When customers invest in compressed air systems, their ultimate goal is clean compressed air. However, untreated compressed air contains various contaminants—oil, dust, water, and other pollutants—that can damage your pneumatic equipment, disrupt your production processes, and compromise the quality of your end products. Clean air is critical, and filtration is essential to achieving it. Not all filters are created equal—filtration technology matters.

In July 2021, Atlas Copco officially launched its new generation of compressed air filters, including the UD+, DD+/PD+, DDp+/PDp+, and QD+ series. These filters incorporate advanced filtration technologies and materials to efficiently remove a wide range of contaminants from compressed air systems:

• Wrapped filter elements effectively capture oil mist and wet dust.
• Pleated filter elements are ideal for trapping dry particulates.
• Activated carbon filters with micro-porous structures adsorb oil vapors.
• Cyclonic water separators utilize centrifugal separation to eliminate water droplets.

This diversified product lineup allows users to select the optimal filter combinations tailored to specific production conditions, ensuring high-quality compressed air across industries. All filters are TÜV Rheinland certified, tested in accordance with ISO 8573 and ISO 12500 standards, providing full assurance of performance and quality.

A Filtration Revolution: inPASS™ Bypass Filter Technology

Traditionally, during filter maintenance or element replacement, compressed air systems must be shut down—unless an external bypass line is installed. Installing such bypass piping increases costs and complexity. Without it, users often face downtime during production or are forced to schedule maintenance outside working hours.

Atlas Copco’s revolutionary inPASS™ bypass filter offers a game-changing solution. With its integrated bypass mechanism, maintenance can be carried out without interrupting compressed air supply, eliminating the need for additional piping or shutdowns. Simply adjusting the filter head redirects the airflow, allowing filter changes during normal operation—no production downtime, no extra bypass lines, no after-hours work. This significantly reduces costs and operational losses.

Reliable. Efficient. Easy to Maintain.

If you’re looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and maintenance-friendly filtration solution, the new generation of Atlas Copco filters is the ideal choice. Built on decades of innovation and industry leadership, these filters represent a true leap forward in compressed air filtration technology.
