Specifications

Air Compressor: is the heart of the compressed air system. Ensure it is sized for the
application, is installed in a safe and correct manner, and is
maintained according to the manufacturers guidelines.
Flex Hose: protects the building air lines from any undue vibration caused by
the Compressor, and allows for any mis-alignment between the
Unit outlet and the building piping.
Refrigerated Air Dryer: removes the moisture from the compressed air by lowering its
temperature.
Oil-Water Separator: separates the oil from the moisture drained by the Refrigerated Air
Dryer and Filters. The oil is trapped by internal Filters, while the
water is allowed to be dispensed to the building drain.
Separator Filter: acts as a pre-filter to the Refrigerated Air Dryer.
Coalescing Filter: removes oil from the compressed air
Vibration Isolators: absorb any vibration caused by the Compressor, allow for any
irregularities in the floor, and make the Unit marginally quieter.
Automatic Drain: drains the Compressor Tank on a regular basis.
