Air Control Unit – 1/2" FRL Assembly

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade air treatment system combining filter, pressure regulation, and lubrication in a single modular assembly. The dual-module design—with independent filter and regulator/lubricator blocks—delivers clean, regulated, and properly lubricated compressed air to pneumatic tools and equipment. For shops running multiple pneumatic workstations, this unit serves as the backbone of reliable air quality management. If you're scaling your inventory, consider complementary modular FRL assemblies to outfit additional compressor lines or branch air systems.

Key Features

• Integrated Filter Module: 80 ml capacity dewaterer with blow-off valve; removes moisture and particulate before air reaches tools
• Pressure Regulator: Direct-reading pressure gauge; manual adjustment cap for field-tuning between 0–10 BAR
• Lubricator Module: 150 ml oil reservoir; proportional oil injection into compressed air stream for tool protection
• Dual Clear Sight Windows: Large vertical windows on both filter and lubricator bowls for visual fluid level checks and maintenance scheduling
• Manual Drain Valves: Black drain on filter bowl; white drain plug on lubricator bowl; enables fast emptying without tool removal
• Compact Footprint: Central aluminum mounting bracket (dimensions: 225 mm H × 126 mm W); fits standard wall or frame mounting with two screws
• Temperature Rating: Safe operation up to 60°C; suitable for indoor shop environments and standard industrial duty cycles
• 1/2-Inch Port: Universal connection to 1/2" hose lines, fittings, and compressor discharge headers

Why This Unit Matters for Your Business

Margin Opportunity: Air treatment systems are foundational purchases for any shop running pneumatic tools. Pairing this with tool bundles or offering as a pre-packaged system solution increases order value and customer lock-in.

Reduced Returns & Complaints: Poor air quality (moisture, debris, inadequate lubrication) causes premature tool failure and customer complaints. This assembly prevents that—keeping customers happy and reducing warranty exposure.

Recurring Revenue: Once installed, shops need regular filter elements, oil top-ups, and maintenance parts. Establish yourself as the supply partner for consumables.

Professional Presentation: The CE marking and rugged dual-bowl design signal quality to end-users; you can confidently recommend it as a system upgrade.

Application Notes

• Compressor Line Use: Install immediately downstream of your compressor discharge to protect all downstream tools and lines.
• Multi-Station Shops: Deploy one unit per major air line or branch; maintain consistent air quality across workstations.
• Tool Protection: Proper lubrication extends pneumatic tool life by 30–50%; this unit pays for itself in reduced tool replacements.
• Maintenance Interval: Check sight windows weekly; drain dewaterer and lubricator monthly (or as visibility indicates); replace filter elements per tool manufacturer recommendations.

Value for Resellers

Stock this as a must-have system component in your catalog. Pair it with air hoses, quick couplers, and pneumatic tool kits to create bundled solutions that command higher margins. End-users recognize the investment in air quality—position it as the professional choice, not an afterthought.
