SMC AMF-EL450, direct aftermarket replacement. Aftermarket replacement for the SMC AMF-EL450 odour removal filter element. It fits SMC AMF450C units (and the earlier AMF450 without the C suffix) and is made to the same size, so it fits the bowl in place of the original.
The AMF odour removal filter uses activated carbon to take out oil vapour and odour that a mist separator cannot stop. It always sits after a 0.01 µm micro mist separator. Sold as a single element, shipped worldwide, and covered by our
30 day money back guarantee and
price beat guarantee.

Use cases & applications
Oil vapour and odour removal
Activated carbon adsorbs the oil vapour and smell left after a micro mist separator.
Food, beverage and pharmaceutical air
Air in contact with product is usually passed through a carbon stage after the micro mist separator.
Paint shops
Carbon filtered air gives the cleanest finish on spray lines and in paint booths.
Planned maintenance
Carbon cannot be cleaned or regenerated. Replace it at the interval in SMC's manual or when odour appears downstream.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a genuine SMC part?
No. It is an aftermarket element made to fit. It is not made by or affiliated with SMC; the SMC number AMF-EL450 is shown only so you can match the part you are replacing.
How do I know it fits?
Check the model on the unit's body. This element fits SMC AMF450C units (and the earlier AMF450 without the C suffix). If the old element is marked AMF-EL450, this is the replacement.
Do I need a micro mist separator in front of it?
Yes. Activated carbon is meant for oil vapour, not liquid oil or particles, so the AMF must sit after an AMD or AMH 0.01 µm separator. Without one the carbon saturates quickly.
What else should I check at a change?
Check the bowl O-ring when you change the element and replace it if it is flattened or cracked, and make sure the auto drain is clear.
