Air Preparation


The lay-out of air-supply piping, the selection of adequate hose sizes and appropriate fittings and couplers and the preparation of air before it enters a tool are very important.

Why efficient treatment of compressed air at the work station is vital?
The harmful agents in a compressed air system are:

Liquids & condensates:

Cause line corrosion
Cause reduced performance of tools and cylinders
Cause lubricants to wash away

Compressor oil:

Forms corrosive acids from lubricant aerosols
Forms sticky emulsions, reducing tools' speed and performance
Forms clogging residues

Solid contaminants:

Cause premature wear and damage to controls, tools and cylinders
Cause seizing and scoring of cylinders and air powered motors

Proper air preparation will result in improved performance and increased tool life.

Filtering, regulating & lubricating at the work station
Compressed-air treatment program units and modular components are indispensable to insure maximum efficiency of controls, pneumatic tools, air cylinders and other pneumatic equipment.
They allow:

To prolong pneumatic equipment life as well as of air cylinders
Proper filtering and lubricating of air prolong their life and top performance by a ratio of 1 to 20
Increase tools and equipment performance up to standard of efficiency, by preventing damages due to overheat and seizure
They insure a dependable source of smooth vibrationless power to operate tools at an efficient and steady speed
To reduce downtime, therefore improve the overall performance and efficiency of any compressed air system, tools, air cylinders or other pneumatic equipment

Proper usage of compressed air calls for:

Filters/micro coalescing:

To remove moisture and particles

Regulators:

To control pressure for the particular use

Gauges:

To show pressure

Lubrificators:

To protect power tools by injecting a metered quantity of lubricant

Components may be purchased separately or in pre-assembled combinations
