FRL Filter, Regulator and Lubricator
How FRL Units Improve Pneumatic Performance
Air preparation units are systems which are used to improve the quality of compressed air being fed into pneumatic products in order to improve their life as well as control the pressure / flow of shop compressed air.
They consist mainly of the following,
(a) Filters : To remove moisture in the compressed air
(b) Regulator: To regulate and control the pressure of air being fed into the pneumatic systems
(c) Lubricator : To add oil to the compressed air which in turn lubricates the moving parts / seals in a pneumatic system thus increasing the overall life of the system.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
You can buy them tailored to your needs. Mercury offers them as individual components (Filters, Regulators, or Lubricators), combined Filter-Regulator combinations (FR units), or complete 3-in-1 combo sets (FRL units).
- Regulating Pressure Range: Generally adjustable between 0.5 to 10 bar. However, we also manufacture a range of high pressure FRL’s with working pressures upto 17bar
- Operating Temperature Range: +5° C to +60° C
They primarily come with a Semi-Automatic Drain system. The system drains condensate automatically when the line pressure drops to zero (e.g., at the end of a shift). You can also manually push the drain pin up at any time to purge accumulated moisture under pressure.
Mercury Regulators use a precise “Push-to-Lock” knob design:
- Pull the adjustment knob upward to unlock it.
- Turn clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
- Push the knob back down to lock the setting into place against vibration.
