Compact air filtration systems target wide range of applications - Mann Picolino filters from Mann+Hummel Filter Technology Inc - Brief Article
Diesel Progress North American Edition, July, 1999
Mann+Hummel Filter Technology Inc., Greensboro, N.C., is now offering a line of compact air filters designed for applications with nominal flow rates of 5.3 to 113 cfm. The Mann Picolino filters are available in four different versions; intake air filters for small engines; ventilation filters for aerating and ventilating gearboxes and liquid tanks; filter silencers for low-noise air intake on small piston compressors; and soon-to-be-released vacuum filters for vacuum pumps.
The Picolino series consists of five basic housings designed for easy adaptation to individual application needs through the use of adapters. The housing adapter and the filter elements incorporate a metal-free design. "This metal-free design serves several purposes," said Dennis Chamberlain, marketing manager for Mann+Hummel Filter Technology. "Eliminating metal from the package, both filter element and housing, creates a lighter, more durable package that retains its appearance and shape. The all-paper construction of the filter element itself simplifies disposal at the end of the element's useful life."
The housing is made of impact resistant polyamide, which has an operating range of -4 to 248 [degrees] F. Temperature-resistant material for the adapters is also available for special high heat applications, such as on the cylinder of a piston compressor.
The modular system consists of the cap, filter element, housing and a choice of adapters. Adapters are available for filter silencer or for the vacuum filter raw air applications. Three adapters are also available for clean air applications. These include an adapter with female or male threads and a pin-up adapter.
