Product catalog summary
Overview: The MD3TM Series by ROSS Controls offers modular pneumatic components such as filters, regulators, and lubricators for compressed air systems, ensuring clean and efficient operations.
Modular Filters: Available with 5, 20, or 40 micron elements, these filters remove 98% of free water. They are made from sintered or fiber materials, suitable for temperatures from 40°F to 125°F for plastic bowls and up to 175°F for metal bowls.
Modular Coalescing Filters: Using 0.3 or 0.01 micron borosilicate glass fiber elements, these filters remove 99.98% of particulates, including oils and contaminants, with options for plastic, metal, or extended metal bowls.
Modular Oil Vapor Removal Filters: These filters use activated carbon elements to remove vapors not captured by coalescing filters, available in similar configurations.
Modular Clean Air Package: Combines a filter, coalescing filter, and oil vapor removal filter for comprehensive air purification, with manual or float drain options and plastic or metal bowls.
Modular Regulators and Lubricators: Includes diaphragm-type regulators and lubricators for atomized oil introduction, mountable modularly or in-line.
Combination Units: Integrated filter/regulator units and filter-regulator-lubricators for streamlined installation.
Accessories: Includes clamps, brackets, end ports, port blocks, silencers, and pressure gauges to complement components.
Flow Charts and Specifications: Detailed flow charts for different port sizes illustrate pressure drop and flow rates, with specifications on materials, temperature ranges, and pressure ratings.
Ordering Information: Guide on configuring model numbers based on options like bowl size, filter type, pipe size, drain type, and cap color.
MD3TM Series Modular Regulators: Constructed with a diaphragm, suitable for temperatures from 40° to 175°F, with a maximum inlet pressure of 300 psig and adjustable outlet pressure up to 200 psig. Features include pressure adjustment locking key and gauge options.
