Product Overview
The AFR/BFR series filter-regulator valves are integrated air‑source treatment components designed specifically for industrial pneumatic systems. Available in models such as AFR1500/2000 and BFR2000/3000/4000, they combine 40μm air filtration with pressure regulation, effectively removing contaminants and moisture from the air supply while stabilizing output pressure. These valves are widely used to purify air sources and protect downstream components in various industrial pneumatic applications.
Operating Principle
- Compressed air first enters the filter chamber, where centrifugal force removes condensed water, followed by filtration of impurities through a 40μm filter element;
- The filtered air then flows into the regulator chamber, where an internal spring‑and‑spool mechanism adjusts the pressure to the set value;
- When input pressure fluctuates, the regulator automatically compensates to maintain stable output pressure, protecting downstream components such as cylinders and solenoid valves.
Key Advantages and Selling Points
- Full range of specifications: Compatible with multiple connection sizes from G1/8" to G1/2", meeting air‑filtration and pressure‑regulation needs across small to medium‑sized pneumatic systems;
- Integrated filter‑regulator design: Combines 40μm filtration and pressure regulation in one unit, simplifying air‑treatment processes and reducing installation space and costs;
- Wide pressure‑regulation range: Adjustable from 0.05 to 0.85 MPa, with a maximum adjustable pressure of 0.95 MPa and a pressure rating of 1.5 MPa, suitable for most industrial pneumatic system requirements;
- Durable material construction: The body is die‑cast aluminum, with a PE‑material housing; some models feature an iron protective cover, making them well‑suited for harsh industrial environments;
- Stable performance: Simultaneously purifies the air source and stabilizes pressure, minimizing the impact of contaminants and pressure fluctuations on downstream pneumatic components and extending equipment lifespan.
