Pioneer
Filters are designed for superior performance, reliability, and maintenance
ease. Pioneer offers innovative choices -
Particulate and Coalescing Filters
Alert Series - monitors air quality
Duplex Filtration - for greater reliability
Oil-Sep Coalescer Plus - Minimize condensate disposal costs
Back Saver feature for added safety
The Coalator - A Superior Coalescing Concept!
Monitored Oil-Free Air Systems
Contaminated compressed air damages equipment, limits production capacity, and lowers quality.
Why Air Filters - Problem Examples
1. Air logic, instruments used in manufacturing, and other precision-type air devices malfunction when dirt and oil block orifices.
2. Oil aerosols cause
- uneven painting
- increased product rejection
- false readings by coating sensors
work stoppage
3. Acidic contaminants in compressed air cause slowdowns and shutdowns by damaging seals in cylinders, valves, and tools.
4. Contaminated air
- causes rejection of food, pharmaceutical, and other products
- affects performance
- damages air drying equipment

| Coalescer | For removing liquid aerosols and suspend fines (to remove oil vapors, see carbon adsorber). | Prefilter for desiccant dryers. Cold coalescer for refrigerant dryer. Protection for air control circuits, air gauging, etc. | 99.97% | 1.0-2.0 | 2.0-5.0 |
| Micro-Coalescer | For extremely fine coalescing or for last-trace aerosol removal | For lighter molecular weight gases and aerosols. For electronics industry. | 100.00% | 1.0-2.0 | 2.0-5.0 |
| Coalator | For removing moisture and oil with one product vs. two, a separator and a coalescer. | After the compressor aftercooler and before the air dryer. | 99.70% | 1.5-2.5 | 3.0-6.0 |
| Oil-Alert | For easy monitoring of oil content in air (signals by changing color from white to red). | For breathing air, electronics, and painting applications*. | 99.97% | 2.0-3.0 | 3.0-6.0 |
| Carbon Adsorber Alert |
For removing oil vapors and odors (signals by changing color from white to red). | For 100% oil-free air. For electronics, food, pharmaceutical and breathing air applications*. | 100% | 2.0-3.0 | 3.0-6.0 |
| Extractor-Dryer -Indicator |
For visual monitoring and point-of-use protection | For electronics and painting applications*. | 99.97% | 2.0-3.0 | 3.0-6.0 |
| Duplex Filtration | For maximum reliability and to eliminate downtime. | For critical applications: hospitals, breathing air, automated manufacturing and refineries*. | Varies with type of filter | 0.5-3.0 | 1.0-6.0 |
| Monitored Oil-Free Air Systems |
For 100% oil-free air | For pharmaceutical, electronics, and breathing air applications. | 100% oil removal | 3.0-5.0 | 5.0-10.0 |
| Visual Moisture Indicator | Monitors air moisture | Most manufacturing applications and dryers. | - | - | - |
| Mini-Dry | Point-of-use dryer for intermittent air usage and secondary drying | Dust collectors, pneumatic brakes, remote locations, etc. | - | - | - |
| *FDA approved filters available from Pioneer Engineering, Inc. | |||||
Pioneer filter housings and Oil-Sep Coalescer Plus housings are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of ten years, prorated, from the date of shipment, provided the equipment is installed and operated according to the company's recommended usage. Liability is limited to the repair, refund, or replacement in kind at the company's sole option.

To ensure good quality air, change filter elements on a regular time interval, e.g. once every three to six months, depending upon the quality of air entering the filters and your application. Caution: Depressurize filter housing before loosening the filter assembly. To insure depressurization, open drain line to atmosphere. Loosening a filter under pressure may cause injury. |
Greater Reliability
Critical applications do not permit bypass of a filter even for a short time period. These applications need duplex filters in parallel to permit bypass of one filter while the other is being serviced. All Pioneer filters as well as Monitored Oil-free Air systems are available in duplex form complete with bypass.
