Design and development
Elements are engineered to the original specification – from material selection to fitting dimensions – so they drop straight into existing filter housings.
Globe Filter supplies alternative filter elements and separators that fit straight into the filter housings of 60 compressor and pump brands. Same dimensions, same performance – independently tested and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015.
We guarantee you will be satisfied – from installation to the next change. If not, you get your money back.
We help you plan orders and scheduled call-offs, so the filters are in place when the service interval comes round. Urgent? Tell us – we will prioritise it.
The elements are fully interchangeable with the original. Same housing, same seals, same performance – without paying for the brand name.
Type the original part number, a GF number or choose a brand. Add the results to your enquiry list and send everything in one email – you get a price back with no obligation.
Every element we supply has its own Globe Filter number. It tells you which brand the element replaces and its filtration grade – so reordering the right one is easy.

Air from the compressor carries water, oil and particles. The right filter element stops them before they reach machines, tools and products. Without correct filtration you risk:
Oil and particles wear valves, cylinders and tools.
A blocked or wrong filter can stop the whole line.
An unplanned stop costs far more than a new element.
High pressure drop means the compressor uses more power.
Six product ranges covering most of what an installation needs. Tap a range to see how the elements are built.
The products are independently tested in cooperation with IUTA (Institute for Energy and Environmental Technology) in Duisburg, in accordance with ISO 8573 and ISO 12500. Here is what is inside the elements – and what it means for your operation.
Standard elements are built as multi-layer depth filters (multi-wrap), with support cylinders both inside and outside. The numbers refer to the picture:
The separator ensures that oil is returned efficiently to the compressor. A planned maintenance schedule prevents compressor stress, reduces the chance of breakdowns and decreases running costs.
The oil mist filter sits in the exhaust chamber of the vacuum pump and captures, coalesces and returns oil to the system. Elements are tested in-house with a DOP (dispersed oil particulate) photometer.
Housings for standard compressed air and gas – and for extreme operating conditions with high or low temperatures and mechanical stresses such as vibration. Used in chemical, environmental, gas, pharmaceutical and plant-engineering applications.
Where air must meet ISO 8573-1 Class 0 or Class 1, the OVR (oil vapour removal) cartridge is a more economical alternative to traditional loose-filled carbon towers – built to replace the original OVR series directly.
The autoclave filter supplies the sterile air admitted when the vacuum formed by condensed steam is broken in the chamber. Used in chiropody, dentistry, surgery and veterinary practice.
We do not sell “almost as good” filters. The elements are built to perform as well as the original or better, and that is documented.
Tested in cooperation with IUTA (Institute for Energy and Environmental Technology) in Duisburg to ISO 8573 and ISO 12500.
Manufactured under a certified quality management system with full traceability from start to finish.
Separators are batch tested as standard. 100 % testing of every element is available if required.
Stainless-steel inner and outer support cylinders, borosilicate micro glass fibre and corrosion-resistant end caps.
We do not stock shelf goods gathering dust – every filter element is produced against the customer's order in certified European manufacturing – largely by hand – and shipped directly to you. That means fresh elements, the correct specification and full traceability.
Elements are engineered to the original specification – from material selection to fitting dimensions – so they drop straight into existing filter housings.
All products are rigorously tested for performance and reliability, and comply with the ISO 8573-1 and ISO 12500 air quality standards.
Flexible production and efficient logistics give short lead times and direct delivery to your address in the Nordics and Baltics.
Standard elements cover most needs – but not all. For special applications we can have elements designed and manufactured to your requirements, from first idea to finished product and support afterwards.

Send us the original part number or the element dimensions, and we will identify the correct replacement. We supply alternative elements compatible with brands including:
All trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used solely to indicate compatibility. Globe Filter supplies alternative replacement elements and is not affiliated with the manufacturers listed. Can't find your brand? We identify the correct element from end cap diameter, spigot diameter and length.
Compressed air, gas and vacuum are the backbone of modern production. Correct filtration protects product, process and equipment – and reduces energy consumption and operating costs.
Paint spraying, laser cutting, pneumatic tools and precision machinery demand clean, contaminant-free air for consistent quality.
From packaging and mixing to conveying raw materials – filtration is essential for product quality and food safety.
Reliable, contaminant-free compressed air for safe operations across oil, gas and renewables.
Sterile filtration, autoclaves and medical compressed air with full documentation and traceability.
Compressed air filtration for workshops, braking systems and rail applications.

We guarantee that you will be satisfied with the products – from installation to replacement. If you are not, you get your money back.
It is our own part number. It shows the brand the element replaces, a serial number and the filtration grade – e.g. GF-AC4120-K1. Search for the original number to find the GF number.
Yes. The elements are produced with fitting dimensions identical to the original – end caps, spigot, seals and length – so they mount directly in the existing housing without modification.
The easiest way is to enter the original part number in the product search. If you don't have the number, the brand and model are enough – or the element dimensions: end cap diameter (A), spigot diameter (B) and length (L).
The elements are made in Europe, largely by hand, in ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing and meet or exceed OEM specifications. The products comply with the ISO 8573-1 and ISO 12500 air quality standards.
The elements are produced to order and shipped directly to your address. The exact delivery time is confirmed in the quotation – you always get a date before you order.
We deliver across the Nordics and Baltics: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – with the same point of contact and the same terms.
Usually, yes. With the element dimensions (A, B and L) we can identify the correct replacement for brands outside the list too. Feel free to send a photo of the element as well.
Using replacement parts of equivalent quality does not in itself normally affect the warranty. We still recommend checking the terms of your service or warranty agreement if the installation is within its warranty period.
