Air tools
Compressed air is an essential power source that is widely used throughout
industry. This safe, powerful and reliable utility can be the most important
part of your manufacturing process.
However, compressed air contains water, dirt, wear particles and even degraded
lubricating oil which all mix together to form an unwanted condensate. This
condensate often acidic, rapidly wears tools and pneumatic machinery, blocks
valves and orifices causing high maintenance and costly air leaks. It also corrodes
piping systems and can bring your manufacturing process to an extremely expensive
standstill!
The use of high efficiency compressed air filters fitted with condensate drains
will remove the oil, water and dirt particles to eliminate the abrasive sludge
in the compressed air system.
In many cases this action alone is not enough, as modern production systems
and processes demand an even higher level of air quality. Where required, “point
of use” desiccant air dryers can provide the correct air quality, without
the need for drying the complete compressed air installation, which can be both
costly and totally unneccessary.
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.
Respiratory Protection for Hazardous
Environments
Hazardous particulates are released during sanding, grinding, sandblasting
and shotblasting operations making effective respiratory protection for the
user essential. In most cases simple orinasal, cartridge based filtering masks
do not provide acceptable protection for the user and where the risk is serious,
an air fed respirator must be used.
To assist employers complying with current legislation, Parker domnick hunter
offers a complete range of Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE) from portable
systems suitable for single person use to full facility protection.
Parker domnick hunter RPE consists of an air fed range that filters compressed
air to remove all harmful particulates, odours and fumes providing a safe working
environment for operators of paint spraying equipment.
Full support and guidance on system design, product selection and on-site
testing to EN 12021 is available to provide the most cost effective solution
for your application.
Compliance with International Breathing Air standards means you can be sure
of a safe air supply that provides effective protection from harmful substances
and maintains employee health.
Paint spraying
Quality Air Means Quality Finish
Compressed air contains unwanted contamination in the form of dirt, water
and oil. These contaminants mix together to form acidic, abrasive condensate,
even when oil-free compressors are used.
During finishing processes, a high quality surface finish is essential, with
blisters, craters and loss of adhesion being common symptoms, which leads to
expensive rework and loss of reputation.
Get it right first time by installing Parker domnick hunter high efficiency
filtration and drying products, the latest technology in compressed air purification.
They will remove dirt, water and oil to the highest ISO 8573.1 industry standard
to provide totally clean and dry compressed air for a quality paint finish every
time.
Health & Safety in Paint Spraying Applications
Hazardous vapours and fumes are released at various stages within paint spraying
applications. Whether this risk is noxious fumes such as polyisocyanates associated
with most paints and solvents or oil vapours from the compressor, effective
respiratory protection for the user is essential. Even particulate dusts from
grinding and sanding processes can be harmful to health.
In most cases simple orinasal, cartridge based filtering masks do not provide

must be used.

General air
All compressed air systems suffer from the same common problems of airborne
dirt, oil and water contamination
entering the system. These are intensified when air is compressed. Failure to
remove these contaminants will
result in serious problems within the compressed air network including corroded
piping and damaged pneumatic
equipment. In addition to the consequences of airborne contamination, the distribution
system will also contribute
particulate. This all results in higher operating costs, potential downtime
and spoilt products.
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.
