Description

AIRTAC Air Preparation Units (FRL) | Official Authorized Supplier | Industrial Pneumatic Solutions
🌟 Why AIRTAC Air Source Treatment Is the Heart of Your Pneumatic System
AIRTAC (AirTAC) air preparation units (also known as FRL units – Filter, Regulator, Lubricator) are the critical first line of defense for any compressed air system, ensuring clean, stable, and properly lubricated air reaches your automation equipment, machinery, and tools . As a Taiwanese brand with global recognition and official distribution through Ningbo AIRTAC Automation Industrial Co., Ltd., these components deliver unmatched reliability and performance for industrial applications worldwide .

⚙️ Core Components & Functions: Clean, Stable, Lubricated Air

AIRTAC air preparation elements can be flexibly combined to create custom solutions tailored to your specific needs:

1. Air Filter (5μm or 40μm Precision)

Removes 99.9% of moisture, oil droplets, and solid particles from compressed air
Protects downstream components (cylinders, solenoid valves, sensors) from premature wear
Available with manual, automatic, or differential pressure drainage (some models support non-stop operation drainage)
Filter bowl capacities: 10 mL to 230 mL (GFR series)

2. Pressure Regulator (0.05–0.9 MPa Adjustment Range)

Stabilizes output pressure with ±0.02 MPa precision for consistent performance
Features push-in self-locking mechanism to prevent pressure fluctuations from external interference
Balanced pressure adjustment design for stable regulation with minimal drift
Low-pressure models available (up to 0.4 MPa) for sensitive applications

3. Lubricator (ISO VG32 or Turbine Oil No.1 Recommended)

Atomizes lubricant into compressed air stream to reduce friction in moving parts
Oil cup capacities: 15 mL or 150 mL (model-dependent)
Transparent sight glass for easy monitoring of oil levels and droplet size
