Product Description:
The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent high-performance filter regulators within the Excelon modular air preparation system. These compact, integrated units effectively combine filtration and pressure regulation into one cohesive housing. They are designed to remove water and solid particles from compressed air lines while ensuring precise maintenance of downstream pressure.
Featuring the innovative Excelon design, these units can be installed either in-line or modularly alongside other Excelon products. The Quickclamp connection system simplifies installation, system expansion, and maintenance, making these filter regulators highly adaptable and user-friendly.
The B72G series comes with port options of G1/4 and G3/8 and supports a flow rate of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). Meanwhile, the B73G series offers a wider range of port sizes including G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2, and delivers a higher flow rate of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both series incorporate a balanced valve design that minimizes the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on outlet pressure, thereby providing stable and reliable regulation.
These units are equipped with filter elements made from sintered polypropylene, available in 5 µm or 40 µm ratings, and come with either manual or automatic drain options. This flexibility makes them suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial applications.
Additional features include a push-to-lock adjustment knob safeguarded by a tamper-resistant cover, a quick-release bayonet bowl that facilitates straightforward maintenance, and full flow gauge ports enabling pressure monitoring without limiting airflow. The transparent polycarbonate bowls offer 360° visibility of condensate levels, while durable zinc and aluminium body options ensure longevity in demanding operational environments.
Features:
