AN Series Compact Air Preparation Units (FRL)

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our AN Series:

Compact, Space-Saving Design:
Significantly smaller and lighter than conventional air preparation units, the AN series is perfect for modern, compact machinery and installations where space is at a premium.

360° Bowl Visibility:
The transparent polycarbonate bowls are designed without a metal guard, offering a clear, unobstructed view of the condensate in the filter and the oil level in the lubricator from any direction, simplifying inspection and maintenance.

Fully Modular & Flexible:
Build the exact air preparation system you need. The AN series components (Filter, Regulator, Lubricator) can be used individually or easily combined to create compact Filter-Regulator (FR) or full FRL assemblies.

Modern & Aesthetic Appearance:
With its clean lines and integrated design, the AN series enhances the professional look of any machine or pneumatic system.

High-Performance Filtration & Regulation:
Despite its smaller size, the AN series delivers excellent performance, featuring high-efficiency filtration (5 & 25 micron options) and precise, stable pressure regulation.

Application Fields

The Modern Choice for Clean, Regulated Air:

OEM Machine Building: The compact footprint and modern look make it a favorite for builders of new, high-tech machinery.

Laboratory & Medical Devices: Where space is limited and a clean, professional appearance is important.

Robotics & Automation: Providing reliable air treatment in tight robotic cell layouts.

Point-of-Use Applications: Ideal for individual workstations or machines that need a dedicated, compact air preparation unit.

Anywhere space, weight, and modern design are key decision factors.

Technical & Selection Guide

Why Choose the AN Series over a Traditional FRL?

For Space Constraints: If you are struggling to fit a standard FRL into your design, the compact AN series is the solution.

For Easy Monitoring: If you need to quickly and frequently check water or oil levels, the 360° visible bowl is a significant advantage over units with guarded bowls.

For a Modern Look: If the visual design of your equipment is important, the sleek AN series provides a much more modern aesthetic.

Available Configurations:

ANF Series: Filter

ANR Series: Regulator

ANL Series: Lubricator

ANW Series: Compact Filter-Regulator (FR Unit)

ANC Series: Compact FRL Unit

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the polycarbonate bowl strong without a metal guard?
A: Yes, the bowl is made from a high-strength, impact-resistant polycarbonate. It is designed for standard industrial environments. For applications with a high risk of severe physical impact, a traditional guarded series might be preferred.

Q: What is the main advantage of the 360° view?
A: It dramatically simplifies maintenance checks. An operator doesn't need to be directly in front of the unit to see if the filter needs draining or the lubricator needs refilling. This can be a huge time-saver in a busy factory.

Q: Can I still combine these units like the older, larger series?
A: Absolutely. The AN series is fully modular. You can easily connect a filter to a regulator, or an FR unit to a lubricator, using our simple modular brackets.
