Expel is a ‘fit and forget’ solution designed so that user do not need to change any internal elements  

According to ERIKS UK & Ireland, it would normally take three conventional compressed air filters – one for water, oil emulsion and solid particulates – to do the job of one Expel. 

The company added that traditional compressed air filters are between 60-80 per cent efficient, even when they are operating at optimum performance levels. Furthermore, they can be quickly overwhelmed with contaminants as their disposable internal elements become less effective over time.

The product has been engineered using CFD and does not require any replacement filter elements, reportedly ensuring that its performance will not fall below 99.999 per cent. Expel guarantees that pneumatic equipment is fully protected down to one micron against liquid water, oil emulsion fluids and solid particulates in a single unit when installed at point of use.
