ARO-Flo Series clears the air for any tool and any application
The ARO Fluid Technologies business of Ingersoll Rand is releasing an expanded and improved ARO-Flo Series of filters, regulators and lubricators to clean and lubricate air for use with pneumatic tools. The upgraded line includes a new size and a new completely modular design that provides easier assembly and maintenance of the units and allows for more customization to meet specifications of various applications.
The enhanced ARO-Flo products come in four series, varying in port size and maximum flow for optimal fit to the application and tools used:
-Miniature 1000 Series with 1/8” and 1/4” ports, and a maximum flow of 27 Liters/sec.
-All-new Compact 1500 Series with 1/4” and 3/8” ports, and a maximum flow of 109 Liters/sec.
-Standard 2000 Series with 3/8”, 1/2”, and 3/4” ports, and a maximum flow of 104 Liters/sec.
-Heavy-Duty 3000 Series with 3/4” and 1” ports, and a maximum flow of 180 Liters/sec.
Key advantages of the upgraded ARO-Flo products are optimal performance and improved safety.
A unique new feature with the new series is the integral gauge fan. This adjustable, easy-to-follow visual display allows the operator to quickly monitor that the pressure stays within the targeted range. Furthermore T-brackets and panel nuts, which had been optional, are now standard.
Several safety features have been implemented. Most notably is the positive-locking thumb switch on all polycarbonate filter bowls. The lock engages and disengages manually with an audible click to ensure it is securely in place.
The ARO-Flo Series has a full line of accessories available that promote a safer working environment. A check valve prevents pressure backflow, a slow-start valve allows pressure to build gradually upon system start-up, and a lock-out valve allows the operator to manually close off the downstream air when maintenance is required. Other accessories include a pressure switch, manifold block kit and refurbishing kits. Rounding out the complete offering of ARO filter, regulator and lubricator products are the current super-duty series and specialty precision regulators.
