09-0151F – Continental Girbau FRL Assembly, Orion 3-Fold Dual Pressure

The 09-0151F is the dedicated FRL (Filter-Regulator-Lubricator) air preparation unit for Continental Girbau Orion flatwork folders equipped with 3-fold stations. This "Dual Pressure" assembly is engineered to manage the complex pneumatic demands of a 3-fold system, splitting the main air supply into two distinct regulated circuits. This allows the machine to apply specific pressure levels for heavy mechanical actuations versus delicate air-blast folds, ensuring precision across all three folding stages.

As the guardian of the folder's pneumatic health, this assembly filters moisture and particulates while delivering a precise oil mist to the expanded valve bank found on 3-fold models. Proper maintenance of this unit is critical for preventing cylinder lag and ensuring the synchronization required for high-speed, multi-fold operations.

Maintenance Tip: Check the pressure gauges daily; a drift in the secondary low-pressure circuit is a common cause of "lazy" or mistimed folds in the final cross-fold section.
