It’s a rare plant that doesn’t use compressed air in some capacity. Whether it’s facilitating a process or just powering tools, compressed air is both a useful and ubiquitous utility. Even if you’re already using compressed air, you may need more if you’re increasing automation or planning an expansion.

A pneumatic system works by moving the material through an enclosed conveying line using a combination of pressure differential and the flow of air (or another gas) from a blower or fan. By controlling the positive or negative pressure and the airflow inside the conveying line, the system can move materials very successfully with very little damage or loss.

A compressed air system operates on pressure. Compressors are a motor-driven mechanical device used to pressurize the air. The motor can be variable speed or shut on and off. The compressed air then passes through a dryer to reduce humidity and is distributed through pipes out to the plant.
