Walker Alpha Series Filter Housings

Walker Alpha Series Filter Housings: An Advanced and Flexible Solution

For filtering compressed air, gas, and vacuum. The series is designed for high performance, energy efficiency, and operational reliability. It is suitable for industrial and technical applications where air or gas quality is critical. Walker Alpha series filter housings protect sensitive equipment from particles, oil, and water/aerosols. They ensure long service life and optimal operation.

Different Filter Types in the Alpha Series

The Alpha series includes a wide range of filter types. These include coalescing filters, dust filters, water separators, duplex filters, and filters for vacuum pumps. This variety makes the series ideal for many industrial environments. It works well in production facilities, laboratories, and automated process systems. Clean air and gas are crucial for process quality and equipment longevity.

Flexible Connections and Operation

The filter housings are available with connection sizes from 1/8″ to 3″. This provides great flexibility for both small installations and larger industrial systems. They handle air and gas flows from approximately 10 Nm³/h up to 2550 Nm³/h. They can operate at temperatures up to 120 °C and pressures up to 20.7 barg. These features ensure use in both standard and high-pressure applications without compromising safety or efficiency.

Filter Elements and Filtration Grades

The filter elements in the Alpha series are available in multiple filtration grades. Typical options include 25 µm, 5 µm, 1 µm, down to 0.01 µm. Some elements use activated carbon to remove odors and chemical contaminants. The finest elements ensure high purity and efficient removal of oil, particles, and water/aerosols. Saturated differential pressure is less than 125 mbar (or <1.8 psi) at X1 and XA grades. This minimizes pressure drop and reduces energy consumption.

Design and Durability

Walker Alpha series filter housings are flow-optimized for efficient airflow and reduced resistance. The deeply pleated elements extend service life. Color-coded end caps make it easy to identify the filtration grade. The housing is made of robust aluminum with corrosion protection. This ensures long service life even under demanding operating conditions.

Applications

Walker Alpha series filter housings are ideal for industries requiring high air or gas quality. Applications include compressed air for production equipment, instrumentation, vacuum pumps, and processes in the food, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries. The series combines reliability, flexibility, and energy efficiency. It is one of the most versatile filtration solutions on the market.
