NORGREN Olympian Plus Filter Regulator B68G-8AK-AR3-RLN Automatic Drain Filter Regulator Norgren

Product Description:

The Norgren B68G Series represents a high-performance Filter Regulator within the Olympian Plus™ range. This product is specifically designed to provide efficient filtration combined with precise pressure regulation, all within a single, compact unit. Such integration ensures convenience and effectiveness in maintaining compressed air system quality.

Built to withstand demanding industrial conditions, the B68G Series efficiently removes contaminants such as water, oil mist, and particulate matter. It features a standard filtration rating of 40μm, which guarantees clean compressed air and helps to maintain the integrity of downstream equipment. The regulator simultaneously maintains a stable and reliable output pressure, essential for optimal system performance.

The integrated design not only conserves valuable space but also reduces the number of potential leak points, thereby improving overall system reliability. As a flagship product from Norgren, a division of IMI plc, the B68G Series is known for its durable aluminum alloy construction. It also offers excellent regulation capabilities and versatile configuration options, making it a popular and trusted choice for automated manufacturing, process machinery, and various industrial equipment across the globe.

Features:

The integrated design combines both a filter and regulator into a single unit. This combination not only conserves valuable space but also minimizes the number of installation components required. As a result, the overall system reliability is enhanced by reducing potential points where leaks could occur.

Equipped with a large-area 40μm sintered plastic filter element, the device efficiently performs coalescing filtration. It effectively eliminates water aerosols, oil mist, and solid particles from the compressed air stream, ensuring cleaner and safer air output.

The pressure regulation is accurate and stable thanks to a diaphragm-operated balanced valve design. This configuration allows for precise control of pressure, quick response times, and steady output pressure, even when facing variations in inlet pressure or changes in flow demand.

Constructed with durability in mind, the main body, bonnet, and bowl are crafted from aluminum alloy. This robust construction guarantees strength and a long service life, making the unit suitable for harsh and demanding industrial environments.

User-friendly operation is a key feature, with the inclusion of a non-rising adjustment knob that features a snap-action lock. This mechanism securely holds the preset pressure in place and prevents any accidental adjustments during operation.

For easy maintenance, the metal bowl includes a heat-resistant Pyrex sight glass. This transparent window allows operators to visually monitor the condensate level without the need to disassemble the unit.

The product offers flexible configuration options to cater to various application requirements. These options include manual or automatic drains, alternative pressure ranges, a finer 5μm filter element, and a non-relief (no-bleed) version to provide customized solutions.

Applications:

The B68G Series is an excellent solution for delivering clean and stable air supply across a variety of industrial sectors. Its reliable performance makes it suitable for numerous applications such as factory automation and pneumatic systems, where consistent air quality is critical.

This series is also widely used in packaging machinery, automotive manufacturing and assembly lines, as well as in food and beverage processing equipment. Additionally, it supports general industrial machinery, ensuring optimal operation and efficiency.

Please be aware that the B68G Series is specifically designed to be used exclusively with compressed air. In environments where ambient temperatures may drop below +2°C (+35°F), it is essential to ensure that the compressed air supply is properly dried to avoid the formation of ice within the bowl.

Correct installation is crucial for optimal performance. Always follow the flow direction markings carefully to ensure the unit operates as intended. Furthermore, selecting the appropriate model should be based on your individual needs, taking into account factors such as flow capacity, pressure range, and desired filtration levels.

Support and Services:

Our Pneumatic Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) units are designed to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your pneumatic systems by providing clean, regulated, and lubricated air flow. For technical support, please ensure that your FRL unit is installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, including correct orientation and proper connection to the air supply.

Regular maintenance is essential for the effective operation of the FRL. This includes periodically draining accumulated water and contaminants from the filter bowl, checking and adjusting the pressure regulator to the desired set point, and refilling the lubricator with the appropriate pneumatic oil to maintain proper lubrication of downstream components.

If you experience any issues such as pressure drops, air leaks, or insufficient lubrication, please verify that all components are clean and free from obstruction. Replacement parts such as filter elements, seals, and lubricator wicks are available to maintain optimal functionality. Always use genuine replacement parts to ensure compatibility and performance.

For installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance instructions, refer to the detailed product manual provided with your FRL unit. Adhering to the recommended service intervals and operating parameters will help prevent premature wear and system failures.

Our technical support team is committed to assisting you with any questions regarding product selection, installation, and maintenance procedures to maximize the efficiency and reliability of your pneumatic systems.
