Product Overview

The ROSS Controls Full-Size Integrated Filter/Regulator is a high-flow modular air preparation unit combining filtration and pressure regulation for pneumatic systems with port sizes from 1/4" to 3/4" and flow requirements to 180 scfm (5098 l/min). The modular assembly and mounting design enables the to be combined with ROSS lubricators and individual filter units into complete FRL trains, providing a full air preparation system in a compact, plumbing-minimal configuration.

The self-relieving piston-type regulator provides precise, stable outlet pressure control with outlet pressure adjustable up to 125 psig (9 bar). A non-relieving regulator option is available for applications requiring downstream pressure retention. A pressure adjustment locking key is standard on all units, preventing unauthorized pressure changes after commissioning and supporting process consistency requirements across production equipment.

Bowl material options include a polycarbonate plastic filter bowl with steel shatterguard and a zinc bowl with clear nylon sight glass. Three drain configurations are available: internal automatic drain, manual drain, and external automatic drain, providing maximum flexibility for condensate management in different installation environments. The pressure gauge is included on all units.

The targets the higher end of mid-size pneumatic circuit requirements, bridging the gap between standard mid-size units (to approximately 100-138 scfm) and the high-capacity series. Applications include machine tool main air preparation, large automation equipment supply, automotive assembly cell air preparation, and other industrial installations requiring 3/4" port connections and flow to 180 scfm.
