Industrial & Commercial Air Intake Filters

Protection starts at the intake

Every engine, compressor, blower, and air handling unit is only as protected as its intake. Airsan air intake filters stop dust, moisture, and debris at the point of entry — washable permanent metal construction that gets cleaned and reinstalled instead of thrown away, made to order to drop into existing housings.

Intake Filters by Equipment Type

Compressor & Blower Intakes

Cylindrical C filters protect engines, air compressors, blowers, and large-scale industrial generators. CH threaded housings enable direct mounting to equipment.

Wet or Humid Intake Housings

Type AFD mist eliminators for air intake housings exposed to rain, humidity, or wet conditions — and for cooling towers and humidifier systems, where a cooling tower filter must drain moisture continuously.

Why Washable Metal for Intake Duty

Intake filters face weather, heavy dust, and everything else the outside air carries. Airsan metal filters are washable and reusable — washed at least once per month, they last at least 5 years or more with proper servicing.

Custom sizes drop into existing housings without retrofits: cylindrical filters are made to order in custom diameters and lengths, and panel filters are built to basically any size requirement.

After cleaning, a recharge with Film-Cor adhesive restores the filter’s dust-holding performance — the filter goes back into service performing like new.

Frequently asked questions

What does an air intake filter do?
It stops dust, moisture, and debris where air enters the system, protecting the equipment and the downstream filters behind it.
Can Airsan match my existing intake housing?
Yes — cylindrical filters are made to order in custom diameters and lengths, and panel filters to basically any size requirement.
What about intakes exposed to rain or mist?
The Type AFD mist eliminator coalesces and drains water droplets and oil mist before they enter the system.
Washable vs disposable for intake service?
A washable metal filter is cleaned, recharged, and reinstalled — eliminating recurring filter spend and waste.
