Trident Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Pre-Filter

Trident Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Air Filter

Keep your compressed air system cleaner, more reliable, and easier to maintain with the Trident Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Air Filter. This is the 5.0 micron particulate filter in the Trident Cleansweep filtration platform, built to remove solid contaminants from compressed air and gas systems before they can damage downstream equipment or reduce overall system performance.

In real-world compressed air systems, particles like dust, rust, pipe scale, and other debris can create ongoing problems. They can clog valves, wear out pneumatic tools, reduce regulator performance, contaminate processes, and contribute to unnecessary downtime. The Trident Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Air Filter is designed to help reduce those risks by providing dependable particulate filtration in a compact, industrial-ready package.

Whether you are upgrading an existing compressed air line or building a new air treatment setup, this filter is a practical first-stage protection component for maintaining cleaner air and helping downstream equipment last longer.

Built for Industrial Compressed Air Systems

The Trident Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Air Filter is engineered for everyday use in demanding shop and plant environments. It features a borosilicate filter element inside a high-strength extruded aluminum alloy housing with an epoxy powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance and durability.

That construction matters in utility rooms, production spaces, and maintenance areas where filters need to hold up over time. The housing is designed to handle industrial service conditions while maintaining reliable filtration performance.

Trident also designed the Cleansweep filter platform with a compact footprint and low installation clearance, which makes it easier to fit into tighter piping layouts and retrofit applications. If space is limited, this is a major advantage when adding or replacing filtration components in an existing compressed air system.

Key Features & Benefits

• 5.0 micron particulate filtration for solid contaminant removal
• Helps reduce dust, rust, and particulate carryover in compressed air lines
• Protects downstream components such as tools, valves, regulators, and dryers
• Compact, low-clearance design for easier installation in tight spaces
• Corrosion-resistant aluminum housing with epoxy powder coating
• Integrated service indicator for fast visual condition checks
• Color-coded element identification for easier maintenance
• Designed for industrial compressed air and gas filtration applications

Performance Specifications (5.0 Micron Particulate Grade)

The Trident Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Air Filter is designed to deliver reliable particulate filtration while maintaining practical system efficiency. Key performance data for this filter grade includes:

• Particle removal: 5 micron
• Max oil carryover: 5 ppm
• Max working temperature: 176°F
• Initial pressure loss: 2.13 psi
• Pressure drop for element change: 5.69 psi
• Element end cap color: Green

These performance values make the 5.0 micron Cleansweep filter a strong option for general particulate filtration where consistent air cleanliness and easy serviceability are priorities.

Easy Monitoring with Built-In Service Indicator

One of the most useful features of the Cleansweep platform is the integrated service indicator, which gives operators a quick visual read on filter condition. Instead of guessing when the element needs replacement, maintenance teams can monitor condition at a glance and plan service more confidently.

The indicator uses simple color zones:

• Green = normal condition / clean element
• Yellow = restriction increasing / plan replacement soon
• Red = dirty element / replace immediately

This visual system helps reduce maintenance guesswork, supports more consistent service intervals, and can help prevent performance issues caused by running an overloaded filter element too long.

Available Sizes for a Wide Range of Airflow Requirements

The Trident Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Air Filter is available in multiple housing sizes to support a broad range of system capacities. Rated flow capacities are listed at 100 psig, and the Cleansweep particulate filter range spans from 11 SCFM up to 1065 SCFM, depending on the model selected.

Connection sizes vary by model and range from 1/4" NPT to 3" NPT, giving you flexibility to match the correct filter size to your compressor room, branch line, or point-of-use air treatment requirement.

This wide sizing range makes the Cleansweep 5.0 Micron Air Filter suitable for:

• Small shop air systems
• Individual machine drops
• Medium production lines
• Larger industrial compressed air networks

Installation & Operation Notes

For best performance, the Cleansweep filter platform should be installed correctly and used within the manufacturer’s operating limits. Product guidance emphasizes proper installation orientation and airflow direction to maintain filtration performance and drainage behavior.

General installation best practices include:

1. Install the filter in a vertical position
2. Follow the airflow direction arrow on the housing
3. Operate within the stated pressure and temperature limits
4. Monitor the service indicator regularly
5. Replace the element when restriction reaches the replacement zone

The Cleansweep housing is designed to manage collected contaminants and condensate through the drain system as part of normal operation, helping maintain performance over the life of the element.
