Trident Cleansweep 1.0 Micron Prefilter

Trident Cleansweep 1.0 Micron Air Filter

Keep your compressed air system cleaner, more efficient, and better protected with the Trident Cleansweep 1.0 Micron Air Filter (X-grade). Built for industrial compressed air applications, this filter is designed to remove fine particulate contamination before it reaches your downstream equipment, helping reduce wear, protect tools and controls, and support more consistent air quality across your system. Trident’s Cleansweep filter platform is built around a compact, corrosion-resistant housing with a service indicator and low-clearance design, making it a strong fit for real-world installations where space and uptime matter.

If you’re running a shop, plant, or production line where compressed air quality affects reliability, this 1.0 micron filter gives you a practical filtration step that helps keep contaminants out of valves, actuators, pneumatic tools, and process equipment. It is commonly used as a particulate filtration stage and is also often positioned as an after-filter for protecting downstream equipment.

Built for Industrial Compressed Air Performance

The Trident Cleansweep 1.0 Micron Air Filter uses a borosilicate filter element (X-grade) and an extruded aluminum alloy housing with an epoxy powder coating for durability and corrosion resistance. This combination is designed to handle demanding environments while maintaining dependable filtration performance over time. The X-grade is the 1.0 micron particulate filtration option, and the Cleansweep line uses a color-coded element system for quick identification during service.

Trident also highlights a compact design with very low installation clearance, which is a major advantage when you’re fitting filtration into crowded compressor rooms, retrofits, or tight piping layouts. Instead of needing oversized service space or major rerouting, the Cleansweep design is intended to integrate more easily into existing systems.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1.0 micron particulate filtration (X-grade) for cleaner compressed air
• Borosilicate filter media for reliable fine particulate capture
• Corrosion-resistant housing made from extruded aluminum alloy with epoxy powder coating
• Compact, low-clearance form factor for tighter installation spaces
• Built-in service indicator / DP gauge for easy condition monitoring
• Color-coded element identification for faster maintenance and fewer mistakes
• Multiple flow and connection sizes available across the Cleansweep X-grade range to match different system demands

Performance Highlights (X-Grade / 1.0 Micron)

The Cleansweep X-grade filter is rated for:

1. Particle removal: 1 micron
2. Max oil carryover: 0.5 ppm
3. Max working temperature: 176°F
4. Initial pressure loss: 2.13 psi
5. Pressure drop for element change: 5.69 psi

These specifications make it a strong option for customers who need a fine particulate filtration stage while maintaining predictable maintenance intervals and easy pressure-drop monitoring.

The Cleansweep X-grade model range also spans a wide set of flow capacities (rated at 100 psig) from 11 SCFM up to 1065 SCFM, with connection sizes from 1/4" NPT to 3" NPT depending on the selected model. That gives you flexibility to match filtration capacity to anything from smaller point-of-use lines to larger plant distribution circuits.

Why This Filter Is a Smart Upgrade

A lot of compressed air systems suffer from contamination-related issues that don’t show up as a dramatic failure at first. Instead, they show up as reduced efficiency, sticky valves, premature component wear, inconsistent tool performance, and rising maintenance costs. Common contaminants in compressed air systems include dust, oil, rust, and condensed water, all of which can impact downstream equipment and productivity.

The Trident Cleansweep 1.0 Micron Air Filter helps address those issues by providing dependable fine particulate filtration in a compact housing that is easy to monitor and maintain. For operations that rely on clean, stable compressed air, this can improve overall system reliability and reduce avoidable service interruptions.

Installation and Maintenance Notes

For best performance, the Cleansweep microfilter should be installed:

• Vertically
• With airflow following the direction arrow
• Within the stated operating limits (including inlet temperature and pressure limits)
• With proper drainage routing for collected condensate and contaminants

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the gauge-based service indicator, which provides quick visual status checks:

• Green = filter element is in good condition
• Yellow/Red = element is loading up and should be replaced soon or immediately

The filter element should also be replaced on a regular schedule (commonly around 8000 operating hours / annually, depending on operating conditions), even if the differential pressure indicator has not yet reached the replacement threshold. Consistent element changes help maintain filtration efficiency and minimize pressure drop across the system.

Ideal Applications

• Compressor rooms and plant air systems
• Pneumatic tools and machinery
• Packaging and production lines
• Automotive and heavy equipment shops
• Facilities that need cleaner compressed air with dependable maintenance visibility
