Manufacturers using compressed air need to "prep" the air before it is suitable for machine use. Manufacturers using compressed air need to "prep" the air before it is suitable for machine use. To avoid the hassle of purchasing, installing, and maintaining three separate devices for filtering, regulating, and lubricating, the C1000, C3000, C4000, and C8000 Series of air-preparation devices from ., Rolling Meadows, Ill. ( ), combines all three functions in modular units. Maximum working pressure in these units is 1 Mpa(145 psi), and they will withstand 1.5 Mpa (218 psi). They filter down to 5 µm, but a 0.3-µm filter option effectively separates tar and carbon. The devices work in temperatures from 5 to 60°C. Though it is a polycarbonate bowl is standard in the lubricator, nylon and aluminum bowls are available. new machine lubrication concept -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi It is worthy to note an MIT study calculated that six to seven percent of America's Gross National Product is spent repairing wear damage caused by poor lubrication. Those numbers are from a dow corning advertisement. Crunching the numbers using 14 trillion x 7% = 980 billion. Figure about 5 million high school seniors per year in the country. If we do the math in round numbers that is about $200,000 per high school senior each year. If we could just save 50% thru better lubricators we would certainly be more competitive. I am in the process of developing a pneumatic frl type machine lubricator that makes it possible to detect, monitor and control each and every drop of oil dispensed into the airstream of a machine using compressed air. It is in the prototype stage and has been demonstrated to work as described. You can understand that it has the potential to impact all of industry since it is difficult to
Products & Services
Pneumatic Lubricators
Pneumatic lubricators in compressed air lines atomize oil into aerosol form for injection into the air stream to lubricate downstream pneumatic tools, cylinders, motors, and valves.
Compressed Air Filters
Compressed air filters are used to remove water, oil, oil vapor, dirt, and other contaminants from a compressed air supply.
Air Pressure Regulators
Air pressure regulators control pressure in air lines (usually adjustable) to remove fluctuations and maintain consistent pressure for pneumatic devices.
