Air filter regulators are simpler, less expensive devices that play a vital role in any pneumatic system. These units serve two different purposes simultaneously. First, they filter liquid and particulate matter from the air source. Second, they provide smooth, reliable air pressure to some other process or equipment in the system.

    The importance of these types of regulators is based on cost savings in two different ways. More sensitive units, such as I/P sensors and valve positioners, contain components such as eyelet screws, spool valves, and circuit boards. Dirty air is the most common cause of IP sensor failure. By using filter conditioners, you can protect more sensitive and potentially more expensive equipment from damage that could lead to expensive repairs or the need to replace equipment.

    The second area of ​​cost savings involves whatever happens downstream of the filter regulator. If there is a device downstream whose output will vary depending on the input pressure to the device, a steady air supply must be provided to the device. Air coming directly from the compressor may fluctuate depending on the state of the air compressor. If this pressure fluctuation of the supply air is changing the output of a downstream unit, such as a plastic extrusion application, the final product may not be usable if the process air pressure is too far from the intended set point. By conditioning and filtering the air from the compressor, you will be able to provide a very stable supply air pressure to the unit that controls the process pressure, as the filter regulator handles supply air fluctuations well.
