Handy Guidelines to Choose an Efficient Air Booster

Author: peterduffy | Posted: 02.07.2012

An air booster is a low-maintenance device that draws in air from its surrounding environment to generate a high volume stream of air. This device, also termed as an air amplifier, is capable of amplifying air several times higher than its original consumption level. The hallmark of a quality air amplifier is one that offers quiet operation, consistent air flows and controllable output levels.

This energy efficient device doesn’t consume electricity, thus saving you considerable dollars. These units are light-weight, compact and portable, which enables you to use them in restricted spaces too. Once you have zeroed in on whether you need a single acting or double acting air amplifier, the next step would be to contact a distributor of Maximator Products®, as this brand is renowned for its first-rate product line.

When coupled with an air booster, you shall observe that your air operated tools become more efficient. These air amplifiers are capable of generating pressure ranging from as much as 30PSI to 4,350PSI. These devices can also be teamed with pneumatic machinery when their current working pressure is not up to the desired levels.

Here are some things to look out for in a high quality air amplifier:

Shop noise: If you intend to use the unit at your plant or workshop, chances are your shop floor noise levels are already high. Hence, it is important to purchase a unit that offers quiet operation.

Design: A compact, light weight and portable configuration would certainly make it easy for you to install and operate air boosters. It is advisable to consult an experienced distributor/supplier to know the best mounting position for your air amplifier.

Vital features: Always choose an air booster with useful aspects such as ‘Stall’ at the end target pressure. Maximator units detect even a 1% plunge from your target pressure and they automatically restart. Air compressors that incorporate PTFE seals offer you a longer service life.

Customization: Air amplifiers are used in various types of drying, conveying, blow-off and cooling applications. If you have a highly specialized application where standard units are not compatible, you could opt for units with customized features.

Accessories: These are an important part of the overall apparatus and can be ordered from your chosen supplier. Accessories could include a regulator with gauge, air filters, shut-off valves, and other fittings that enhance the operation of your air booster. In addition, there are a variety of accessories that facilitate the installation process of an air amplifier.
