Aluminium Vacuum Pump Exhaust Filters

Cost-effective oil mist removal for standard vacuum pump exhaust

The aluminium series provides reliable, cost-effective exhaust filtration for non-corrosive vacuum pump applications. Ranging from compact single-element units for small laboratory pumps to large multi-element housings for industrial rotary vane and rotary piston pumps. All models feature tool-free element access for fast, clean maintenance.

Temp:120 °C
Material:Aluminium
Ports:¾″ to 3″ BSP

Key Features

  • Flow range: 5 m³/hr (RF-H-420) to 765 m³/hr (RF-H-456)
  • RF-H-433 and above: integral back-pressure gauge and anti-reintrainment mesh
  • Tool-free element access — clean, fast maintenance
  • Captured outlet for ducting on all models except RF-H-420
  • Oil drain for recovered coalesced oil
  • Uses RF-CS coalescing elements (silica binder, 200 °C rated)

RF-H-420S–RF-H-456S Series

Stainless Steel Vacuum Pump Exhaust Filters

Corrosion-resistant exhaust filtration for demanding environments

The stainless steel series provides full 316L construction for corrosive exhaust environments, high-purity applications, and installations where stainless steel is mandated by specification. Identical flow ratings and element compatibility to the aluminium range, with superior chemical resistance and cleanability.

Pressure:2 bar (exhaust duty)
Temp:200 °C
Material:316L stainless steel
Ports:¾″ to 3″ BSP

Key Features

  • Full 316L stainless steel construction — no aluminium components
  • 200 °C maximum — higher than aluminium range (120 °C)
  • Same flow ratings and element compatibility as aluminium series
  • Superior chemical resistance for corrosive exhaust gases
  • Hygienic design — fully cleanable and autoclavable
  • Uses RF-CS coalescing elements (silica binder)
