HOW TO DEAL WITH THE AIR COMPRESSOR FILTER COTTON AFTER LONG USE-WASH OR AWAY?

The filter cotton in the air compressor can effectively filter impurities and particles in the air, ensuring the cleanliness of the production environment and the quality of the product. However, as the filter cotton is used for a longer time, its filtering effect will gradually decrease. So, should the filter cotton be washed or thrown away directly? This article will introduce the maintenance and treatment methods of filter cotton commonly used in industrial production to help you better manage and use filter cotton.

维护方式：

1. Regular cleaning: After using the filter cotton for a period of time, the filtration effect will decrease due to the accumulation of particles. When cleaning the filter cotton, use compressed air (pressure ≤ 0.3MPa) to blow from the inside to the outside to avoid damaging the fiber; stubborn stains can be soaked in neutral detergent and gently rinsed. When cleaning the filter cotton, be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging its fiber structure.

2. Drying in the sun: The cleaned filter cotton needs to be dried to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. The filter cotton can be dried in a ventilated place or with a drying device. During the drying process, avoid direct sunlight to prevent the filter cotton from becoming hard or yellow.

3. Regular replacement: If the filter cotton is found to be damaged, deformed or seriously blocked, it should be replaced in time. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the filter cotton regularly to ensure the filtering effect and cleanliness of the production environment.

Processing method：

Replaced filter cotton: If it is only dirty on the surface and not damaged or aged, it can be stored temporarily after deep cleaning for future use. However, if the filter cotton is damaged, aged, or its performance has deteriorated after multiple cleanings, it needs to be scrapped. The scrapped filter cotton should be classified and disposed of in accordance with local environmental protection requirements, and generally belongs to the category of recyclable garbage or industrial waste.

Through standardized maintenance and scientific treatment, the air compressor can be guaranteed to operate efficiently and stably, and the risk of environmental pollution can be reduced.
