All compressed air systems suffer from the same common problems of airborne dirt, oil and water contamination entering the system. Failure to remove these contaminants will result in serious problems within the compressed air network and as the majority of applications are external, they are therefore susceptible to climatic conditions. Any moisture remaining in the compressed air system will have a major and detrimental effect on performance and is a contributing factor to fracturing air lines and damaged pneumatic cylinders and equipment caused by freezing and blocked pipes. In addition to the consequences of airborne contamination, the distribution system will also contribute particulate. Higher operating costs, breakdowns and unplanned and unbudgeted maintenance will be required, affecting the single most important value every operator is striving to attain – a reliable operation.

Compressed air purification equipment is essential to all modern production facilities. It must deliver uncompromising performance and the right balance of air quality at the lowest cost of ownership.

Parker domnick hunter has a broad product range that provides a complete and reliable solution to compressed air contamination to give trouble-free clean, oil-free and dry air.
