Description
The FC Series FRL Unit is engineered to enhance pneumatic system efficiency by removing contaminants such as dust, oil, and moisture while maintaining consistent air pressure and providing appropriate lubrication. Suitable for various industrial applications, this triple-piece unit stabilizes air flow, protects pneumatic components from damage, and reduces maintenance downtime. With a maximum working pressure of up to 1.6 MPa and multiple port sizes (G1/4, G3/8, G1/2), it offers flexibility and durability for robust air treatment needs.
Main Features and Advantages
High Filtration Precision: Standard 40 μm filter element (optionally 5 μm) effectively traps particles and liquids to protect equipment.
Stable Pressure Regulation: Maintains consistent output pressure despite fluctuations in input pressure, enhancing operational reliability.
Efficient Lubrication: Precisely controls oil mist output proportional to air flow, reducing friction and extending component lifespan.
Wide Compatibility: Suitable for compressed air systems in manufacturing, automotive, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and more.
Robust Construction: Designed for long-term durability with corrosion-resistant materials working efficiently in temperatures from -5°C to 60°C.
Easy Installation: Modular configuration allows tubular or bracket mounting with straightforward connection to standard pneumatic fittings.

Installation Steps and Maintenance
Installation: Mount the FC Series FRL Unit securely with the filter placed upstream, followed by the regulator and then the lubricator. Ensure airflow direction matches the unit’s arrow indicators.
Filter Maintenance: Regularly check and replace the filter element to prevent clogging and pressure drop, typically every six months or based on usage intensity.
Regulator Adjustment: Use the adjustment knob to set the desired output pressure and verify with a pressure gauge.
Lubricator Care: Refill lubricator oil periodically and adjust drip rate to maintain optimal lubrication without over-oiling.
General Inspection: Regularly inspect for air leaks, clean components, and replace worn parts to ensure system efficiency and equipment safety.
How to Choose the Right FC Series FRL Unit
Assess Airflow Requirements: Determine the maximum air consumption (L/min or CFM) of your pneumatic system to select the proper flow capacity unit.
Pressure Range Compatibility: Choose a unit that supports the required operating pressure for your machinery (up to 1.6 MPa).
Filtration Level: Opt for a filter precision level (40 μm or 5 μm) based on the cleanliness needed.
Connection Size: Match the thread size of the FRL unit (G1/4, G3/8, G1/2) to your existing pipeline.
Environmental Conditions: Consider temperature, humidity, and exposure to corrosive elements to select a durable model.
Application Specifics: Identify if additional features such as automatic drain or advanced monitoring are necessary for your industry.
