Official Part Number 564109
GTIN Standard 4052568211400

Technical Overview

The Festo MS9-LF-G-CUV is a high-performance size 9 compressed air filter from the MS series, engineered for efficient air preparation. It utilizes a sintered filter design combined with a centrifugal separator to remove contaminants down to 5 µm, achieving a condensate separation efficiency greater than 75%. This unit features a fully automatic condensate drain and is constructed from robust die-cast aluminium for the housing and sub-base, with a wrought aluminium alloy bowl. It is designed for vertical mounting and is suitable for both compressed air and inert gases within an operating pressure range of 2 to 12 bar.

Industrial Applications

1. Main Air Supply for Automotive Paint Shops

Deployed as the primary stage filtration unit at the entrance of automotive painting zones. The unit filters large volumes of compressed air required for paint robots and pneumatic atomizers, ensuring the removal of bulk contaminants like pipe scale and condensate before finer filtration stages.

Problem Solved

Prevents 'fisheye' and cratering defects in paint finishes caused by Paint-Wetting Impairment Substances (PWIS). The specific 'LABS/PWIS conformity (VDMA24364-B1/B2-L)' ensures the filter materials do not release silicones or contaminants that ruin paint adhesion, while the fully automatic drain eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to enter sensitive clean zones to empty bowls.

2. Bulk Nitrogen Gas Distribution Network

Installed as a high-flow particulate filter in centralized inert gas grids used for heat treatment furnaces or electronics inerting. The unit processes Nitrogen (N2) at pressures up to 12 bar, removing particulate matter generated from carbon steel piping networks before the gas reaches precision flow controllers.

Problem Solved

Solves the issue of valve seat erosion and clogging in downstream mass flow controllers caused by rust and dust in aging pipework. The 'Inert gases' compatibility and 'Wrought aluminium alloy' bowl provide the necessary safety and material compatibility for handling pressurized nitrogen in industrial environments where plastic bowls might degrade or pose safety risks.

3. Semiconductor Sub-Fab Utility Air Prep

Utilized in the sub-fabrication level of semiconductor plants to filter general pneumatic air for tool actuation (e.g., wafer handling robots). The unit serves as the robust pre-filter stage, ensuring air quality meets the facility's background cleanliness requirements without frequent maintenance interventions.

Problem Solved

Maintains strict 'ISO Class 7' cleanroom compliance for the facility's air background level. The 'Fully automatic drain' is critical here as sub-fab areas are often cramped and hard to access for manual maintenance. The 5 µm pore size effectively protects downstream sterile filters (0.01 µm) from premature blinding by capturing 75% of condensate and coarse dust.
