Air Booster for Optimal Working Pressure
Author: peterduffy | Posted: 13.01.2012An air amplifier is an apt tool for boosting plant air pressure making it a preferred choice across industries. It is used to increase air pressure at work stations and pneumatically operated machines when the available working pressure is insufficient. An air amplifier is also referred to as an air booster.
When teamed with different kinds of air operated machines, these air amplifiers help increase their output. Under standard operating conditions, one can expect air boosters to generate pressure ranging from 30 PSI up to 4,350 PSI. If you are considering the purchase of an air amplifier, it’s prudent to opt for brands such as Maximator and Maxpro. These brands are distributed by some noted dealers who would discuss your requirements and suggest just the right product for you. These dealers can be found on the Internet, thus making your hunt easier.
How does an Air Booster work?
As you are aware, these machines are a valuable tool in increasing existing plant air to higher pressures. Each air amplifier has a spool valve that acts like a 4-way directional control valve. The plant air is delivered to this spool valve that automatically cycles back and forth. As the spoon cycles, this air is alternately directed to the main air drive piston in the air drive cylinder. This leads to the back and forth motion of the piston in the air amplifier.
The air then moves to a high pressure section through the inlet check valve(s) and is pressed out of the chamber, through the outlet check valve(s). This reciprocating movement between the air drive section and the high pressure section is what leads to a positive displacement of air through the inlet and outlet check valves.
Air booster brand Maximator is among the most preferred ones because of their quality components. You could source these air amplifiers from prominent dealers who also offer you services relating to maintenance and repairs. When you purchase such an amplifier you could install them in any position. However, experts suggest that installing your air amplifiers in a vertical position will ensure a much longer seal life. Here are some air amplifier options offered by Maximator:
2:1 Single Stage Amplifier Double Acting: Suitable for applications that need a high flow rate and increased air pressure.
Multiple Ratio Single Stage Air Amplifier Double Acting: These are a great solution to insufficient air pressures and can boost air pressure at work stations up to 4,350 PSI.
Like most other air tools, the air booster range from Maximator can operate from a single shop air connection. You could also order for systems designed to meet specific applications. Since they are compact and light weight, they can be installed at different locations on your shop floor. So couple your air operated tool with an air booster and see the productivity rise.
