SINTERED STAINLESS STEEL MUFFLER TYPE SSA 1/8 NPT

DALON’s SINTERED STAINLESS STEEL MUFFLER TYPE SSA 1/8 NPT is a compact, corrosion-resistant air compressor muffler engineered to reduce exhaust noise in compressed air systems without compromising flow efficiency. Built from 316L sintered stainless steel, this muffler is designed for performance in high-humidity, chemically active, and high-temperature environments—making it the ideal choice for demanding applications.

The SSA type features a cylindrical porous body with a male 1/8” NPT thread, ensuring reliable integration into regulators, solenoid valves, pneumatic actuators, and air compressor outlets. Its porous sintered design allows for smooth airflow while trapping particles and significantly lowering noise levels, typically reducing exhaust noise by up to 25–30 dB.

This stainless steel muffler resists rust, chemical corrosion, and mechanical wear—ideal for environments such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical systems, laboratory setups, and outdoor pneumatic machinery.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the purpose of an air compressor muffler?

It reduces noise from exhausting air and filters particles that may escape into the surrounding environment, improving workplace safety and protecting equipment.

Q2: Can this muffler handle high-pressure applications?

Yes. Stainless steel sintered structure allows for reliable operation in medium to high-pressure pneumatic systems.

Q3: Is the SSA 1/8 NPT muffler suitable for corrosive environments?

Yes. 316L stainless steel is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents—perfect for chemical and food industries.

Q4: Can the muffler be cleaned and reused?

Absolutely. It is washable using ultrasonic cleaning, backflushing, or solvents depending on the media used.

Q5: Is it directional or can I install it either way?

Install with the porous side exposed to the airflow. It must exhaust outward for effective silencing.

Q6: What’s the MOQ for a custom design or special dimension?

Please contact DALON. We provide flexible customization based on your quantity and specification needs.

What Do People Also Ask (Answered)

Q: Do air compressor mufflers reduce performance?

No. Properly designed mufflers like DALON’s SSA type reduce noise with minimal pressure drop, maintaining airflow efficiency.

Q: How long do stainless steel mufflers last?

With proper maintenance and cleaning, they can last several years even in harsh environments.

Q: Can I use this in food-grade systems?

Yes. The stainless steel 316L body is food-safe and compatible with hygienic system requirements.

Q: How do I choose the right thread size for my compressor?

Match the thread specification (e.g., NPT 1/8”) to your port size. DALON supports custom threads if needed.
