Description
Air Compressor Air Intake Filter Element (Universal Replacement)
The WIRES universal air compressor air intake filter element is a general-purpose cartridge designed to protect rotary screw, piston, and sliding-vane compressors used across a wide range of industrial applications. Built on a standard cylindrical format with pleated wet-strength cellulose media, expanded-metal inner and outer supports, and powder-coated steel end caps, it is a cost-effective solution for maintenance teams that need a reliable cross-brand intake filter. Because dimensions, media grades, and end-cap configurations can be fully customized, WIRES can also manufacture this element to match non-standard or legacy compressor housings.
Key Features
- Universal cylindrical format compatible with most rotary screw, piston, and vane compressor intake housings.
- High-dust-capacity pleated cellulose media maintains low restriction throughout service life.
- Expanded-metal inner and outer cages prevent media collapse and extend cartridge life.
- Powder-coated steel end caps with molded gaskets resist corrosion and ensure air-tight sealing.
- Fully customizable dimensions, media grades, and end-cap configurations for OEM-specific housings.
