Wilkerson industrial air preparation equipment and pneumatic components

Modular air preparation stations, industrial filters, and precision regulators from Wilkerson deliver dependable performance across pneumatic automation lines and machine tools.

Wilkerson modular FRL compressed air preparation systems

Wilkerson modular air treatment assemblies across series 08, 18, and 28 combine particulate filtration, precise pressure reduction, and oil fog delivery into one rigid structure. The design removes external pipe nipples, cuts pressure drops, and optimizes panel space on production tooling.

Modular bracket assembly allows swift element replacement without pipe disassembly
Integrated filter, pressure valve, and lubricator inside unified structural bodies
Low aerodynamic resistance across elevated pneumatic flow velocity profiles
Component identification and bracket sizing derived from equipment serial tags

Wilkerson F series particulate and air line filters

Wilkerson F08, F18, and F28 industrial particulate filters remove rust, scale, and liquid moisture down to 5 microns. An integrated swirl vane creates centrifugal force to sling water droplets toward the sump reservoir, sheltered by a rugged aluminum housing against accidental impacts.

Standard five-micron porous filtration media for primary pneumatic line protection
Transparent polycarbonate bowls protected by robust external aluminum guards
Flexible drain configurations including manual twist valves and automatic float drains
Rapid selection of replacement filter inserts, O-ring seals, and drain mechanisms

Wilkerson M series coalescing oil removal filters

Wilkerson coalescing filters in the M08, M16, M18, and M28 product families extract airborne oil aerosols and submicron droplets down to 0.01 micron. The borosilicate matrix agglomerates fine mists into bulk fluid, delivering purified air for automation valves and pneumatic instrumentation.

High-efficiency submicron borosilicate elements for critical oil mist separation
Visual differential pressure pop-up indicators to monitor filter element loading
Downstream oil aerosol concentration held below 0.01 milligrams per cubic meter
Direct lookup of replacement media packs, differential gauges, and bowl assemblies

Wilkerson R and WRA series precision pressure regulators

Wilkerson pressure regulators across models R08, R18, R28, and WRA171 vacuum units feature balanced poppet valves ensuring constant secondary pressure under shifting pneumatic volume demand. Responsive diaphragm designs minimize hysteresis across sensitive industrial actuation tooling.

Balanced poppet construction limits output pressure drift caused by supply spikes
Dual opposing port connections for flexible installation of visual pressure gauges
Adjustable secondary spans from 0.2 to 17 bar with push-to-lock adjustment knobs
Availability of diaphragm service packs, control springs, and precision valve seats

Wilkerson L series EconOmist proportional lubricators

Wilkerson EconOmist lubricators across series L08, L18, and L28 inject atomized lubricant into air streams in direct proportion to airflow demand. The proprietary Flow Guide mechanism preserves uniform oil density across fluctuating velocities, preventing friction inside pneumatic actuators.

Proportional oil mist generation sustaining constant density across flow variances
Transparent sight dome allowing precise visual adjustment of lubricant droplet rates
Safe lubricant replenishment into the reservoir bowl while lines remain under pressure
Complete selection of replacement feed nozzles, sight domes, and internal check valves

Wilkerson C series combination units and DD10 dryers

Wilkerson combined filter-regulators in series B18, C16/17, and DD10 inline point-of-use dryers deliver complete air treatment within tight machinery envelopes. Integrated desiccant dryers absorb water vapor to lower the pressure dew point, stopping moisture formation in downstream pneumatic tools.

Monobloc filter-regulator combinations providing full conditioning in small footprints
Point-of-use inline desiccant dryers series DD10 with moisture-indicating silica beads
Rigid metallic housings engineered to withstand high vibration and mechanical strain
Fast lookup of desiccant cartridges, internal separator baffles, and seal gaskets

Design principles and modular assembly of Wilkerson FRL air treatment systems

Wilkerson modular compressed air preparation units in series 08, 18, and 28 adhere to the proprietary Total Systems Approach to Air Preparation.

Each system module connects to neighboring units using dedicated T-bracket joints fitted with nitrile O-ring seals, removing any requirement for threaded pipe nipples or intermediate plumbing fittings.

Technicians can detach individual filter, regulator, or lubricator modules for routine servicing without disassembling the rigid plant distribution headers.

Flow passages feature optimized internal cross-sections that reduce aerodynamic friction, maintaining smooth fluid transport at elevated flow rates.

Two-stage moisture separation and particulate filtration in series F08, F18, and F28

Wilkerson F08, F18, F28, and F30 particulate filters utilize a two-stage purification methodology to purify plant compressed air.

In the initial stage, an inlet deflector imparts high rotational velocity to incoming airflow, slinging bulk water droplets, compressor lubricant remnants, and solid debris against the inner walls of the polycarbonate or metallic reservoir.

The pre-cleaned stream subsequently traverses a porous sintered bronze or synthetic element rated at 5 microns, stopping fine airborne particulates. Transparent bowls feature protective aluminum outer shrouds, and drain mechanisms include manual petcocks or automatic float valves.

Submicron oil aerosol removal via Wilkerson M series coalescing filter elements

Wilkerson M08, M16, M18, and M28 coalescing filters target the elimination of submicron oil aerosols, liquid mists, and hydrocarbon particles down to 0.01 micron. The pleated element incorporates layers of borosilicate microglass fibers layered in graded density.

As aerosol droplets penetrate the matrix, they collide with microfibers, coalesce into larger liquid drops, and trickle downward into the quiet collection zone.

A visual differential pressure indicator installed on the upper body provides real-time information regarding element saturation, ensuring timely maintenance before pressure drops impact downstream automation.

Engineering architecture of R08, R18, and R28 precision pressure regulation valves

Wilkerson pressure regulators in series R08, R18, R28, alongside WRA171 precision vacuum regulators, feature balanced poppet architecture with resilient elastomeric seats.

The balanced valve design cancels fluctuations in primary supply pressure, holding secondary operating pressure across industrial actuators with tight repeatability.

A flexible reinforced diaphragm provides generous surface area, yielding rapid response to minor demand changes on plant production tools. An integrated relieving vent releases accumulated downstream pressure when operators dial down system settings via the push-lock adjustment knob.

Hydrodynamic lubrication delivery and proportional control in L series EconOmist units

Wilkerson EconOmist lubricators across series L08, L18, and L28 provide dependable atomization of lubricant droplets into air streams supplying directional valves, rotary actuators, and pneumatic cylinders.

An integrated elastomeric Flow Guide sensor dynamically adapts flow orifice area to shifting pneumatic demand, preserving a proportional oil-to-air delivery ratio from minimal idle rates to peak consumption.

A transparent sight dome permits visual tuning of droplet rates, while a safety siphon check valve enables operators to replenish the oil reservoir without depressurizing the production line.

Dew point suppression and tool protection with C series combos and DD10 dryers

To prevent internal corrosion in pneumatic tools and stop moisture condensation in cold ambient lines, Wilkerson produces compact C16/17, C26/27 monobloc combos and DD10 inline point-of-use desiccant dryers.

The DD10 miniature unit installs directly upstream of sensitive spray heads, testing gauges, and hand tools. Its transparent polycarbonate shell holds silica beads featuring color-shift indication that signals when desiccant requires regeneration or replacement.

The C series combination units pair filtration and pressure control within one aluminum body fitted with a flush pressure gauge.
