WEH® Particle Filter

Clean gases, protected components

Effective protection against solid contaminants

Tiny solid particles in the gas flow – metal abrasion, rust, dust, sealing residue – are common causes of issues in high-pressure systems. WEH® Particle Filters consistently eliminate these risks and protect downstream components such as valves, regulators, or sensors. This keeps sensitive parts clean, ensuring safe processes and long-lasting systems.

WEH® Particle Filters are available in both round inline and T-type versions and can be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of systems.

Efficient media filtration

Filtration ratings from 10 to 50 microns – high cleaning performance with minimal pressure drop.

Reusable Filters

Wire-wound filter inserts can be cleaned and reused multiple times – reducing operating costs and saving resources.

Low maintenance in
T-type design

The filter element is accessible without dismantling the piping – minimizing downtime during maintenance and inspection.

Highly stable & pressure-resistant

Robust design for operating pressures up to 490 bar – reliable even in demanding applications.

Corrosion-resistant &
media-compatible

Stainless steel and special alloys provide reliable protection – ideal for aggressive or flammable gases.

Function of the Particle Filters

The pressurized gas flows into the filter inlet and passes through a fine filter element. In the process, contaminants are separated by various physical effects:

  • Direct impact: Larger particles collide directly with the filter medium and adhere to it.
  • Inertial effect: Heavier particles do not follow the gas stream during directional changes and settle out.
  • Sieving effect: Finest particles are trapped in the narrow gaps of the filter medium.

The purified gas exits the filter through the outlet. Depending on the installation setup, T-type and inline filters are available – ensuring easy maintenance, low pressure drop, and maximum flexibility.

Typical Applications at a Glance

Filtering media

Contaminants in the gas flow pose a risk to operational safety – even the smallest particles or liquid aerosols can cause failures. WEH® Filter Technology reliably protects your systems.
