Air Purification System
Do you have any of these problems?
Start-up failure and high product rejection rates
Hopper supply failure
?
Uneven paint distribution
High air leakage and reduced service life of valves
and actuators
Lowering of cylinder output force
Pressure control failure
Large pressure drops, high filter replacement rates
and large drain outflows on the downstream side
Constantly flowing auto drain

Problems with compressed air
Compressed air is made by compressing ambient air. During in this process, substances
are taken in with the ambient air, and additionally other substances are added during the
compression and delivery of the air.

Compressed air includes foreign objects such as moisture (water vapour, water droplets),
oil and debris. Water droplets, oil and debris can be removed by using air filters, mist
separators, etc., but it is necessary to eliminate moisture by using a dryer.

The values for flow capacity are for reference only and are based upon the compressor's output.
The table below is for situations where the pressure dew point (PDP) is 3C, 7C and 10C at 0.7 MPa.
Refer to catalogue ES30-9 Refrigerated Air Dryer and SMC's Best Pneumatics catalogue when other pressure dew points are required.
