Product Description

Festo MSB4 Air Preparation Combination Unit (531029)

Precision Air Preparation for Demanding Industrial Applications

Product Overview

The Festo MSB4 is a compact, integrated air preparation combination unit designed to deliver clean, regulated, and safe compressed air in automation systems. Engineered for efficiency and flexibility, it combines filtering, regulation, lubrication, and shut-off functions into a modular system. Whether operating in general factory environments or hazardous ATEX-certified zones, the MSB4 enhances pneumatic system reliability, minimizes maintenance, and ensures compliance with global safety standards.


Comprehensive Air Treatment in One Compact Unit

The MSB4 streamlines air preparation with an all-in-one solution. It integrates components like:

  • Pressure regulator with gauge

  • Active carbon filter

  • Soft-start valve

  • On/off valve

  • Membrane dryer

  • Oil mist lubricator

This combination eliminates the need for separate installations, reducing space requirements and simplifying system design.

Tailored for Versatile Industrial Use

Built for adaptability, the MSB4 supports electrical, manual, and pneumatic actuation with a rotary knob actuator lock. It performs flawlessly across vertical orientations (±5°) and is resistant to moderate corrosion (CRC 2). Its wide operating pressure range of 1.5–14 bar and temperature tolerance from -10°C to 60°C make it suitable for a wide array of industrial environments.

Filtration Performance That Meets the Highest Standards

With a filtration range from 0.01 µm to 40 µm, the MSB4 removes fine particles, oils, and moisture to protect sensitive pneumatic components. It supports multiple condensate drain options (manual, semi-auto, and fully automatic) for easy maintenance.

Certified for Hazardous Zones and Global Compliance

The MSB4 complies with:

  • CE, UKCA, and RoHS directives

  • ATEX and UKEX certifications for use in Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22

  • Multiple Explosion Protection Levels (EPL) for gas and dust

This ensures safe and legal operation in explosive or regulated environments.

Optimized for Performance

  • Nominal flow rate: 800 – 1400 l/min

  • Pressure regulation: 1 – 12 bar

  • Materials: Die-cast aluminum housing, polycarbonate bowl

  • Pneumatic connections: G1/8 and G1/4 threading for broad compatibility
