Description
The Pneumatic Filter, Regulator, and Lubricator (FRL) with Pressure Gauge is a three-stage air preparation combination unit engineered for pneumatic circuit control in ZERMA America and Virtus Equipment shredders and granulators. FRL units condition compressed air at the point of entry into a pneumatic circuit, ensuring the downstream directional control valves and pneumatic cylinders receive clean, correctly pressurized, and properly lubricated air at all times. The integrated pressure gauge allows operators to confirm regulated output pressure without additional instrumentation, supporting quick visual checks during machine startup and routine maintenance.
Technical Specifications:
SKU: 80013355
Type: Pneumatic filter, regulator, and lubricator (FRL) combination unit
Stages: Three (filtration, pressure regulation, lubrication)
Gauge: Integrated analog pressure gauge
Function: Compressed air filtration, pressure regulation, and pneumatic circuit lubrication
Application: Pneumatic circuit air preparation for shredders and granulators
Key Features:
Three-Stage Air Preparation: Integrates filtration, pressure regulation, and lubrication in a single compact unit to condition compressed air at the pneumatic circuit entry point
Filter Stage: Removes water, oil aerosols, and particulate contaminants from incoming compressed air to protect downstream valves and cylinders from moisture damage and wear
Regulator Stage: Adjusts and stabilizes supply pressure to the pneumatic circuit independently of upstream facility supply pressure fluctuations for consistent actuator performance
Lubricator Stage: Delivers a metered oil mist into the air stream to lubricate directional control valves and pneumatic cylinders, significantly extending their service life
Integrated Pressure Gauge: Provides continuous visual monitoring of regulated output pressure for quick confirmation during machine startup and maintenance checks
Compact Combination Design: Single-unit construction reduces installation space and simplifies pneumatic circuit maintenance compared to separate filter, regulator, and lubricator components
Applications: Air preparation and pneumatic circuit control for ZERMA America and Virtus Equipment shredders and granulators equipped with pneumatic actuator systems. The filter stage is essential for removing water and particulate contamination from compressed air supplies in industrial facilities where air quality varies. The regulator stage is required wherever a specific downstream circuit pressure must be maintained independently of fluctuations in the facility compressed air supply. The lubricator stage is critical for extending the service life of directional control valves and pneumatic cylinders in continuous-duty machine operations.
