KELTEC coalescing filters are the simple way to avoid contamination in your expensive equipment

It is a common misconception that “oil-free” air compressors do not require this precaution. However, atmospheric air typically contains a significant amount of water, oil vapor and other contaminants, especially in industrial areas. Our filters provide the highest level of clean, compressed air with a minimum loss of energy (pressure drop). Through the selection of the appropriate grade of borosilicate microglass filtration media, and maintaining the quantity, diameter, and direction of individual fibers, KELTEC coalescing filters guarantee your air compressor system will operate correctly with minimum operational upkeep.

KELTEC offers thousands of coalescing elements, covering all major brands

KELTEC industrial air compressor service kits include a variety of miscellaneous items for a given compressor. These are including but not limited to: o-rings, gaskets, valves, bolts, screws, bearings, and springs. Our air compressor installation kits and compressor parts.

KELTEC service kits are high quality and when paired with our replacement filtration products, will continue to keep you air compressor system well suited for the job.

Water Separators (KWS)

KELTEC-Technolab water separators have been designed for the removal of bulk liquid water and a significant portion of particulate from compressed air and gases. Unique centrifugal action removed contaminants at low-pressure drop for maximum energy savings.

A filter pad or filter mat removes particles of rust, scale, dirt or other impurities from the compressed air. A filter pad is a type of filter mat that is made of two layers of fabric with an adhesive between them. The fabric is usually made of polyester or nylon and the adhesive is usually acrylic-based. The size and thickness of the filter pad will depend on the application and the amount of compressed air being used.

KELTEC air/oil separators are guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM standards

Regardless of style (pleated, conventional, deep, or spin-on), KELTEC Technolab oil separators will provide for performance as shown below. (Higher temperature models available)

- Pressure Drop (at load): 2-3 psi / .20 bar

- Pressure Resistance (against collapse): 70psi / 5.0 bar

- Efficiency (remaining oil in gas stream): 2-3 ppm / 2-3 mg/m3

- Operating Temperature: (standard) 180° F / 82° C to 230° F / 110° C

Pleated/Chicopee Air-Oil Separators

One common method of increasing the capacity of a given sized air-oil separator is through the use of pleated filter media. A Pleated Air-Oil Separator can be suited for approximately 2x the air flow capacity as that of a standard ail-oil separator.

The Chicopee separator design utilizes a unique media configuration and innovative structural integrity components to achieve exceptionally efficient oil removal.

Conventional Wrap / Deep Filter Oil Separators

The standard conventional oil separator is the original design for the removal of oil aerosols from the compressed air stream. This element design consists of a specific amount of a uniform grade of borosilicate glass fibers, “wrapped” onto a support tube.

When properly sized to the cfm/m3/min flow rate and corresponding operating pressure of the machine, this element will provide consistent performance according to the following data:

  1. Pressure drop (initial) - 2-3 psi / .20 bar
  2. Pressure resistance - 70 psi / 5 bar
  3. Efficiency - 2-3 ppm / 2-3mg/m3 residual oil

Deep Filter Oil Separators

A Deep Filter separator uses as many as three different grades of borosilicate glass wrapped onto the support tube in larger than normal amounts. The finished product then achieves increased airflow capacity very similar to pleated air-oil separator, while maintaining low initial pressure drop and residual oil content.

Field testing of this element has demonstrated an improvement in oil separation, especially in high “challenge rate” applications, in which more oil aerosol is contained in the compressed air than is normal.

Spin-On Type Oil Separators

Spin-On Oil Separators consist of a deep bed type oil separator element, placed inside of a pressure resistant body, or “can” like that of traditional oil filters.

Extremely easy to replace in comparison to standard oil separators (which are enclosed in a pressurized tank), this elements design is somewhat limited in application due to restrictions of air flow capacity.

Refrigeration & Natural Gas Oil Separators

KELTEC utilizes special inorganic materials for the construction and proper function of oil separators for refrigeration and natural gas compressor packages. These units have other gases being compressed and mixed with lubricating oil which must be removed prior to use of the gas.

These types of gases, along with ancillary materials often contained in natural gas, are not suitable for typical oil separator construction. KELTEC takes great care in the proper selection of all materials in order to ensure proper functioning of our separators.

KELTEC Technolab has the longest history of successful oil separation technology for this field. From the coalescing materials, to the sealing methods used, you can be confident in our refrigeration and natural gas oil separators.

Air Compressor Filters


Atmospheric air entering the air compressor is the single biggest contributor of contaminants into a compressed air system, that over time, reduce the efficiency and life span of oil filters and air-oil separators. Keltec-Technolab has a wide range of air intake filters, utilizing cellulose, synthetic and fiberglass medias, of varying efficiencies, that will greatly reduce this contaminant and provide for longer system life.

KELTEC Oil Filter cross references cover & replace all major brands

KELTEC technolab oil filters are built of the highest quality materials and workmanship. Specific filtration levels are obtained through the exclusive use of high grade filter media and consistent surface area control, obtained by a strict maintenance of pleat quantity and depth. Leakages are prevented by the positive seals obtained with both plastisol and epoxy encapsulation. Viton seals are used where applications of synthetic oil are typical.

Filtering in 5–25 micron range (depending upon application), it is again, the depositing of oil-borne contaminants over time, that causes the oil filter to continually increase in differential pressure to a point at which it must be replaced in order to continue proper filtration of the compressor oil.

KELTEC Technolab was founded in 1982 by Ed Kaiser, Sr., formerly an engineer of the Air Maze Corporation for over 20 years. With initial production of air-oil separators, KELTEC Technolab eventually added air-intake filters, oil filters, coalescing filters and synthetic compressor lubricants. Through a series of mergers (Technolab in 2002, Chicopee Engineering in 2016 and Air Supply Company in 2019), Keltec has grown to become the largest manufacturer of air-oil separators in North America. In 2011, KELTEC-Technolab partnered with Sr.Luiz Ribeiro and his family, to establish a stocking warehouse of products in Indiatuba/Sao Paulo Brazil for South America customers. Today, KELTEC-Technolab Brazil, is one of the largest wholesalers of compressor filters in this market.
