Pleated Air/Oil Separators
One common method of increasing the capacity of a given sized air-oil separator is through the use of pleated filter media.
In this case, the filter media is processed through a machine whereby the normally flat surface is “pleated” or induced into a wave-like appearance.
A separator con-figured in this manner can then be suited for approximately 2x the air flow capacity, as that of a standard air-oil separator, manufactured in the standard, wrapped method.
