Description
Ingersoll Rand Replacement Air Compressor Intake Filter Element
The WIRES Ingersoll Rand replacement intake filter protects the compressor’s air-end by removing dust, pollen, rust particles, and other atmospheric contaminants before they enter the screw chamber. Engineered as a direct cross-reference replacement for Ingersoll Rand SSR, UP, UP6, R-series, and N-series rotary screw compressors, the cartridge uses high-dirt-holding cellulose media pleated on a rigid wire support, sealed between galvanized-steel end caps. A clean intake reduces wear on the air-end, prevents scoring of the screw rotors, maintains volumetric efficiency, and extends the service interval of downstream oil and separator elements.
Key Features
- Direct-fit replacement for Ingersoll Rand SSR M55/M75/M110, UP5/UP6, R-series, and N-series intake filter housings.
- Wet-strength cellulose media with uniformly spaced pleats provides high dust-holding capacity and low restriction.
- Galvanized-steel end caps with integrated foam gasket ensure positive sealing against unfiltered air bypass.
- Inner expanded-metal support core prevents media collapse under high vacuum or pulsating intake flow.
- Consistent dimensions and flange geometry allow tool-free swap-out during scheduled compressor maintenance.
