Air Filter, Lubricator & Regulator

An FRL unit is a crucial component in any compressed air system. It ensures that the air delivered to pneumatic tools and equipment is clean, dry, and lubricated. This helps to improve the performance, longevity, and efficiency of the equipment.

Here's a breakdown of each component:

Air Filter
• Purpose: Removes solid contaminants such as dust, dirt, and rust particles from the compressed air.
• How it works: The filter contains a filter element, typically made of a porous material like paper or synthetic fiber. As the compressed air passes through the filter, the contaminants are trapped in the filter element.

Air Regulator
• Purpose: Regulates the pressure of the compressed air to a desired level.
• How it works: The regulator has a pressure gauge and an adjustment knob. By turning the knob, you can increase or decrease the output pressure. A diaphragm or piston inside the regulator controls the flow of air to maintain the set pressure.

Air Lubricator
• Purpose: Adds a controlled amount of oil mist to the compressed air to lubricate moving parts of pneumatic tools and equipment.
• How it works: The lubricator has an oil reservoir and a metering valve. As compressed air flows through the lubricator, it draws in a small amount of oil from the reservoir. The oil is atomized into a fine mist and mixed with the air.
