Compressed air is among the most important forms of energy used in production processes these days.
It is, and should be considered as, a resource, rather than a service. A full, integrated compressed air solution makes it possible for users to maximize their system's performance.
With this in mind, Gardner Denver – Bottarini have introduced a number of accessories designed and developed to provide a comprehensive solution:
Filters : To clear the air of residues – be they of atmospheric origin (humidity, salts, suspended particulates, etc.) or industrial origin (oil, dirt, etc).Designed for industrial applications but also for pharmaceutical, hospital and food applications – where air purity is an absolute prerequisite.
Dryers : To remove water vapour from the system. Two different types of driers can be used
- Refrigerant dryers. They provide 95% of dried air. They are suitable for standard industrial processes not requiring 100% dried air;
- Adsorption driers . They provide 100% dried air and are suitable for special processes that require fully dried air, such as for instance hospital, food applications, etc.
Water / Oil separators : Separators treat the condensate eliminated by the drier by separating water from residual particles of oil. This way, up to 99% of condensate can be disposed of directly in the sewage system, thereby minimizing the costs that would otherwise be incurred for oil/water mix disposal.
Automatic condensate drain systems : Built-up condensate is periodically drained from the system to ensure the smooth running of the equipment.
Electronic control panel : Ideal for compressor rooms, this panel is capable of controlling from 2 to 4 compressors. It keeps the air pressure monitored to keep it consistent within the system; it controls reaction and rotations times for each compressor in operation, thereby ensuring an even use of compressors.
Tanks with capacities from 200 to 3000 litres , type-approved for pressure up to 15 bar, complete with safety valve, gate valve, and manual condensate drainage cock.
