productThe origins of modern compressed air filtration can be traced back to domnick hunter in 1963, the first company to use microfibre filter media for purification applications, changing the compressed air industry forever.
productRichard Moore, at Parker Hannifin’s domnick hunter Industrial division, looks at the importance of selecting compressed air filtration for both air quality and lifetime operating cost, rather than just initial purchase cost
newsDesigned for vision inspection systems, machine vision applications and industrial borescopes, PerkinElmer fibre optic illuminators are said to provide energy-efficient, maintenance-free illumination with very long lifetimes of 25,000 hours.
newsA new technical brochures from Parker details energy saving compressed air treatment solutions.
productOne of the questions most frequently asked by compressed air users is, without doubt, “Why should I replace my filter elements annually?†Parker gives the answer…
productAs the most prolific contaminant in compressed air systems, it is vital to ensure that all viable water vapour is removed using air dryers before it can enter a pneumatic system. Indeed, if not removed, moisture will cause corrosion of the distribution system,blocked or frozen valves and machinery, as well as providing an ideal breeding ground for micro-organisms and bacteria
productUsing a combination of oil flooded screw compressors and high efficiency filtration has become well established and accepted over the years, with many critical industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical and medical, all utilising this high quality, low cost solution.
productEscaping air is often the biggest single source of wasted
energy associated with a compressed air system, but the
problem does not always stem from faulty piping, fittings
and joints. Inefficient condensate drains can also
newsCoalescing filters are generally considered to be one of the most important items of purification equipment in a compressed air system, as they remove aerosols of water and oil, while eradicating solid particulates and micro-organisms.
productMoisture is the major culprit found in all compressed air systems and occurs because atmospheric water vapour, drawn in by the compressor, cools and condenses into water.
