Pneumatic systems are used extensively in industry, and factories are commonly plumbed with compressed air or compressed inert gases.
This is because a centrally located and electrically powered compressor that powers cylinders and other pneumatic devices through solenoid valves can often provide motive power in a cheaper, safer, more flexible, and more reliable way than a large number of electric motors and actuators.
Pneumatic systems in fixed installations, such as factories, use compressed air because a sustainable supply can be made by compressing atmospheric air. The air usually has moisture removed, and a small quantity of oil is added at the compressor to prevent corrosion and lubricate mechanical components.
Factory-plumbed pneumatic-power users need not worry about poisonous leakage, as the gas is usually just air. Smaller or stand-alone systems can use other compressed gases that present an asphyxiation hazard, such as nitrogen—often referred to as OFN (oxygen-free nitrogen) when supplied in cylinders.
We specialise in supplying actuators and related equipment for every part of the petro-chemical industry, including production, processing, distribution and storage. With over 15 years experience in the industry, we have supplied a number of heavy duty valve actuators and valves to petro-chemical companies across the country.
Packaging is a vast industry with high demand and increasing competition. As demand for food processing and packaging grows, so too does the need for your business to operate more cost efficiently, at a greater yield and as safely as possible.
