Modular FRL units offer better visibility and environmental resistance

August 12, 2021 By Mary Gannon

The new ACD FRL unit from SMC USA features a modular design with uniform body style, better visibility and environmental resistance.

SMC ACD FRLsFeaturing a 2-layer construction, the bowl is covered with a transparent bowl guard. The bowl guard with windows has been replaced with a polycarbonate transparent bowl guard. Now, even if the environment changes and the bowl is exposed to corrosive chemical or oil splash, the foreign matter will not come into direct contact with the pressurized bowl. This can reduce the risk of bowl breakage.

New sizes 40-06, 50, and 60 have been added to the AC series. Sizes 40-06, 50, and 60 have been added to the AF, AR(K), and AL series. The VHS40-06 and 50 have been added. Size 40-06 has been added to the AFM/AFD. Sizes 40-06 and 60 have been added to the AW(K). Made to order options have been added.

They are available with a variety of gauges, including square embedded type gauge, round type, or a digital pressure switch.
