Active Carbon Filter for Compressed Air

The Festo MS6N-LFX-1/4-U is an active carbon filter designed to remove oil vapour and odours from compressed air systems. It delivers air quality class 1:4:1 per ISO 8573-1:2010 with a residual oil content of 0.003 mg/m³. The unit features an integrated metal bowl guard and operates vertically within a five-degree tolerance. It suits installations requiring clean air for sensitive applications.

Food-Industry Use; Not for High-Flow Needs

This filter suits food-industry environments where compressed air purity is critical and operating pressure stays within 0 to 20 bar. It handles medium temperatures from 5 to 30 °C and ambient conditions from -10 to 60 °C. Buyers needing flow rates above 900 l/min or corrosion resistance beyond class 2 should look at larger or higher-rated filtration units.

900 l/min Maximum Standard Flow Rate

The decisive specification is the maximum standard flow rate of 900 l/min for the stated air quality class. This figure determines whether the filter can support your downstream equipment without excessive pressure drop. Verify your system demand against this limit before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the MS6N-LFX-1/4-U active carbon filter and what is the common mistake?

Mount the filter vertically within a ±5° tolerance using the integrated metal bowl guard; the step often missed is ensuring the vertical alignment stays inside this narrow angle.

What maintenance or replacement will the MS6N-LFX-1/4-U need over time?

Replace the active carbon cartridge when the residual oil content at the output rises above 0.003 mg/m³ or when the 900 l/min flow rate can no longer be maintained.

What limit appears first during sustained operation of the MS6N-LFX-1/4-U?

The medium temperature must stay between 5 °C and 30 °C; exceeding 30 °C is the first constraint that stops continuous use.
