Air Source Treatment Unit

Air system treatment(FRL) refers to the process of filtering, regulating, and lubricating compressed air to ensure it meets the required quality for pneumatic applications. FRL removes contaminants, controls pressure, and provides necessary lubrication to extend the lifespan of pneumatic components.


Why Clean and Stable Compressed Air Matters


Compressed air coming directly from an air compressor is typically unclean, humid, and unstable, making it unsuitable for direct use in pneumatic equipment.


The compressed air directly from the air compressor is very unclean and unstable, and cannot be directly used in pneumatic equipment.The air source treatment unit is the control mechanism for compressed air entering downstream control and execution components. The air source treatment unit regulates and prepares compressed air before it enters downstream valves, actuators, and cylinders. Without proper air preparation, the following issues may occur:


 Accelerated wear of seals and piston rods


 Valve sticking or sluggish operation


 Significantly shortened cylinder life


 Unstable cylinder thrust


To ensure reliable pneumatic system performance, an FRL unit is essential.



What is an air source treatment unit ?


The Air Source Treatment Unit is often used as a combined pneumatic component for compressed air treatment or preparation,the steps include receiving the air supply from the compressor and performing filtration, regulating, and spray lubrication processes. The unit mainly includes a pneumatic air filter,air pressure regulator and lubricator,Since it is used as a whole,the units are also known as FRL.


FRL is a very important air source preparation component in pneumatic system,They ensure that the compressed air flowing into downstream pneumatic components meets the operational range of the components and the task requirements for our output force.

 Pneumatic Filter(F):This unit is mainly used to remove particles and impurities to maintain the purity of the compressed air with Internal water seperator device, thereby reducing damage to pneumatic control and action component.


 Air pressure Regulator(R):Regulate pressure to maintain stable compressed air pressure within the operating range of pneumatic components.


 Lubricator(L):Provide the appropriate amount of lubrication to pneumatic equipment to reduce friction and extend service life.


The three-in-one FRL unit which not only saves installation space but also reduces the complexity of the system and piping associated with installing multiple individual components.
