FESTO Compressed Air Preparation
FESTO filters, regulators, service units, on-off valves and air dryers for clean, dry and precisely regulated compressed air.
Why compressed air preparation matters
Compressed air from the supply network contains particles, water and often oil residues. Without proper treatment, valves, cylinders and seals wear faster, and sensitive processes such as painting, food packaging or measuring can be disrupted. FESTO compressed air preparation ensures that each consumer receives air of the required quality at the correct pressure. This category includes MS series service unit combinations, fine and micro filters, on-off valves, electronic pressure regulators as well as adsorption and membrane air dryers.
Versions and selection criteria
- Filters: from standard filters to fine and activated carbon filters, depending on the required air quality.
- Pressure regulators: manual regulators or electronic pressure regulators such as PREL for precise, controllable pressure setting.
- On-off valves: for safely pressurising and exhausting a system, e.g. the PVEL series.
- Dryers: LDM1 membrane dryers or PDAD adsorption dryers where a low pressure dew point is required.
- Port size and flow: thread size and unit size must match the air demand of downstream consumers.
- Combinations: individual units or pre-assembled combinations of filter, regulator and on-off valve.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an air dryer?
A dryer is advisable if condensate must be kept out of lines and components or if your application requires particularly dry air. Membrane dryers suit decentralised use, adsorption dryers very low dew points.
What does an on-off valve do?
It switches the air supply of a machine on and off and allows the system to be exhausted, for example during maintenance.
How do I find the right replacement filter element?
Use the type designation of the existing unit. Filter elements must match the series and size of the filter housing.
