Description
Product Overview
The FILME 24121212 air oil separator cartridge is engineered specifically for oil‑injected rotary screw compressors such as the SSR UP5 and UP6 models. Built from high‑quality glass, the cartridge provides a transparent, corrosion‑resistant barrier that efficiently separates oil droplets and moisture from the compressed air stream. Its robust construction can withstand the high pressures and temperatures typical of industrial air compression systems, delivering reliable performance over extended service intervals.
Key specifications include a compact footprint of 9.49 x 4.65 x 4.61 inches and a lightweight design of 2.5 pounds, making it easy to handle during installation and maintenance. The cartridge features a precision‑machined inlet and outlet that align perfectly with the compressor’s existing connections, ensuring a leak‑free seal without the need for additional adapters. The glass material not only offers superior filtration efficiency but also allows visual inspection of the internal media, enabling quick assessment of filter condition and timely replacement.
Designed as a direct replacement part, the 24121212 cartridge eliminates the guesswork often associated with aftermarket components. It carries the same part number as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) filter, guaranteeing exact fit and function. The cartridge is backed by a three‑month warranty, reflecting FILME’s confidence in material quality and manufacturing precision. For users seeking to maintain optimal air quality and protect downstream equipment, this separator cartridge provides a cost‑effective, high‑performance solution.
Usage
This separator cartridge is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications where clean, dry compressed air is critical. Typical environments include manufacturing plants, automotive workshops, food processing facilities, and any setting that relies on pneumatic tools, spray painting, or precision machining. By removing oil and moisture before the air reaches downstream components, the cartridge helps prevent fouling, corrosion, and premature wear, ultimately extending the lifespan of valves, actuators, and other pneumatic devices.
Installation is straightforward: simply shut down the compressor, depressurize the system, and replace the existing filter with the FILME cartridge using the standard mounting hardware. The transparent glass housing allows operators to monitor filter loading visually, facilitating proactive maintenance schedules. The cartridge performs effectively across a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C and can handle pressures up to 150 psi, making it suitable for both low‑ and high‑demand air systems.
For best results, pair the separator with regular oil change intervals and consider using compatible coolant products such as Ultra Coolant 92692284, which further enhances oil removal efficiency. The cartridge’s design also supports integration with automated monitoring systems that track pressure differentials, enabling real‑time alerts when filter replacement is required.

FAQ
What makes the glass material better than traditional metal filters?
Glass is chemically inert and does not corrode, which means it maintains its filtration efficiency over a longer period. The transparent nature of glass also allows operators to see the amount of oil and moisture collected, enabling proactive maintenance before performance degrades.
Can I use this cartridge with compressors other than SSR UP5 and UP6?
The cartridge is designed specifically for the SSR UP5 and UP6 models, matching their inlet and outlet dimensions exactly. While it may physically fit some similar compressors, using it on non‑compatible equipment could lead to reduced filtration efficiency or seal issues. Always verify compatibility with the manufacturer before installation.
How often should the separator cartridge be replaced?
Replacement intervals depend on operating conditions such as load, ambient humidity, and oil quality. In typical industrial use, a cartridge lasts between 6 to 12 months. However, because the glass housing is transparent, you can monitor oil buildup and replace the cartridge when the visible load reaches the recommended level, ensuring optimal air quality at all times.
Is there a recommended coolant to use with this separator?
Yes, using Ultra Coolant 92692284 in conjunction with the separator enhances oil removal efficiency. The coolant works synergistically with the glass media to break down oil droplets, making them easier to capture and preventing re‑entrainment into the air stream.
What does the three‑month warranty cover?
The warranty covers any defects in material or workmanship that arise under normal operating conditions within three months of purchase. It does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as chemical exposure beyond the specified operating environment.
