Filter Regulator Lubricators (FRL)
FRL systems are used for protecting the downstream components, like valves and cylinders from damages caused by external contaminants, paints, fish eye, rust, pipe scale or reduced air flow to equipment. Regulators are used for controlling the speed and flow of liquids and air while the filter scrubs, strains and traps contaminated particles (dust, dirt or rust) and separates liquids (water/oil) from the compressed air supply. The lubrication oil, on the other hand, ensures frictionless movement between pneumatic components to work effectively. These combination filter / regulator / lubricator sytems reduce the installation setup time by integrating the three units into one and also take minimum space. Raptor Supplies offers a wide array of ARO, Groz, Milton Industries, Parker, Speedaire, Texas Pneumatic Tools and Wilkerson filter regulator lubricators. Milton Industries air filters feature a metal bowl along with a sight glass for better detection of the fluid level and three drain options including an automated drain which activates under pressurised flow, a manual drainage facility that rotates the valve at bottom of filter and a push-to connect tube which channels away the water safely. They are integrated with 1/4 inch NPT threads on both the inlet and outlet ports and operates at a maximum pressure of 145 PSI. Wilkerson FRLs have a light weight design with high flow capacity and a large bowl reservoir operating at an adjusting pressure range of 0 - 125 PSI. These ready-to-mount combination units are integrated into a single unit with a pressure gauge and a modular T-bracket for easy installation. They are available in 1/2, 1/4 and 3/8 inch NPT pipe size options on Raptor Supplies.
