Pneumatic Air Preparation

Air Prep Equipment for Pneumatic Systems

Air preparation is the treatment of compressed air to remove potentially damaging water, particles, or oils from the airstream. This can be achieved through pressure regulation or filtration components strategically placed at point of use or where automation equipment is connected to air supplies.

Utilizing air preparation equipment like pneumatic filters, filter regulators, or pneumatic regulators allow any circuits downstream to only be exposed to pressure within desired tolerances. They also reduce the risk for leakage within the stream or points of connection.

If you’re looking for reliable pneumatic air preparation equipment from industry-leading manufacturers and coupled with world-class customer support, you’ve come to the right place. Cross Company Automation can provide the pneumatic air prep equipment your operation needs. Contact us today to learn more about how quality air preparation equipment can increase your efficiency while reducing risk.

Proper Air Preparation Systems

There are many benefits to maintaining reliable air preparation systems. Some of these benefits include protection from particles, unwanted water, oil, or other potential contaminants.

Particle Protection – Particles may come in the form of corrosion, metal shavings, or dust. These particles create friction within the equipment and ultimately degrade the system over time.

Water Protection – Air contains amounts of water vapor which can build up over time and cause problems for pneumatic systems like corrosion, blockages, or rust particles in lines.

Oil Protection – Unwanted oil within lines or systems can lead to particle clumping (which creates blocks) as well as affecting the integrity of any seals used within the system.
