Pneumatic equipment: uses and safety notes

Pneumatics is the use of compressed air to carry energy and do mechanical work. Unlike hydraulics, it runs on air, so it is fast, clean and safe for food, pharmaceutical, packaging, glass, ceramic and textile plants.

The main components

A compressor, air preparation, valves, actuators and the fittings and hose between them.

Safety

Release the pressure before any work, use the right working pressure for every part, and keep guards on moving cylinders.
