Festo Active Carbon Filter Cartridge - Maxi

Its primary function is to adsorb and remove odors, vapors, and other gaseous contaminants from compressed air.

No, this cartridge is specifically designed as a replacement for Festo D series filter housings. Always verify compatibility with your specific model.

Replacement frequency depends on the application's air quality and the level of contaminants. Refer to the Festo D series filter housing manual for recommended service intervals or replace when odors are detected.

No, active carbon filters are consumable and cannot be washed or cleaned. They must be replaced once saturated.

If the filter becomes saturated, it will lose its effectiveness in removing odors and vapors, potentially allowing contaminants to affect downstream equipment or the air quality in your workspace.

No, this active carbon filter is designed for gas and vapor removal. For particulate filtration, a separate dust filter (pre-filter) is required.

Ensure the cartridge was installed correctly and the housing is sealed. Check if the filter housing is appropriate for the level of contamination or if the odor source is continuous and overwhelming the cartridge's capacity. Consider if a pre-filter for particulates is needed.

Verify that the housing seal or O-ring is clean and correctly positioned. Ensure the housing is tightened properly but not over-tightened.

Check for blockages in the system upstream or downstream of the filter. If the cartridge is saturated, it can restrict airflow. Replace the cartridge if it has reached its service life.
