ALUP NEXT GENERATION
OF COMPRESSED AIR LINE FILTERS:
BUILT TO BOOST YOUR INDUSTRIAL
AIR APPLICATIONS.

Untreated compressed air contains dirt and particles that must be filtered out to
protect your air-powered equipment as well as your final products. However, filters also
affect your air system performance and efficiency. That is why Alup set out to create an
innovative filter range that is:
- Comprehensive and dynamic to meet the wide variety of industrial applications.
- In line with ISO 8573-1 2010 to offer the highest air purity.
- Energy-efficient with the lowest possible cost of ownership.
- Of low-maintenance with easy access for service.

With this new design, our new series surpasses all conventional filters in the market,
proving to be Alup most advanced filter yet. The housing and element have been
redesigned to improve air flow and performance. The series also features the latest
in filtration technology, incorporating particle, coalescing and oil vapor filters as well
as water separators, all of which are available in a wide range of port sizes to ensure
seamless integration with your compressor, other air treatment equipment and
pipework (AIRnet).
