Aignep Evo FRL Series Filter-Regulator (Piggyback)

Space-Saving Efficiency | 2-in-1 Filtration & Control | Advanced Technopolymer

Streamline your pneumatic installation with the Aignep Evo FRL Series Filter-Regulator. This “Piggyback” unit combines the functionality of a high-efficiency particulate filter and a precision pressure regulator into a single, vertical stack. It is the perfect solution for applications where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

Engineered with Aignep’s next-generation technopolymer construction, the Evo Filter-Regulator offers a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional metal FRLs. It delivers clean, dry air at a stable pressure, protecting your downstream tools from both contamination and over-pressurization in one compact footprint.

Dual-Action Performance

  1. Filtration (The Guard)
  • Condensate Removal: Utilizes centrifugal force to separate water droplets from the air stream, collecting them in a transparent bowl for easy draining.
  • Particulate Scrubbing: Equipped with a standard 20 micron (or optional 5 micron) filter element to trap dust, rust, and pipe scale, preventing internal damage to valves and cylinders.
  • Drain Options: Choose from Semi-Automatic (drains when air is cut) or Automatic (drains as water accumulates) to suit your maintenance schedule.
  1. Regulation (The Control)
  • Stable Pressure: The integrated regulator uses a rolling diaphragm to maintain constant outlet pressure, even when inlet pressure fluctuates.
  • Lockable Precision: The adjustment knob features a push-to-lock mechanism, securing your pressure setting against vibration or accidental tampering.
  • Safety Relieving: Automatically vents excess downstream pressure if it exceeds the set point, protecting your equipment from dangerous pressure spikes.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Compact “Piggyback” Design: By stacking the regulator directly on top of the filter, this unit saves horizontal rail space, making it ideal for tight control cabinets or small machine enclosures.
  • Robust Metal Threads: Features integrated Nickel-Plated Brass inserts on the inlet and outlet ports (NPTF or BSPP). This ensures a leak-free, high-torque connection that won’t strip, unlike standard all-plastic units.
  • High-Visibility Bowl: The transparent technopolymer bowl offers 360° visibility of filter condition and condensate levels without the need for heavy metal guards.
  • Silicon-Free: Manufactured without silicon, making it safe for use in paint booths and coating applications where contamination must be avoided.
