Airline Equipment
Compressed air is a critical utility in modern manufacturing—but without proper preparation, it can lead to inefficiency, equipment damage, and costly downtime. A well-designed air preparation system ensures that compressed air is clean, dry, and regulated to the optimal pressure for every application.
Our compressed air preparation solutions are engineered to remove contaminants such as moisture, oil, and particulates while maintaining consistent pressure and flow. From filters and regulators to dryers and lubricators, each component plays a vital role in protecting downstream equipment, improving system performance, and extending service life.
Whether you're optimizing an existing system or designing a new one, effective air preparation helps reduce maintenance costs, enhance reliability, and ensure your pneumatic equipment operates at peak efficiency.
Combination Units
FRL Units can be assembled with a variety of combinations. Add mist separators, pressure switches, shut-off valves to any combination of Filter, Regulator, or Lubricator to optimize flow rate and filtration ratings at point-of-use compressed air systems. Meet energy savings goals and save space on the production floor with the modular design of units.
Filters
Modular style air filters combine the element and bowl in one piece, for simple replacement requiring no tools. The standard polycarbonate 360° transparent bowl avoids corrosion, easily indicates bowl contents and has auto drain capability to minimize maintenance time. SMC pneumatic filters have a standard filtration rating of 5 microns and the capability to filter up to 0.01 microns.
Pressure Regulators
An air pressure regulator controls and maintains a constant output pressure from a compressed air system, even when the input pressure or air demand changes.
Lubricators
Modular lubricator models are available to connect directly to filter and regulator elements to create a single air preparation module for pneumatic equipment.
Air Management System
The Air Management System automatically regulates and isolates the compressed air provided to a machine to improve efficiencies during periods of inactivity. The unit generates pressure, flow, and temperature data to characterize normal operating conditions and identify trends to both compare with similar machines and enable preventative action to maintain optimal system performance. The unit does not require reprogramming of the user's PLC to operate, making integration both simple and cost effective. The high-resolution data is accessed by the PLC via fieldbus and SCADA packages via OPC UA. Using OPC UA and wireless systems, the Air Management System can be added without connector to the PLC or changes to PLC programming.

- Flow, pressure and temperature sensing
- Standby (reduced pressure) and isolation mode functions to reduce air losses during idle periods
- Electropneumatic or manual regulation of standby pressure
- 4 sizes: 0-500, 0-1,000, 0-2,000 and 0-4,000 lpm
- Modular connection to SMC air preparation
Pressure Gauges
Pressure gauges range from 0 to 1.5 MPa for a variety of types, including specialized gauges: oil-free/external parts copper-free, clean series and gauge with pressure switch.
Blow Guns & Air Nozzles
30~90% of air consumption required for the current nozzle operation can be saved with the appropriate selection of the new nozzle and sizing. Many variations of nozzles are available with tube materials including nylon, soft nylon, soft copper pipe and OST tubing.
Silencers & Exhaust Cleaners
The high noise reduction style silencers keeps the noise level inside a plant below 85dB(A) with a noise reduction effect of 40dB(A). Exhaust cleaners insure clean plant air and reduce noise pollution over 35dB. The AMC series also removes over 99.9% of oil mist.
Air Flow Sensor
Modular air flow sensors provide instantaneous and cumulative flow of compress air.
Soft Start Up Valve
Soft start-up valves enable a gradual initial pressurization of a system and quick exhaust by blocking the supply of air to minimize system shock.
Shut Off Valves
Shut off valves isolate supplied pressure in a pneumatic system and exhaust downstream pressure for maintenance purposes. They can be used alone or connected to an FRL assembly using modular spaces, ultimately saving air line downtime and cost when maintenance is necessary.
Airline Equipment Clean Room Products
Avoid costly contaminants with specialty clean room products that are cleaned, inspected and double-packaged in a certified clean room environment.
Modular Mounting
JSXM series is a 2 port direct operated valve for air that can be modularly installed with FRL (AC-D) units. When the coil is in OFF position, JSXM pass through the air from the main path. When coil is in ON position, JSXM will flow air from main path to its blow port. JSXM series provide flexibility to supply clean dry air to different areas of the machine without additional plumbing.
Nitrogen Generator
The membrane type nitrogen generators allows point of use generation of nitrogen enriched air simply by providing clean compressed air.
