Air Filter Roll Alternative for Electric Motors | Velum MOTOR
Cut-to-fit air filter roll media is what the Velum MOTOR replaces, an industrial air filter for electric motor protection with a reusable polypropylene holder and a replaceable polyester element. It mounts over the cooling fan on motors across machine shops, fabrication floors, processing plants, and maintenance fleets, matched to fan diameters up to 300 mm (11.8 in.).
You choose from eight diameters: 100 mm (3.9 in.), 120 mm (4.7 in.), 150 mm (5.9 in.), 175 mm (6.9 in.), 200 mm (7.9 in.), 230 mm (9.1 in.), 260 mm (10.2 in.), and 300 mm (11.8 in.). Every diameter uses the same quick application and replacement, so a filter change does not force downtime on the equipment it protects.
Key features:
• Patented reusable holder: the polypropylene body accepts a new polyester element at each change, so the mount itself is never discarded.
• Magnet or O-ring attachment included: the package covers both mounting styles, so the holder fixes to the fan of any kind of electric motor.
• Cooling-slot protection: the element stops dust before it packs cooling slots or coats the motor body, preserving airflow, extending motor life, and lowering maintenance costs.
• Cleaner shop air: the filter holds harmful particles the motor fan would otherwise circulate, which protects the people working around the equipment.
How does an air filter protect an electric motor?
An intake filter on the motor fan traps dust before it is drawn into the motor, so cooling airflow is preserved and corrective maintenance drops.
Applications: cooling intakes on electric motors, machine tool drive motors, pump motors, compressor motors, fan and blower motors, conveyor drive motors, in any dusty running environment.
Industries: machining, metal fabrication, general manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, plant maintenance and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO).
Users: maintenance technicians, MRO managers, plant engineers, machine operators.
How do you choose the right diameter for a motor fan filter?
Match the filter diameter to the motor fan it will cover. The Velum MOTOR comes in eight sizes from 100 mm (3.9 in.) through 300 mm (11.8 in.), so you pick the closest fit instead of trimming a filter mat or bulk media to shape. If a fan measures between two sizes, check both dimensions against the motor before ordering.
Does the Velum MOTOR use replaceable filter elements?
Yes. The holder is compatible only with the standard Velum Motor Filter Refill, a polyester element offered in the same eight diameters. Swapping in a refill renews the air filter media while the holder stays mounted, which keeps this machine air filter working without removing anything except the spent element.
At what point is the heavy duty air filter element used up?
Replace the element when the visual check shows heavy particle loading on the polyester surface. Visual control is built into the system, so a walk-by inspection tells you whether adequate airflow is still guaranteed and lets you schedule a refill before motor cooling suffers.
