Air treatment in pneumatic systems involves several stages: filtration to remove impurities like dust, oil, and moisture from compressed air ; regulating the air to the desired pressure value ; intercepting the air using specific valves ; gradual introduction of air into the system ; and integrating a minimal amount of suitable oil. These functions can be combined to create a single unit that can be mounted on a machine.
Pressure and air flow regulators play a key role in maintaining the proper functioning of pneumatic systems. These devices ensure that air is distributed at the correct pressure and flow rate. The pressure regulator specifically regulates the pressure of compressed air, ensuring it stays within the correct value. This allows modulation of the outlet pressure based on the inlet pressure, adapting to the flow variations required by the system. This ensures proper operation and protects pneumatic components from damage caused by excessive or irregular pressures. Its use is essential for the precision and efficiency of automated industrial processes.
