A dedicated fine-particulate filter is the easiest way to protect your vacuum press equipment from harmful debris. This high-flow filter was designed specifically for vacuum pressure and custom made for the vacuum press systems at JoeWoodworker. These filters will not limit air flow like most filters which require high pressure to be efficient. With more than 24 square inches of filter media, air flow remains strong up to 10 CFM.
Each filter features a replaceable cartridge that traps particles as small as 5 microns (at 95% efficiency) and meets or exceeds the manufacturers warranty requirements for the vacuum pumps sold at VeneerSupplies.com.
The aluminum head threads on to a see-through polycarbonate bowl and is sealed with a Buna-N O-ring. The 1/4" NPT air inlet and outlet makes this an easy addition to any system! If you're using your system for vacuum clamping or chucking, this item is a must. Highly recommended for piston and rotary vane pumps!

When I emailed Joe to tell him how much we like this filter, he asked me to write a review on this website so others could read it.
I work for a wholesale pneumatics distributor and we have bought these filters here for over a year now. I dont know how Joe found such a great filter! The filter itself is well-constructed and the housing is clean and machined nicely. We tested several of these filters by place one in line after another and pulling a high CFM vacuum through them. Fine dust was then introduced to the intake on the first filter. Not surprisingly, there was no dust to be found on the second and third in line filters (we examined these filters with a Motic digital microscope). The first filter caught everything. Even after cleaning the first filter with compressed air, we found virtually no dust on the second and third filters in repeated tests.

I use this filter on my vacuum compressors and it works perfectly. Most of my vacuum compressors are pulling 10 CFM or more and I've never had any indication that the filter affected the flow rate.
Its very easy to clean and the clear bowl makes it easy to know when a cleaning is necessary. My experience with this company has always been and I've never had to worry that a product wouldnt perform as described. I saw a commericial supplies catalog with a similar filter and it was $27.95 so you cant beat the price here.
I just ordered 6 more!
