Low Resistance: Engineered to provide a high surface area, these elements allow for maximum CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) throughput while maintaining a low pressure differential, ensuring your tools don’t lose power.
• Multi-Layered Protection: The advanced synthetic material is designed to coalesce liquid water and oil droplets while trapping solid pipe scale, rust, and dust.
• Chemical & Oil Resistance: Constructed from high-grade technical fibers and resins that withstand the harsh environment of a pressurized air line containing synthetic and mineral oils.
• Tool-Free Replacement: Designed for a perfect fit within the ALTO bowl assembly, allowing for quick and easy maintenance during routine shop inspections.

Why Use Genuine Prevost Elements?

Using “will-fit” or generic filter elements can lead to bypass—where air escapes around the seal—or premature clogging that starves your tools of air. Genuine Prevost ALTO elements are precision-molded to provide a perfect airtight seal within the filter housing. Regular replacement of the element prevents “carryover,” where liquid water is forced through a saturated filter and into your air lines, causing tool corrosion and paint defects.

When to Replace Your Filter Element

• Visible Discoloration: If the element appears dark, oily, or yellowed when inspected through the transparent bowl.
• Pressure Drop: If you notice a significant decrease in downstream pressure when tools are in use.
• Scheduled Maintenance: As part of an annual or semi-annual shop safety and efficiency audit.
• Downstream Moisture: If water begins appearing at the tool end despite the drain functioning correctly.
