Description
Compressed Air Energy Saver (Air Controller) is a motorized ball valve that is installed in the compressed air line after the air receiver. The Air Controller opens and closes the air supply to the factory, based on customer specific working shifts.
A typical compressed air system has air loss through pipe work connections, leaking float type drains etc.
The Air Controller will open the ball valve at the beginning of a working shift and close the ball valve when the working shift is over. From that point on, all compressed air will remain in the air receiver until the next working shift, rather than being lost through leakages.
The clever and versatile programming feature allows for customer specific settings and is totally adaptable to the working hours of each individual factory.
The Air Controller can be installed in all pipe line systems up to 2”. Remote switching kits are available to operate the Air Controller from a distance.
