Air Filter
The air filter is installed at the inlet to prevent moisture & dust contained in compressed air from
entering the pneumatic control circuit.
A 5m element has been employed as a standard for the air filters nominal filtration rating and
this nominal filtration rating is compatible with most general purpose pneumatic equipment.
Use compressed air to clean filter. Fit it after cleaning. This process should be repeated every 60
days.
FRL (Filter regulator lubricator)
REGULATOR
In pneumatic control equipment, a regulator or other pressure control valves are used since the
pressure of air from an air compressor need to be reduced to a specific level according to the
purpose of use.
In regulator it is required to set the pressure 6 kg/cm2 with help of setting knob.
Pressure setting in pressure switch is 6kg/cm2 .This setting is fixed and need not to change on
site. If pressure in line goes beyond this limit (6kg/cm2 ),then air supply will be cut-off
automatically & vibrator movement will also stop both in auto and manual modes. A red light
indication will come on the control panel showing high pressure.
LUBRICATOR
Lubricator does the job of mixing the oil mist with air flow which provides the lubrication to the
pneumatic cylinder.
For proper working of lubricator, the oil cup must be sufficiently filled with the lubricating oil.
The level of oil in the cup must be in between the lowest level mark & the highest level mark.
If the above operational requirements are followed, then life & working of the equipment will be
enhanced
