The lightweight, polymer bodied DB-mini air preparation units reliably filter out contaminants including particles, dust, oil and water, reducing wear, contamination and potentially unhealthy exhaust elements.

The regulator function simply reduces compressed air usage, many applications can reduce the operating pressure from 6bar to 4.5bar offering immediate savings of 25 percent without any detrimental effects.

The DB-mini is ideal for all standard compressed air systems; modules include a manual, lockable isolation/dump valve, filter, regulator and for those applications that require an oil mist injection, a lubricator unit. Typical applications are almost universal but include workshops, small assembly and packaging machinery.

For its compact dimensions, the DB-mini provides an exceptionally high flow rate of up to 2,000Nl/min. Suitable for supply pressures up to 7bar, the 40µm filter achieves a purity class of 7.4.4. according to ISO 8573-1:2010.
