Sullivan-Palatek Separator Replacement - KB08000-009

Maintain clean compressed air and dependable compressor performance with the Sullivan-Palatek Separator Replacement - KB08000-009. This air oil separator element is designed for Sullivan-Palatek rotary screw air compressors and removes lubricating oil from compressed air inside the separator vessel before it exits the system. By capturing fine oil mist and returning it to the lubrication circuit, this separator helps reduce oil carryover, support cleaner downstream air, and maintain efficient compressor operation.

  • High Efficiency Oil Separation – Built with fine filtration media capable of capturing oil aerosols down to approximately 0.1 micron for cleaner air output.
  • Reduced Oil Carryover – Helps return lubricant back into the system while minimizing oil contamination in the compressed air stream.
  • Supports Compressor Efficiency – Designed to maintain consistent pressure differentials and prevent collapse under load, helping ensure stable system performance.
  • OEM Compatible Fitment – Commonly used on Sullivan-Palatek compressors, including 40UD and 50UD series applications requiring part number KB08000-009.

Protect compressor efficiency and maintain consistent compressed air quality with the Sullivan-Palatek Separator Replacement - KB08000-009, a critical maintenance component engineered to reduce oil carryover and support long term compressor reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the KB08000-009 separator compatible with my Sullivan-Palatek compressor?

The KB08000-009 separator is designed for Sullivan-Palatek compressors that require this exact part number. It is commonly used on 40UD and 50UD rotary screw compressors, but compatibility should always be confirmed by matching KB08000-009 in your compressor’s parts manual or by verifying your model and serial number before ordering. Not sure? Reach out with your compressor model and serial number and we’ll help confirm compatibility.     

What does the KB08000-009 separator do?

Air/oil separators are responsible for removing oil aerosols and oil carryover from compressed air before that air leaves the compressor package. This allows oil to return to the sump while helping deliver cleaner compressed air downstream. 

How often should the KB08000-009 separator be replaced?

Air/oil separators are commonly replaced about every 4,000 hours, depending on operating conditions and maintenance practices. They should be inspected regularly and replaced if signs of restriction, declining efficiency, or increased oil carryover are present.

Is this an OEM part?

This is an OEM-equivalent replacement separator designed to meet or exceed the fit and performance standards of the original Sullivan-Palatek component while offering a cost-effective alternative.

Why is it important to replace my separator regularly?

A worn or overloaded separator can allow more oil carryover into the compressed air stream and may also contribute to reduced system efficiency. Replacing the separator on schedule helps support cleaner compressed air, proper oil separation, and more reliable compressor performance.  

How difficult is it to install?

Separator replacement is generally a routine maintenance task, though the process depends on the compressor’s separator housing design. Because this component is part of the pressurized air/oil system, the compressor should always be shut down, isolated, and fully depressurized before service is performed.

Do you carry other parts for Sullivan-Palatek compressors?

Absolutely. We stock air filters, oil filters, separators, lubricants, and more for Sullivan-Palatek compressors. If you don’t see what you need, just ask. We’re happy to help.

How do I know which oil to use in my Sullivan-Palatek compressor?

Stationary rotary screw compressors may have specific oil requirements that differ from reciprocating or portable units. To make sure you’re using the right lubricant for your machine, check out our full guide here: Choosing the Right Oil for your Sullivan-Palatek Compressor. It covers the recommended options for rotary screw compressors and helps you match your compressor with the proper oil.
