Technical Overview

The Festo 162613 LF-3/8-D-5M-MIDI is a highly reliable D-series pneumatic filter designed for industrial compressed air preparation. Featuring a Midi size footprint and G3/8 pneumatic connections, it achieves a standard nominal flow rate of 1800 L/min. It integrates a 5 µm sintered filter element and a centrifugal separator to efficiently eliminate solid particles and bulk moisture from compressed air or inert gases. The unit is constructed with a rugged die-cast zinc housing, a polycarbonate bowl, and a protective metal bowl guard, rendering it highly resilient to moderate corrosion stress and demanding factory environments. Additionally, it incorporates a manually rotating condensate drain and operates effectively across a broad pressure range of 0 to 16 bar and temperatures from -10°C to 60°C.
