Motor Guard Plasma Air Filter M-26

The Motor Guard M-26 Plasma Air Filter increases the efficiency and tip life of your plasma cutter by removing moisture and oil aerosols from your compressed air line.

A Sub-Micronic Compressed Air Filter that effectively removes oil aerosols and condensed moisture...and will:

Eliminate Arc "Sputter"

Restore the Plasma System to Maximum Cutting Efficiency

Reduce Corrosive wear of the Electrode and Tip

The installation of a Motor Guard Filter on the Plasma Cutting system downstream of the air regulator will effectively remove the contamination from the compressed air line. This eliminates the "sputter" from the arc, restoring the plasma system to maximum cutting efficiency, and dramatically reducing the corrosive wear on the tip and electrode.

Designed to remove the smallest contaminant, oil-aerosol or drop of moisture to supply Clean, Dry, Oil-Free air to the point of use. Users of the filters report contaminant free air with higher flow rates and minimal pressure drops.

Is there some indicator for when the filter needs to be replaced?

1 Answer

There is no indicator to show when the filter in the Motor Guard Plasma Air Filter M-26 needs to be changed. When used in a relatively dry climate the filter element should be examined every 2 weeks until the optimum change interval has been determined. In a moist climate the filter element should be checked twice a week until the optimum change interval has been determined. The filter element will absorb 6 to 8 ounces of water. The filter element should be changed before it becomes saturated.

How do you know when the filter cartridge needs to be replaced? Confirm that the M-26 is all that is required to treat the air to protect my new Miller plasma cutter. I

1 Answer

Motor Guard advises that since the M-26 is a high efficiency, absorbant type, depth filter that periodic changes of the cellulose filter element is required. The effective life of the element will depend on the moisture content of the air and the flow rate.. Since conditions vary between applications only general guidelines can be provided for filter change intervals. When used in in relatively dry conditions the change interval should be several weeks . When first installed the element should be checked after two week s to determine condition and proper service interval When used in moist air conditions the element should be examined daily until proper service interval is determined.. The M-26 should provide you with enough protection under most conditions.. However your plasma is going to be used under extremely moist conditions a water separator with a drain should be installed in the air line directly up stream of the filter

Great Filter

February 23, 2018

A little bigger than I was expecting, but other than that it's perfect. I use it on my plasma cutter and it removes all contaminants and my consumables last much longer.

High quality, easy to change filter. Says to change filter weekly. That could get pretty expensive. But I'm sure that is if you use it regularly everyday, which I don't.

Am happy with the product . At first questioned the filters, thinking that there were more than one kind.

Product seems to be working as stated , feel that my plasma cutter is protected from contaminated air. The filters in the picture were brown the ones received were white and made out of different material.

I had been looking at these filters and they were over $100 everywhere else. I almost thought this might be a scam. I was wrong! The filter is better than I thought it would be and it was shipped and arrived quickly. I will order from Cyberweld again in the future.

I have not use one filter in 3 years but I am a hobby guy not a pro welder.I do use it for painting also clean dry air is important again not a pro painter but works great on my HVLP paint gun. Very well built worth every penny
