Excelon® Plus Air Preparation 05
Maximizing Up-time
Correct application of lubricators ensures
the system runs efficiently for longer. Correct
application of oil can extend the life of an
actuator by up to 5 times, however they need to
be specified correctly and regularly maintained.
Filters need to have effective draining
systems and need to be maintained
regularly to ensure downstream air is free
from contamination. Excess liquid water
is the biggest cause of failure in systems
which do not have large plant dryers. Most
bulk water as well as coarse particles can
be removed with a general purpose filter.
However these filters need to be maintained
regularly and have effective condensate
drain mechanisms to ensure downstream
air remains free from contamination.
Correctly specified, well maintained air
preparation is essential to the effective
operation of any compressed air system.
Whether a large factory air supply, or
a small high speed processing machine
air preparation equipment are the tools
to make it safe, optimize the running
costs and keep the machines running.
