Balston Compressed Air Filter Regulator

Description

Parker Balston AFR-940-60-V611 Compressed Air Filter Regulator – 60 PSI

The Parker Balston AFR-940-60-V611 is a high-efficiency compressed air filter and pressure regulator combination designed to protect delicate instruments and pneumatic equipment from dirt, water, and oil contaminants. Operating within a highly controlled 5 to 60 PSI regulation range, this robust unit handles maximum inlet pressures up to 150 PSI. The integrated coalescing filtration system is engineered to capture and remove sub-micron liquid aerosols and solid particulates from the airstream with exceptional efficiency. Encased in a durable housing, the AFR-940-60-V611 serves as an all-in-one air preparation solution that ensures a highly stable, contamination-free air supply for sensitive industrial, laboratory, and automated process control environments.

Technical Performance and Design

• Combined Air Preparation: Seamlessly merges precise downstream pressure regulation with superior coalescing filtration in a single, compact footprint, saving valuable space on pneumatic control panels.

• High-Efficiency Coalescing: Actively traps and purges damaging compressor oil, liquid water droplets, and fine solid pipe scale that standard mechanical particulate filters often leave behind.

• Precision Pressure Control: Optimized for a strict 5 to 60 PSI delivery range, preventing damaging pressure spikes and ensuring stable, repeatable actuation for sensitive downstream instrumentation.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand demanding industrial environments and rated for continuous safe operation at elevated fluid temperatures up to 120°F.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Instrument Protection: The industry standard for supplying ultra-clean, pressure-regulated air to analytical laboratory instruments, process control transmitters, and sensitive pneumatic logic circuits.

• Prevents Equipment Failure: Actively strips abrasive rust and liquid compressor condensate out of the facility’s air supply, significantly extending the service life of downstream pneumatic seals.

• Space Optimization: The dual-function design entirely eliminates the need to pipe a separate particulate filter and pressure regulator in series, reducing potential leak points and cutting installation time.

• Low Maintenance: Engineered for extended operational periods, requiring minimal physical intervention outside of scheduled, routine filter cartridge replacements.
