NFG Series (1,900-10,000 CFM)
High-Capacity Flanged Filters
The Next NFG series range of high-capacity flanged filters are fabricated from quality carbon steel and are painted with a 2-part epoxy marine grade paint for optimum corrosion resistance. The NFG Line encompasses connections from 4” to 10” and rated flows from 1,900-10,000 SCFM.
Built in accordance with ASME VIII and carrying both a U-stamp and CRN number, these filters fit a wide range of high flow industrial applications. The Unique design has stainless steel internal parts, tie rod element connections, dual drain connections, and a side mounted differential pressure gauge with dual visibility.
- Engineered for energy efficiency – helps reduce operating costs
- Durable Housing construction for corrosion resistance
- Broad filtration from general purpose to highly stringent applications

Correction Factors
For maximum flow rate, multiply model flow rate by the corresponding working pressure correction factor.
Correction Sample:
If a compressor delivers 3000 scfm at 160 psi please choose your filter model as follows: (3000 scfm / 1.22) =2460 scfm, Therefor a NFG-2500 would be needed.
Notes:
- Activated carbon must not operate in oil saturated conditions
- Activated Carbon elements should be replaced periodically to suit the application but must be changed at least every six months for efficient use
- Activated Carbon will not remove certain gasses including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
- Flow Rates are based on a 100-psig operating pressure, for flows at other pressures use the above correction factor table
- All filters are suitable for use with mineral and synthetic oils.
- Other standards for flanged connections are available
- Direction of airflow, inside to out, through the filter element

Filter Media Designed for Compressed Air
High quality compressed air filtration starts with selecting the correct filter media. Next uses superior-quality filter media with a new hybrid technology. Our elements stop the perpetual discussion about the use of filter media with or without binders because they are layered with body types, tailored to the filtration task. This neutralizes the inherent disadvantages and, as a result, retains the advantages of both types. The fine filter media is protected on both sides using a supporting fabric to increase both the stability and reliability.
Pleated Filter Elements
Pleated filter elements provide significantly greater filtration area than non-pleated. The higher filter area provides more void space for holding contaminants which reduces the differential pressure caused by retention of solid particles. The service life of the filter element increases proportionally which results in operating and maintenance cost savings.
Incorporated Drainage Media
The filter and drainage media are supported between two stainless steel supporting cylinders, eliminating any potential detachment of the filter media. The drainage media is located inside the filter element, eliminating potential handling damage. The stainless-steel cylinders have big, diamond-shaped openings for optimum flow conditions. Compared to punch-hole versions, their contribution to differential pressure is much lower and they are much more environmentally friendly because they are made from expanded sheet metal, i.e. without metal scrap.
Two-stage dry type Separation
During dry-type separation without-to-inside flow through the filter elements, the drainage media functions as a pre-filter stage, preventing coarse contaminants from entering the fine filter media. As a result, the differential pressure caused by contaminants is reduced and the service life of the filter is extended. As an additional advantage, the filter elements can also be used for wet type filtration.
Abrasion-free Activated Carbon Filter with 100% Activated Carbon
Both the filter element type and the cartridge type contain pure activated carbon granulate. The increased filling quantities contribute to a high separation performance and a long service life. Both the elements and the cartridges have an integrated general purpose filter element which significantly reduces the abrasion particles of the activated carbon. As a result, downstream dust filtration is not required, reducing installation, operation and maintenance costs.
