SMC Four Stage Air Filtration System for Infusion Pro Series
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
Protect your Infusion Pro Series equipment with a complete SMC four-stage compressed-air filtration system engineered to progressively remove condensed water, solid particles, oil mist, fine aerosols, oil vapor, and associated odors before compressed air reaches the dispensing system.
Clean, properly conditioned air is important for reliable operation of pumps, infusers, and other pneumatic components. This filtration assembly helps reduce contamination in the air supply, support consistent system performance, and protect downstream equipment in demanding commercial environments.
Each system arrives preassembled on a durable galvanized steel mounting panel for an organized installation and convenient service access. The panel is designed for Infusion Pro Series systems used in cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, bars, and other commercial beverage operations.
Key Benefits
- Four progressive stages of compressed-air filtration
- Helps remove moisture, particles, oil mist, oil vapor, and odors
- Supports cleaner air delivery to Infusion Pro Series components
- Helps protect pumps, infusers, valves, and downstream equipment
- Preassembled on a galvanized steel mounting panel
- Organized layout provides convenient inspection and service access
- Included as standard equipment with every new Infusion Pro Series system
How the Four-Stage Filtration System Works
Stage 1: Water and Particle Removal — 1 Micron
The first-stage line filter removes excess condensed water and solid particles down to 1 micron. Its element design directs collected condensate toward the bottom of the bowl rather than allowing it to accumulate around the filter element.
Stage 2: Fine Oil Mist Filtration — 0.1 Micron
The mist separator removes oil mist and fine particles down to 0.1 micron, providing additional protection for the finer downstream filtration stages and connected equipment.
Stage 3: Micro-Mist Filtration — 0.01 Micron
The micro-mist separator captures extremely fine oil mist and particles down to 0.01 micron, further conditioning the compressed air before it enters the final activated-carbon stage.
Stage 4: Activated-Carbon Filtration
The activated-carbon filter reduces residual oil vapor and associated odors remaining after the first three stages. Under the manufacturer’s specified test conditions, the outlet-side oil concentration is reduced to 0.003 mg/m³ or less.
Commercial Applications
Designed for Infusion Pro Series installations dispensing cold brew coffee, nitro coffee, tea, lemonade, cocktails, and other commercial draft beverages. Proper inspection and maintenance of the filtration system should be incorporated into the facility’s regular equipment-service program.
Important: Filter performance and service life depend on compressor condition, incoming air quality, operating pressure, system usage, and maintenance practices. Inspect and replace filter elements according to the applicable SMC service recommendations and the operating conditions at your location.

Maintenance and Replacement
Filter condition and service life depend on air quality, operating hours, compressor condition, moisture levels, and system usage. Quality Draft Solutions recommends inspecting the panel regularly and replacing the filtration elements according to the system’s maintenance schedule.
The activated carbon element should be replaced within one year or 2,000 operating hours, whichever occurs first. The first three filtration elements should be replaced before two years of service or sooner if airflow becomes restricted, pressure drop reaches 0.1 MPa, or contamination is visible.
Always depressurize the system completely before inspecting or replacing filters. Installation and service should be performed by qualified personnel.
