Safety Precautions - CKD FP Series Manual

Anti-bacterial/bacteria-removing/odor removal filter

Safety Precautions

Be sure to read this section before use.Refer to "Pneumatic Components (CB-023SA)" and
"Pneumatic, Vacuum, and Auxiliary Valves (CB-024SA)" for general and product-specific
precautions. Although the above general catalog states that products are not applicable for
equipment or applications with direct contact with beverages/foodstuffs, the FP2 Series products
can be used in such applications as long as they are within the range of the product specifications.
WARNING
The antibacterial filter has an antibacterial effect on the
bacteria attached to internal filter elements,
suppressing bacteria growth. The working fluid has no
bacteria-reducing effects. *Anti-bacterial activity value,
which represents the anti-bacterial effect, is an actual
value from CKD's prescribed conditions.
The bacteria-removing filter and reduces the bacteria
in the working fluid, but it does not kill all bacteria. It

This product is for industrial use. Do not use in any
equipment or circuit that concerns human life.
This product exerts no influence on performance and
a small amount of leakage is tolerable.

This filter traps waste and bacteria in working fluids and provides
clean working fluids to the secondary side. Anti-bacterial and
bacteria removing functions are not added to the working fluid itself.
It cannot be used in environments containing sodium hypochlorite,
synthetic oil, organic solvents, chemicals, cutting oil, screw locking
agent, leak detection solutions, or hot water, etc., or where these
substances may come in contact with the product. For more
information on the chemical resistance of plastic bowls and
transparent cases, see page 369.
Piping load torque
Avoid piping fixed with a single support, as this can
result in excessive force and lead to damage.
[Combination, module type]
Avoid applying piping load or torque to the body or pipes.

CAUTION
Check the working circuit and working fluid.
To prevent drop in filter performance, install the dryer, air filter and
oil mist filter on the primary side, and remove water or oil.

Installation order for anti-bacterial/bacteria-removing/odor removal filter
We recommend the use of the bacteria-removing unit as the
final filter before the compressed air/gas contact foodstuffs.

Pre High performance
Do not exceed maximum working or differential
pressure.
Not observing this could damage the product
or element.
Do not flow over the max. processing flow rate.
Doing so may degrade the filtration accuracy and damage the element.
This device cannot be used as an absolute filter
(absolute degree of filtration).
Do not use where the IN/OUT pressure differential
exceeds 0.1 MPa.
A sudden supply of fluid to the filter (such as air blow by
releasing the secondary side to the atmosphere, etc.) may
reduce the removal efficiency. In this case, install a
restriction valve on the filter's IN side to keep the pressure
difference to 0.1 MPa or less. Consult with CKD about
attaching differential pressure gauge GA400.
High moisture levels
Install the air dryer and drain separator before the
anti-bacterial/bacteria removing filter.If there is a lot of
moisture from the compressor, hot and highly humid air
could shorten the device's life or result in corrosion.

substances from entering the compressed air.
The odor removal filter uses activated carbon to apply suction
to oil vapor. Be sure to install an oil mist filter (M Series M
type) on the primary side, and remove oil mist in advance.
The odor removal filter uses suction to remove the oil
vapor in compressed air (nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide).
Activated carbon suction is not equally effective with all
substances, so that it will not completely eliminate all odors.
The odor removal filter does not have anti-bacterial
or bacteria-removing functions.
