09-0151 – Continental Girbau FRL Assembly, Orion 2-Fold Dual Pressure

The 09-0151 FRL (Filter-Regulator-Lubricator) assembly is the primary air preparation unit designed for Continental Girbau Orion flatwork folders configured for 2-fold operations. This "Double Pressure" unit features a dual-regulator setup that allows the machine to operate distinct pneumatic circuits at different pressures—typically enabling a high-pressure circuit for heavy mechanical movement and a lower, regulated pressure for delicate folding blasts or specific actuators.

As the critical entry point for the machine's pneumatic system, this assembly filters out moisture and particulates while misting oil into the air stream to lubricate downstream valves and cylinders. Proper functioning of this dual-pressure unit is essential for protecting the Orion's internal components from corrosion and ensuring consistent fold timing across both pressure zones.

Maintenance Tip: drain the water condensate from the filter bowl daily and verify the oil drip rate in the sight glass weekly (typically 1 drop per 10-20 cycles) to prevent dry-running cylinders.
