NORGREN B72G‑2GK‑AL3‑RMN B72G‑2GK‑AL1‑RMN Excelon Filter‑Regulator G1/4 Auto‑Drain Polycarbonate Bowl 5μm 40μm Push‑Lock Knob 0.3‑10Bar Without Gauge For Pneumatic Control Loops

Product Description:

The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent high-performance filter regulators within the Excelon modular air preparation system. These integrated units effectively combine the functions of filtration and pressure regulation into a single, compact housing. They work by removing water and solid particles from compressed air lines while ensuring precise control of downstream pressure.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Excelon system allows these units to be installed either in-line or modularly alongside other Excelon products. Utilizing Quickclamp connections, the design facilitates easy system expansion and simplifies routine maintenance.

The B72G series is offered with G1/4 and G3/8 port sizes, delivering a flow capacity of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). In comparison, the B73G series provides additional port options — G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2 — and supports a higher flow rate of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both series incorporate a balanced valve mechanism that reduces the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure, guaranteeing consistent regulation performance.

These units come equipped with filter elements made from sintered polypropylene, available in 5 µm or 40 µm grades. Customers can choose between manual or automatic drain options, enhancing flexibility to suit a wide variety of industrial applications.

Additional features include a push-to-lock adjustment knob protected by a tamper-resistant cover, a quick-release bayonet bowl which simplifies maintenance tasks, and full flow gauge ports that enable pressure monitoring without hindering airflow. The transparent polycarbonate bowls give 360-degree visibility of condensate levels, while options for zinc or aluminium bodies ensure robust durability in challenging environments.

Features:

This unit combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation into one compact device, which helps save valuable installation space. Its integrated design streamlines air preparation processes efficiently.

The system supports both in-line and modular installations alongside other Excelon air preparation products. Using Quickclamp connections, it ensures easy and flexible assembly.

There are two filtration grades available, featuring sintered polypropylene filter elements with either 5 µm or 40 µm ratings. These effectively remove contaminants to maintain air purity.

Users can select between manual drains with a simple 1/4-turn mechanism or automatic drain setups, allowing for tailored maintenance preferences.

The transparent polycarbonate bowls offer 360-degree visibility of condensate levels, making it easy to monitor and manage moisture accumulation within the system.

The adjustment knob features a push-to-lock design to prevent unintentional pressure changes. Additionally, a tamper-resistant cover is available for enhanced security.

Its relieving design helps reduce downstream pressure safely when the system is dead-ended, while the balanced valve minimizes the effects of inlet pressure fluctuations to provide stable pressure regulation.

Full flow 1/8" gauge ports enable pressure monitoring without impeding airflow. The quick-release bayonet bowl design allows for fast and tool-free removal of the bowl for element replacement and maintenance.

The device boasts high flow capacities, with the B72G model delivering 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM) and the B73G model offering 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Outlet pressure can be adjusted widely from 0.3 to 10 bar.

Maximum inlet pressure ratings are 10 bar for models with transparent bowls and 17 bar for those with metal bowls. Operating temperatures range from -34°C to +50°C for polycarbonate bowls, and from -20°C to +65°C for metal bowls.

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. To maintain the efficiency and reliability of your FRL unit, regular maintenance and proper handling are essential.

Before installation, ensure that the air supply is clean and free of contaminants. It is recommended to install an initial filter to remove larger particles that could damage the FRL components.

During installation, verify that the unit is mounted in the correct orientation as specified in the product manual. Check all connections for proper sealing to prevent air leaks.

For routine maintenance, regularly inspect and clean the filter element to prevent clogging. Replace the filter element if it shows signs of wear or damage. Drain accumulated water or contaminants from the filter bowl frequently to avoid corrosion and ensure clear airflow.

The regulator should be periodically checked for accurate pressure settings. Adjust the pressure according to the system requirements and monitor for any pressure fluctuations that may indicate a problem.

The lubricator must be refilled with the recommended pneumatic oil to maintain proper lubrication of downstream components. Use only the specified oil type to avoid damage or reduced performance.

If you experience any issues such as air leaks, pressure instability, or reduced airflow, consult the troubleshooting section of the product manual. Common causes include clogged filters, worn seals, or improper installation.

For advanced technical support, replacement parts, or detailed service procedures, refer to the official product documentation or contact your authorized distributor.

Proper care and timely maintenance of your Pneumatic Filter Regulator Lubricator will ensure extended service life and reliable operation of your pneumatic system.
