• Food Processing:​ Manages pressure in pneumatic systems of food processing equipment for material handling, packaging, and other stages, ensuring food safety.
• Chemical Industry:​ Provides pneumatic control and pressure regulation for processes like reactors and transfer pipelines in chemical production, ensuring operational safety.
• Electronics/Battery Manufacturing:​ Supplies stable pressure control for pneumatic systems in electronic component and battery production equipment, ensuring product quality.

Usage Precautions

• Installation Requirements:​ The regulator should be installed vertically on a horizontal pipe. The medium flow direction must match the arrow on the valve body. An air filter (AF) and an oil mist separator (AM/AFM) should be installed upstream to ensure clean air supply.
• Pressure Setting:​ The outlet pressure should not exceed 85% of the inlet pressure (90% for precision regulators). Pressure should be set in the increasing direction. After adjustment, the setting should be locked.
• Maintenance:​ Regularly inspect filter elements and clean contaminants promptly, typically every 2-3 months. A space of at least 60mm should be left below the regulator for maintenance access.
• Environmental Requirements:​ For regulators operating in chemical solvent vapor, external materials should be metal, not plastic. Regulators with plastic parts should avoid direct sunlight.
