Air flow control
September 1st 2008 Parker Hannifin has introduced a
range of air fuses that protect
operators of pneumatic equipment
from the hazards associated with
broken compressed-air hose. The
Moduflex AirGuard system enables
plant managers to comply with
increasingly stringent guidelines on
pneumatic equipment.
The Moduflex AirGuard system
ensures the main air flow is
immediately shut off if the volume
of air exceeds a set value. The
value is pre-set to allow normal
air consumption when
using normal air tools.
An integral bleed hole
allows some air to flow
through, enabling the
line pressure to
automatically reset the
AirGuard once the line
break is repaired.
Parker Hannifin says the devices
components can be easily fitted
with no adjustment necessary,
providing tamperproof protection.
The system is compatible with
hose, tube or pipe sizes from 1/4"
– 2", with a maximum inlet
pressure of up to 35 bar.
Components are high visibility
yellow, with stainless steel versions
available. More articles from Parker Hannifin Ltd: |
