Ingersoll-Rand 42843797 Oil Filter for Air Compressors 10-20 Micron

An Oil Filter is a critical component in any lubrication or hydraulic system, designed to remove contaminants such as dirt, metal particles, soot, and carbon deposits from oil before it circulates through an engine, compressor, turbine, or hydraulic unit. By continuously cleaning the oil, it prevents abrasive wear, protects sensitive components, and ensures optimal performance and extended service life for both the fluid and the machinery it protects.

• Advanced Filtration Media: Utilizes a blend of cellulose, synthetic fibers, and glass to create a high-density matrix that captures contaminants as small as 10-20 microns.
• High Dirt Holding Capacity: Engineered with deep pleats and optimized media area to extend service intervals and reduce maintenance costs.
• Robust Construction:
  • Casing: Heavy-gauge steel or durable composite materials withstand high pressures and vibration.
  • End Caps: Polymer or steel caps bonded to media prevent bypass.
  • Gasket: Precision-molded, oil-resistant gasket ensures leak-free seal.
• Anti-Drainback Valve: Silicone valve prevents oil drainage when engine is off, ensuring instant oil pressure upon startup.
• Bypass Valve: Safety feature allows unfiltered oil flow if clogged occurs, protecting against oil starvation.
• Optimal Flow & Pressure Drop: Maintains proper lubrication pressure while providing excellent filtration.

1. Oil Entry: Pressurized, unfiltered oil enters through perimeter ports.
2. Filtration: Oil is forced through microporous pleated media, trapping contaminants.
3. Clean Oil Exit: Filtered oil flows through center tube to central outlet port.
4. Safety Bypass: If clogged, bypass valve opens to maintain oil flow.

Our oil filters are essential for:

• Automotive & Transportation: Cars, trucks, buses, and heavy-duty equipment
• Industrial Machinery: Hydraulic systems, gearboxes, compressors, turbines
• Marine: Main propulsion engines and auxiliary power units
• Agriculture: Tractors, combines, and farm machinery
• Construction & Mining: Excavators, bulldozers, and off-highway equipment
