What should you look for when purchasing an industrial vacuum pump filter?
Don’t void your warranty. Often filters are parts of the components which can void a warranty if not the using genuine
Quality is key. Low quality filters will inevitably allow more debris, particles and contaminants into your process. Low quality filters tend to allow a higher amount of particulates to pass through it. They also block and fail sooner and require replacing more often that their higher quality counterparts. In the long-term lower quality filters will cost more throughout the life of the vacuum pump. These costs will significantly be outweighed by the savings made on the initial purchase price.
Size matters. Always ensure you fit the correct size of filter. These filters are designed to perform based on surface area and flow through from the pump. Smaller filters will not provide the same level of filtration than a correctly sized filter.
