2. Getting to know the dust separator
2.1 Main characteristics
The SAS dust separators are installed in the intake line of
vacuum pumps to prevent large dust particles from entering
the pump. This increases the service life of the pump and the
operating fluid.
The SAS are designed for volume flow rates in the range of
5 … 1000 m3/h depending on the type. The separable particle
size for the possible filter inserts is 5 μm.
Condensable vapors cannot be vacuumed via the SAS.

Authorized use:
– The dust separator may be used only in the vacuum
domain.
– The dust separator should be installed in a vertical or hori-
zontal position according to the permissible installation
positions.
– Do not vacuum condensable vapors.
– Do not pump corrosive or explosive gases.
– Do not use the dust separators in areas with risk of
explosion.
– Any accessories not mentioned in this manual cannot be
used without approval from Pfeiffer Vacuum.
Unauthorized use
The following applies as unauthorized use:
– Use for purposes deviating from those mentioned above,
especially:
– connection to pumps and devices not designated for such
use according to their operating manuals.
Unauthorized use voids all liability and guarantee claims.
The SAS dust separator series comprise single-stage
dust filters with inserted filter elements made of polyester.
The SAS connection flanges are fitted with ISO flanges.
All filters are equipped with one filter insert apiece.
3. Installation
The maximum allowable gas inlet temperature
for the SAS is 104 °C. Temperatures above the
limit
can lead to damages to the elements, filter
media and seals.
The direction of flow inside the SAS is from the outside of the
Filter housing to the inside.
➡Make sure that the connections to the piping system are
sealed sufficiently to prevent unnecessary leakage.
➡Install the SAS in a vertical or in a horizontal position in
accordance with the illustration.

5. Maintenance
Maintenance of the SAS dust separator
extends to cleaning or replacing the filter
insert.
The pollution degree of the filter can be
determined by reduction in pump performance,
e. g. when the operating pressure is not
reached within the expected time.
5.1. Opening the filter housing
➡Switch off and vent vacuum pump.
➡Remove SAS from the vacuum flange of the pump.
➡Loosen the locking clips (wire holder); unscrew wing nuts
at SAS 160.
➡Remove the housing cover.
☞
PLEASE NOTE
4. Operation
4.1. General notes
It is important to check the differential pressure regularly to
ensure that the dust separator work properly. Always make
note of the starting pressure loss in a clean state. Clean the
filter insert when the starting value is exceeded by 25 to 35
mbar.
Always check the status of the filter insert and
housing seals. The insert seals always must be
level on the end caps and sealed well.
☞
PLEASE NOTE
➡Every time you change the filter insert, check the inlet,
outlet, purifying area and sealing surfaces for impurities.
➡Immediately remove dirt and other particles.
➡Operate the dust separator only when a proper seal is
guaranteed.
5.2. Replacing the filter inserts
➡Some inserts (SAS 63, SAS 100, SAS 160) are fastened
additionally with a separate wing nut or fastening nut 6
and washer, which must be removed.
➡Lift filter insert and remove it from the filter housing.
➡Clean the housing surfaces, the sealing surfaces and the
end caps of the inserts to prevent dirt from entering the
clean area.

7
Polyester insert:
Wear a protective mask.
➡Clean the polyester insert in lukewarm water with
mild detergent.
➡Vacuum or blow a gentle stream of air through the insert.
➡Dry the insert before installing it.
Use a new filter insert if you cannot ensure that
the filter insert is still flawlessly functional after
the cleaning process. Request seals as needed.
☞
PLEASE NOTE
DANGER
5.4. Installing the filter insert
➡Ensure that all surfaces are free of impurities.
➡Carefully place the cleaned or new insert in the correct
position on the base plate of the filter housing.
➡Ensure that the filter insert is positioned correctly and
that there is no dirt between the sealing surfaces.
➡Attach washer and screw in the wing nut 6,if existing, by
hand.
➡Correctly position the O-Ring on the housing cover if
it is not fixed in position on the cover.
➡Place the cover on the open side of the housing; make
sure to center the filter insert and place it level on the
sealing surface.
➡Press the housing cover down and simultaneously
engage and lock the locking clips (wire holder) on the
housing cover. At SAS 160 evenly screw down wing nuts.
5.3. Cleaning the filter inserts
Take special care during the cleaning process,
since the filter inserts can be damaged during
dismantling, cleaning or assembly. Damaged
filter inserts can allow unfiltered particles to
enter into the pump, which could lead to further
damage.
