Once a configuration in the plug-together filter-regulator-lubricator family is selected, Festo can provide it ready-assembled - called off by a single product number - providing efficient purchasing and manufacturing support for replicating OEMs.
With flow rates of up to 22,000 litres of compressed air per minute, the new MS12 is a natural choice for applications with very high air consumption, and is suitable for both centralised and decentralised air supplies within piping networks.
Typical applications include compressor houses, and meeting the high flow demands of equipment such as automotive spraying systems, or PET bottle blowing plants.
The modularity of the MS range makes it simple to configure point-of-use systems for plant with individual air quality requirements.
MS12 has a width of 124 mm and a port size of 2 inches BSP, and complements two smaller modules in the Festo MS product family, together providing a range of port sizes spanning 1/8 to 2 inch BSP.
Air-preparation modules available include pressure regulators, on/off valves, soft-start valves, filters, sensors, lubricators and dryers.
Filters of various grades are available to provide dependable removal of particulates.
MS12 thus fulfils all user requirements with regard to air preparation.
The metal bowls of the filter and lubricator modules ensure safety and secure protection against mechanical damage.
A free-of-charge CAD service provides support for users' own system design work, while the user-friendly connector system for the individual air preparation modules ensures that components can be installed easily and exchanged quickly.
In order to minimise the risk of accidents, safety functions such as lockable pressure regulators and positive-locking filter and lubricator bowls are included as standard. Request a free brochure from Festo ...
