QUINCY AIR TREATMENT
TOP AIR QUALITY FOR HIGH-END EQUIPMENT AND PROCESSES
Dry quality air prolongs the life of process equipment and provides superior production
quality, a compact high efficient device to meet continuous air demand.
THE HIDDEN DANGER OF UNTREATED AIR
When the air that surrounds us is compressed, its vapour and particle concentration
increases dramatically. The compression process causes the oil and water vapors to condense
into droplets, and then mixes with a high concentration of particles. The resulting
mixture is an abrasive oily sludge that in many cases is also acidic.
Without air treatment equipment, much of this corrosive sludge will enter the compressed
air system, corroding the pipe work, damaging pneumatic tools and equipment
as well as potentially compromising final product quality.
POOR AIR QUALITY COSTS YOU MONEY
If the corrosive sludge is allowed to enter the compressed air system, it will not be long
before problems start to appear. These are some of the most common and most expensive
problems:
• Tools and equipment break down more regularly, experience a shorter lifetime and
reduced power
• The end product, or other materials that come into contact with the contaminated
air, can suffer spoilage and quality degradation
• The compressed air pipe work will corrode, leading to leaks and a loss of valuable
compressed air
As an example, a small leak of just 3 mm is roughly equivalent to wasting 3.7 kW of electricity
in a year.
