With the advancement of global industrial technology, industrial production mechanization, automation, and intelligent applications have become increasingly widespread. In particular, repetitive, low cost and simple work structures are replaced by automation equipment. These high-precision automation equipment are primarily needed for enterprise production.

When the user chooses pneumatic mechanical equipment, the quality of the product is very highly required, but in the use of often encounter a lot of problems, such as pneumatic equipment, action, life can not meet the standard, often failure leads to poor automation equipment efficiency, reduced stability.

Even after the user repairs or replaces the component, the performance does not meet the standard requirements. This is because users ignore the importance of clean compressed air for pneumatic equipment.

How do pollutants in compressed air affect pneumatic systems in general?

Water in compressed air will corrosion pipelines, control components, actuator components, etc., resulting in a shorter service life.

If the temperature is reduced to the freezing point, the water contained in compressed air may freeze. This may result in the volume of compressed air expanding and the pneumatic components being damaged. When water is mixed into the lubricating oil, the oil deteriorates, causing the actuator stroke not to work.

The impurities formed by oil pollutants in the compressed air will affect the performance and life of rubber components. Mixed with other impurities, the degraded oil will form sludge, and some of the sludge will be attached to the pipeline and pneumatic components, which will increase resistance, and even block the control channel, resulting in control pressure disorders and control components failure.

When the dust and rusty crumbs enter the pneumatic element, they will affect the coordination of the cylinder. This will cause metal powder to form, shortening the service life of the pneumatic element, and possibly causing the component to become stuck and fail. Additionally, powder will accelerate the blockage of air filter, resulting in an increase in flow resistance.

If the compressed air treatment is not up to standard, resulting in equipment operation lag, insufficient travel and other defects, affecting production operations, increased enterprise operating costs. So when configuring compressed air systems, HSAIR recommend users select high quality gas-water separators, refrigeration air dryers for removing water, and multiple high-efficiency air line filters for removing solid particles and oil mist.
