Product Description:
The Norgren F07, F72G, and F73G series consist of general purpose filters engineered to eliminate water, oil, and solid contaminants from compressed air lines. By doing so, they safeguard downstream pneumatic equipment against contamination and corrosion. These filters are particularly well-suited for applications such as industrial automation, packaging machinery, material handling, and various general pneumatic systems where maintaining clean and dry air is critical for dependable performance.
The F07 series is a compact range of filters featuring G1/8 and G1/4 port sizes, making them perfect for installations where space is limited. They are constructed with a zinc alloy body paired with a polycarbonate bowl that offers 360-degree visibility of condensate levels. This series typically supports a flow rate of 9 liters per second and operates at a maximum pressure of 10 bar.
Both the F72G and F73G series belong to the Excelon modular system, enabling flexible installation options either in-line or modularly alongside other Excelon air preparation products. The F72G models are built with a zinc body, whereas the F73G models utilize an aluminium body. Each filter comes equipped with polycarbonate bowls and a quick-release bayonet design for the bowls. The F72G series can handle flow rates of up to 30 liters per second, while the F73G is rated for 35 liters per second, both maintaining a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar.
All filters in these series offer versatility with available 5-micron or 40-micron filter elements, options for either manual or automatic drain mechanisms, and polycarbonate bowls protected by optional metal guards to withstand harsh environments. The transparent bowls facilitate easy visual monitoring of condensate accumulation. Additionally, the modular design promotes straightforward maintenance and enables easy system expansion as needed.

Applications:
Industrial Automation
Ensuring a clean air supply is essential for the efficient operation of pneumatic actuators, valves, and cylinders in industrial automation systems. Proper air filtration helps in maintaining the longevity and reliability of these components.
Packaging Machinery
Pneumatic components used in packaging and filling equipment require protection from contaminants. Effective air filtration safeguards these parts, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted packaging processes.
Material Handling
Air filtration plays a critical role in material handling systems, including conveyors and pick-and-place units. Clean compressed air contributes to the optimal performance and durability of handling equipment.
General Pneumatic Systems
In manufacturing facilities, removing contaminants from compressed air lines is vital. This practice helps prevent equipment malfunction and maintains consistent production quality across various pneumatic systems.
Compressed Air Distribution
At the point of use, filtration is necessary to ensure tools and equipment receive clean air. This filtration minimizes wear and tear while maximizing operational efficiency.
Food and Beverage Processing
The food and beverage industry depends on dry, filtered air for packaging and processing lines. Clean air is crucial to meet hygiene standards and preserve product quality during production.
Textile Machinery
Textile production machinery relies on pneumatic controls that must be supplied with filtered air. Proper air filtration enhances machine performance and reduces the likelihood of disruptions in textile manufacturing.
Support and Services:
Our Pneumatic Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) units are designed to provide clean, regulated, and lubricated air to pneumatic systems, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your equipment. To maintain the efficiency and reliability of your FRL, it is essential to perform regular maintenance and follow proper operating procedures.
When installing the FRL, ensure it is mounted vertically with the air flow direction matching the arrow marked on the unit. Use appropriate fittings and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage. The filter bowl should be regularly checked and drained to remove accumulated moisture and contaminants.
Adjust the regulator to the desired pressure by turning the adjustment knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease it. The lubricator should be filled with the recommended pneumatic oil and adjusted to deliver the correct amount of lubrication to the downstream equipment.
For cleaning, depressurize the system before removing the filter bowl. Clean the bowl and replace the filter element if it appears clogged or damaged. Use only manufacturer-approved replacement parts to ensure compatibility and performance.
If you experience pressure fluctuations, inadequate filtration, or lubrication issues, inspect the unit for leaks, blockages, or worn components. Regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance will help prevent unexpected downtime and extend the life of your pneumatic system.
Our technical support team is available to assist with troubleshooting, installation guidance, and maintenance recommendations to ensure your FRL operates at peak efficiency. Refer to the product manual for detailed instructions and safety information before servicing the unit.
