US-made air prep, built for a century.
American-made. Field-proven.
Arrow Pneumatics has manufactured compressed air filtration and preparation equipment in the USA for over 100 years. Operating from Broadview, Illinois, the company positions itself as the only North American manufacturer that produces a complete line of air preparation products in-house — filters, regulators, lubricators, desiccant dryers, and sintered bronze elements — all built and 100% tested under one roof before they ship.
The product philosophy is straightforward: industrial-grade materials, US-made construction, and standardized housing families that make replacement elements easy to stock and identify. Arrow serves a wide customer base including NAPA, John Deere, Case, Bobcat, and Grainger, giving the line credibility across automotive, agricultural, and general industrial channels.
Arrow's coalescing and particulate filter lines share a compact housing platform across four flow tiers (1/8"–1-1/2" NPT), so a single vendor can cover the full FRL station at the machine inlet — from bulk particulate removal through fine coalescing and lubrication — without mixing brands.
Arrow Pneumatics has built air-prep components in the USA for over a century.
Arrow's filtration, filter-regulator, and FRL combination range means SPC can specify the entire machine-side air-prep assembly — particulate filter, coalescing polisher, regulated pressure, and lubrication — from a single vendor.
Point-of-use air prep is a high-turn, repeat-purchase category.
Automotive Manufacturing → Machine-side FRL and coalescing filtration for pneumatic tooling and paint booths.
Aerospace & Aviation → US-made domestic-content eligible filters for defense and aerospace supply chains.
Food & Beverage Processing → Clean compressed air prep at point-of-use for packaging and process lines.
General Manufacturing → FRL air preparation for pneumatic tools, actuators, and valve trains.
Agriculture & Food Production → Durable field-serviceable FRL units for agricultural OEM and service channels.
Metalworking & Fabrication → Reliable point-of-use filtration and regulated air supply for machining stations. Arrow's housing family spans 1/8" through 1-1/2" NPT across four tiers (Miniature, Standard, Intermediate, High Flow). Match to the machine's inlet port and peak CFM demand — oversizing wastes money; undersizing creates pressure drop.
For bulk particulate and water removal, the F-Series at 40 or 5 micron is the standard choice. Where oil aerosols or fine particles are a concern (paint, food, electronics), step up to the coalescing F-Series rated to 0.03 micron.
Arrow's US-manufactured line is the direct answer for Buy American and domestic-content accounts. No alternative sourcing or documentation burden — the manufacturing location is Broadview, IL.
Arrow's filter-regulator combinations and full FRL units share the same housing platform as the standalone filters, so the whole air-prep train comes from one vendor with consistent element and bowl sizing.
