Kaeser E46KE is the replacement KE grade high efficiency coalescing element for the Kaeser F46KE in-line compressed air filter, which takes out fine oil aerosols for technically oil free air. It is used on Kaeser F46 series in-line compressed air filters. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
The same part is also sold as Kaeser 901525.0.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
Sensitive processes
Painting, food and drink packaging, instrument air and pneumatic controls need the fine oil aerosols a KE element removes.
Oil showing downstream
Oil film in hoses, on products or in valve exhausts means the coalescing element is saturated. Change it at the red zone on the gauge or at least once a year.
Protecting a carbon stage
A working KE element keeps liquid oil off a downstream KA activated carbon element, which would otherwise saturate within days.
Fitting tips
Isolate and vent the housing, fit the new element with a clean O ring, and check the drain. Change the upstream KB element at the same time.
