AFC/BFC Series: Integrated Excellence in Air Preparation
The AFC and BFC series are high-performance F.R.L. (Filter-Regulator-Lubricator) units designed to protect your pneumatic equipment and ensure long-term operational stability. By combining an integrated Filter-Regulator with a mist-type Lubricator into a compact 2-unit assembly, the AFC/BFC series provides clean, dry, and lubricated air while significantly reducing installation space and piping complexity.
Key Technical Features & Engineering Highlights
Modular 2-Unit Design: The AFC/BFC series consists of a Filter-Regulator (AFR/BFR) and a Lubricator (AL/BL). This modular configuration provides the same functionality as a 3-unit set but with a smaller footprint and fewer leak points.
High-Efficiency Water Removal: The filter section utilizes a 40μm (standard) or 5μm (optional) element to effectively remove moisture, dust, and contaminants, preventing internal corrosion of valves and cylinders.
Stable Pressure Regulation: The integrated regulator features a balanced design and a secure locking adjustment knob. It provides stable output pressure even under fluctuating inlet conditions, ensuring precise actuator performance.
Proportional Oil Mist Lubrication: The lubricator ensures a stable oil-to-air ratio, providing consistent lubrication to downstream components to reduce friction and extend service life.
Durable & Safe Construction: Equipped with high-strength polycarbonate bowls and metal guards as standard for the BFC series, offering 360-degree visibility of oil and condensate levels with enhanced safety.
Standardized Mounting: All units come with a pre-installed T-type bracket for quick and secure mounting to machine frames or walls.
