Kaeser Oil Separators

The air compressor oil separator 6.4273.0 is a critical component in the operation of an air compressor. Its primary function is to separate oil from the compressed air to ensure that the air supplied to the end-user is clean and free of oil contamination. This process is essential for maintaining the quality of the compressed air and protecting downstream equipment from potential damage due to oil carryover.

 As compressed air exits the compressor's cylinder, it carries with it a mist of oil that is used for lubrication. This air-oil mixture enters the separator, where the high velocity forces the air to change direction, causing the oil droplets to impact the filtration media and coalesce. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning or replacement of the filtration elements, is crucial to ensure the separator's effectiveness and to prevent pressure drops that can reduce the compressor's performance. Our well-functioning oil separator 6.4273.0 not only maintains air quality but also extends the life of the compressor and the equipment that uses the compressed air.
