The air filter regulator is a pneumatic device and a safety guard in the pneumatic system. It has two core components: filtering and pressure regulation.
Filtering: Filter out pollutants in the compressed air, such as dust, moisture, oil, and granular debris.
Pressure regulation: Stabilize the pressure of the entire pneumatic system and adjust the pressure value required by each device component.
Its core purpose is to protect the pneumatic components in various parts of the entire pneumatic system, such as cylinders, pneumatic solenoid valves, and pneumatic joints, so that these components can reduce corrosion, blockage, lubrication, and wear, enhance operational stability, and extend service life.
These series have different filtering technologies, durability, drainage functions and pressure losses according to their different market positioning.
It is widely used in the electronic manufacturing industry and other fields, with a filtration accuracy of 5μm and a very small pressure loss range.
It meets the functional requirements of basic filtration and pressure regulation, and has a relatively low price. It is suitable for small automation equipment and packaging fields that do not require high precision. The filtration accuracy is 10~20μm, and the pressure loss is relatively high.
Industries that have extremely high requirements for stable operation of equipment, such as automobile manufacturing and lithium battery product production, with a filtration accuracy of less than 5μm and extremely small pressure loss, are high-end technology products.
It can meet the needs of most industrial sectors, with a filtration accuracy of 10~20μm, a moderate price, and a pressure loss that can meet basic needs.
It is suitable for use in occasions with special requirements, with high precision and durability, such as robot end execution, manipulator and other industries, with a filtration accuracy of less than 5μm and basically no pressure loss.
The filtration accuracy and material are not high, which is suitable for most industries with low requirements and is economical. The service life is short, but it is easy to maintain.
Each series can be combined into different product models according to functions. Conventional standard combination products include: Pneumatic Filters, Pneumatic Pressure Regulator, Pneumatic Oil Filter. Non-standard customized combinations can also be made according to site environment requirements. If you need or have more information, please contact us.
The value of the air filter regulator in the pneumatic system is very important, and it can be described as a guardian angel. It is the key to increase the life of each component in the pneumatic system and the stability of its operation.
Correct installation and application are beneficial to the stable operation of the air filter.
It is best to install it at the location of pneumatic equipment, and the installation location must be well ventilated, dry, and free of corrosive gases and dust. Avoid installing it in places with high temperature, humidity or direct sunlight to prevent the filter element from getting damp or other parts from being corroded and affecting performance. At the same time, sufficient space should be reserved for future maintenance and repair.
Strictly follow the air flow direction marked on the air filter regulator to install it, ensuring that the compressed air enters from the inlet end and flows out from the outlet end after being filtered and pressure regulated. If the installation direction is wrong, the equipment may not work properly or even damage the internal components.
Use appropriate pipes and joints to connect to the air filter regulator, ensuring that the connection is tight and leak-free.
When connecting, avoid debris from the pipe entering the air filter regulator. Clean the pipe before connecting.
Confirm that the input compressed air pressure is within the rated working pressure range of the air filter regulator, and set the output pressure reasonably according to the needs of the pneumatic equipment. If the input pressure is too high, the equipment may be damaged; if the output pressure does not meet the equipment requirements, the equipment will not operate normally.
The filter element is a key component of the air filter regulator and needs to be checked regularly for contamination. When dust, oil or other impurities are found on the surface of the filter element, it should be cleaned or replaced in time. Generally speaking, the filter element needs to be checked every 1-3 months, depending on the usage environment and frequency.
The air filter regulator will separate the moisture in the compressed air during operation, and this moisture needs to be manually discharged from time to time according to the storage volume. For automatic drainage air filter regulators, it is necessary to regularly check whether the drainage device is working properly to avoid blockage of the drainage port.
Regularly check whether the output pressure of the air filter regulator is stable within the set value range. If the output pressure fluctuates greatly or does not meet the requirements, it is necessary to adjust the pressure adjustment knob in time and check whether the pressure regulating valve is working properly.
Check the seals and built-in sealing diaphragms of the air filter regulator for signs of aging, damage or deformation. If damage is found, replace them in time to prevent air leakage.
Clean the housing of the air filter regulator, keep its surface clean and tidy, and prevent dust and debris from entering the interior of the device. When cleaning, use a clean cloth or brush and avoid using corrosive cleaning agents.
Depending on the situation, the performance of the air filter regulator should be tested, such as the filtration effect test, the pressure regulation accuracy test, etc., to ensure that the equipment is always in good working condition. If the performance of the equipment is found to be degraded, it should be repaired or replaced in time.
