Peak Output Performance and Long Service Life with
Metal Textiles separators, manufactured from knitted wire have high surface area and its series of interlocking loops provides sufficient flexibility and structural support. In addition, wire mesh can provide the lowest cost solution, especially when installed inside compressors that are sized for other process considerations.

Metal Textiles products allow the liquids to be separated while allowing the air or gas to pass through the separator and into the equipment. The liquids are then drained and removed by the return lines, and then re-compressed in a continuous cycle. While each application is unique, many times the optimum solution requires the use of two separators. Mesh separators, while highly efficient, will not remove 100% of the liquids from the air stream. Secondary separators are normally required downstream to remove smaller elements that migrate through the primary unit.
