Festo FRC-3/8-D-MINI-A 162736 1200l/min 0.5-12bar G3/8 40μm Fully Automatic Drain Zinc Alloy Unit With Pressure Gauge

Product Description:

The FRC-D-MINI series air treatment units are compact yet highly efficient modules specifically designed for use in small to medium-sized pneumatic systems. These units combine essential air filtration, pressure regulation, and optional lubrication functions within a space-saving MINI-sized body, enabling flexible installation options.

Available models include versions with a manual or automatic drain (-A), versions equipped with a pressure gauge port (-MPA), as well as basic configurations. This variety allows users to select the most suitable unit based on their specific application requirements.

All variants such as the FRC-1/8-D-MINI, FRC-1/4-D-MINI, FRC-3/8-D-MINI, and their related models share a unified core structure and adhere to consistent maintenance standards. This standardization helps streamline spare parts inventory and simplifies maintenance procedures.

With precise pressure regulation, these units ensure a stable downstream pressure, while their efficient filtration capabilities effectively remove moisture and particulate matter. This combination significantly prolongs the lifespan and reliability of pneumatic system components.

Features:

The design of this product features a compact MINI size, which helps save valuable installation space. This makes it an excellent choice for distributed air preparation systems where space efficiency is crucial.

Its modular configuration allows for flexible combination of components such as filter, regulator, and lubricator according to specific requirements. This adaptability ensures that the system can be customized to suit a variety of applications.

With high filtration accuracy, the standard model filters down to 40 micrometers, while an optional 5 micrometer filter is available. This capability effectively removes contaminants including water, oil, and particulates, ensuring clean air output.

Pressure regulation is stable and reliable, featuring minimal secondary pressure fluctuations. Additionally, a locking knob is provided to prevent unintended adjustments, enhancing operational safety and consistency.

Optional features include an auto-drain function, indicated by the suffix “-A,” which allows for hands-free drainage. Another option, marked as “-MPA,” integrates a pressure gauge port for convenient pressure monitoring.

The product is constructed from durable materials, utilizing a polycarbonate bowl equipped with a metal guard for enhanced impact and corrosion resistance. The transparent bowl design enables easy visual inspection of fluid levels.
