What materials filters are filled nowdays?Back in 1977, that filter was enough. It's probably filled with AC or 50% AC / 50% MS.
But it doesn't meet the current standard (EN12021). If you don't want your tanks to rust away on the inside and breathe safe dry air, add a larger filter housing.
What materials you put in the filter? Ac and ms?My compressor Bauer U2B 1976, you can repack the filter.
Thank you for very good explanation. Nowdays filters must be bigger because more ms --> air to ac would be dryer, am i understanding right? What if I put also personal filter with ms and ac, would it be then good or better with this og small filter?To give you an impression what your Bauer Utilus would need, see the picture below.
On the left, you see the filter cartridges that were posted by others above. They can be screwed together, creating one large filter cartridge. On the right, you see your filter.

Of course, the filters on the left require a different filterhousing. Aluminium filterhousings are usually good for a decade, steel housings last much longer.
A larger filter doesn't do much without the required back pressure valve / pressure maintenance valve.Thank you for very good explanation.
