HANDLING TECHNOLOGY

High-quality compressed air for pneumatic handling

Oil-free compressors for pneumatic machines and equipment

Pneumatic handling systems are a key component of modern handling technology. They boost productivity and manufacturing quality whilst relieving staff of monotonous and physically demanding work. Pneumatic handling equipment includes, for example, industrial robots fitted with various manipulators and end-effectors such as pneumatic grippers, which are used for material handling or to operate machinery.
To ensure that pneumatic handling equipment can perform its tasks reliably and efficiently, it requires a high-quality compressed air supply, as dirt particles, moisture or oil in the compressed air can contaminate or damage the seals and moving parts of valves and cylinders within the machine. This can lead to wear and premature failure of the valves and cylinders, which increases maintenance requirements and downtime.

Questions and Answers

What are the requirements for compressed air used in analytical instruments?
Analytical instruments require oil-free, dry and particle-free compressed air. These requirements usually correspond to the compressed air classes set out in ISO 8573-1, typically Class 1:3:1, in order to prevent measurement errors and contamination.
Why is oil-free compressed air particularly important for rheometers?
Rheometers often use compressed air for air bearings. Oil or moisture can impair the bearing’s function and adversely affect measurement accuracy.
Can a laboratory compressor supply power to several analysers?
Yes, if designed appropriately, a central compressed air station can supply several analysers. Alternatively, decentralised solutions such as the SICOLAB mini are a sensible option for individual devices.
What is the difference between SICOLAB and SICOLAB mini?
The SICOLAB is designed for higher flow rates and centralised applications, whilst the SICOLAB mini offers a compact solution for individual workstations and smaller analytical instruments.
Do oil-free compressors require a lot of maintenance?
Oil-free laboratory compressors significantly reduce maintenance requirements, as no oil changes are required and the risk of contamination is minimised.
