About the 1613 8004 00 - Air Filter air filter

The 1613 8004 00 - Air Filter is Kenrax's direct replacement air filter for Mann Filters compressor service. Rather than a generic 'fits most' element, it is built to the specific performance envelope of the machine it replaces.

The 1613800400 air filter is a top-of-the-line filtration system designed to keep your compressor running smoothly and your air clean. With its efficient filtering element and durable construction, this air filter is built to last and provide maximum protection for your compressor.

What the 1613 8004 00 - Air Filter does in your Mann Filters compressor

The air filter is the compressor's intake guard. It removes dust and particulate from ambient air before it reaches the rotors, bearings, and oil system. In a screw compressor the clearances between rotors and housing are measured in thousandths of a millimetre — abrasive dust that bypasses the filter gets pinned between those surfaces and scores them. The filtration media must handle the machine's full intake airflow while presenting a minimal pressure drop, because every extra bar of intake restriction is paid for twice: once in energy, once in heat.

The 1613 8004 00 - Air Filter is a scheduled-service consumable, not a repair item. Fitted as part of the Mann Filters machine's standard maintenance, it keeps the Mann Filters compressor inside its design operating band between services.

When to replace this element

• Clean environments: 2000–4000 operating hours, or per the OEM manual.

• Dusty or industrial environments: inspect every 500–1000 hours and change on condition.

• Always change earlier if the element shows loading, damage, or if the filter restriction alarm activates.

Signs it needs replacement

Replace on any of the above regardless of hour count. For this part, keeping a fresh element in stock before the interval arrives is the single cheapest insurance policy on the machine.

• A dark, clearly loaded or visibly dusty element when compared with a new one.
• Rising intake restriction shown on the compressor controller or a differential pressure gauge.
• Higher discharge temperature, because a starved intake forces the rotors to work harder.
• Reduced output flow or pressure at the point of use.

Confirming fitment for Mann Filters

Fitment for the 1613 8004 00 - Air Filter is confirmed against the OEM part number from your current element. WhatsApp us the number (or a photo of the element) and we verify media grade, dimensions, and sealing before dispatch. Cross-reference is available for Atlas Copco, Ingersoll Rand, Elgi, Kaeser, Chicago Pneumatic, Kirloskar, Gardner Denver, and Sullair machines.

Fitting and verification

• Isolate and depressurise the compressor before opening the housing.

• Remove the old element and compare dimensions and gasket profile against the new one before installing.

• Clean the housing and intake pipe interior so no debris falls into the air end.

• Seat the element squarely, rock it gently into place, and confirm the housing seals firmly.
