MicraGold

Micragold is a range of filter housing for use in compressed air or vacuum applications. The precision machined aluminium filter housings are anodized in a distinctive gold colour to give complete corrosion protection. Transparent plastic filter bowls are available for those applications requiring visual monitoring or observation of filter performance. Each filter housing is supplied complete with a MicraLescer filter element of your choice, simply specify the grade required when ordering.

Designed and manufactured to high specifications, the MicraGold is available in two pressure ranges. The 10 barg range utilises an aluminium head with a transparent polycarbonate bowl whilst the higher pressure 16 barg range has head and bowl made from aluminium. All filters are supplied with a manual drain as standard.

MicraGold filters are very economic in operation as they use low cost MicraLescer filter tubes. In particular these filter tubes are strongly recommended for removing high dirt load concentrations or in any other application where frequent filter element change-out is required. MicraLescer filter tubes contain no metal or plastic parts and are made from borosilicate glass microfibre, which can be easily crushed for disposal.

Warning – Never use MicraGold with clear plastic filter bowls in applications containing synthetic lubricants or other additives, which can be detrimental to polycarbonate. If in doubt use the metal bowl option or check with MicraFilter Sales.

Ordering: add tube grade to model when ordering. For example 1/8 NPT, 16 barg MicraGold with 25 micron MicraLescer = MG-161-1232-[MCE]
Correction factor: for maximum flow rate, multiply model flow rate shown in the above by the correction factor closest to the actual working pressure.
