Prevost Replacement Cartridge for MF Series Filters

Description

Prevost Replacement Cartridge for MF Filters

Restore Your Compressed Air Purity and Protect Your Pneumatic Investment

The Prevost MFM Replacement Cartridge is the genuine factory-standard filter element designed for the MFM “Regular Filtration” series. This high-efficiency cartridge serves as the primary line of defense in your air preparation system, capturing solid particles, dust, and liquid water droplets that can cause premature wear on pneumatic tools and automated machinery.

Regular replacement of your MFM cartridge is essential to maintaining low pressure drops and ensuring the longevity of downstream submicron filters (MFB) or charcoal filters (MFC).

Key Features

• High-Efficiency 1-Micron Rating: Specifically engineered to trap 99.9% of solid contaminants and large liquid aerosols down to 1 µm. This ensures that the air reaching your tools is clean and “dry” from bulk debris.
• Low Pressure Drop Design: The pleated media provides an exceptionally large surface area, allowing for high flow rates (CFM) while minimizing energy loss from the compressor.
• Progressive Depth Filtration: Features a graduated density structure that traps larger particles on the surface while capturing finer debris within the inner layers, preventing premature clogging and extending the service life.
• Chemically Resistant Media: Constructed from durable materials that are fully compatible with synthetic and mineral-based compressor oils, as well as typical industrial environments.
• Easy “Tool-Free” Replacement: Designed for quick swaps. Once the filter bowl is depressurized, the cartridge can be removed and replaced in seconds, minimizing maintenance downtime.

Why Genuine Prevost Cartridges Matter

Using “will-fit” or generic cartridges can lead to significant issues in your air network. Only genuine Prevost MFM elements guarantee:

1. The Perfect Seal: Prevents “bypass” air from leaking around the edges of the filter.
2. Structural Integrity: Guaranteed not to collapse under high-pressure surges (up to 232 PSI).
3. Silicon-Free Production: Essential for facilities involved in painting, coating, or electronics assembly.

Maintenance Tip

When should you replace your cartridge?

• Visual Indicator: If your filter unit is equipped with a differential pressure gauge, replace the element when the needle enters the red zone.
• Pressure Loss: If you notice a drop in tool performance or a pressure differential exceeding 5-7 PSI.
• Time-Based: In standard 8-hour shift environments, it is recommended to change the MFM cartridge every 6 to 12 months.
