Air Service

Air service equipment allows users to regulate, filter and lubricate compressed air systems to ensure equipment is properly protected and allows lower maintenance intervals. This can be as simple as controlling the downstream air pressure by using a regulator or by removing condensate from your air lines/compressor by filtering it to give you drier air. PCI has a fully stocked range of air regulators, filter regulators, filters, FRL's and other devices based in Geelong with same day despatch in Melbourne and surrounding suburbs.

  • What types of air service equipment does plant and control instruments offer?

    PCI offers a wide range of air service equipment. Air lubricators, airline regulators and filters, high-pressure airline filters, and more.
     
  • How do air regulators and filter regulators differ?

    Air regulators and filter regulators serve distinct roles in pneumatic systems. An air regulator controls air pressure, ensuring it remains constant, vital for precise control in various applications. On the other hand, a filter regulator not only maintains consistent pressure but also filters out contaminants like dust and moisture, enhancing air quality. While both regulate pressure, filter regulators additionally ensure clean, dry air, making them essential for equipment longevity and performance in compressed air systems.
     
  • What is the role of an airline regulator?

    An airline regulator is crucial in maintaining stable air pressure within pneumatic systems. It regulates and controls the compressed air PRESSURE to a specific, predetermined level, ensuring it remains consistent for the operation of various pneumatic tools and equipment. By preventing pressure spikes and fluctuations, regulators protect downstream components from damage, reduce the risk of leaks, and improve the safety and efficiency of the system. They also allow users to adjust and fine-tune air pressure to meet specific operational requirements. In essence, airline regulators are essential for ensuring the reliable and precise operation of pneumatic equipment in industrial applications.

  • What impurities can an airline filter remove?

    An airline filter can remove a range of impurities from compressed air systems, including solid particles, liquids, and oil aerosols. It effectively filters out dust, dirt, rust, and other solid contaminants that can damage downstream pneumatic equipment. Additionally, it removes moisture and water droplets, preventing corrosion and improving air quality. Oil aerosols, which can originate from the compressor, are also removed, ensuring clean and oil-free air. By eliminating these impurities, airline filters enhance the reliability and efficiency of pneumatic systems, reduce the risk of equipment damage, and maintain product quality in various industrial applications.
     
  • How do FRLs enhance compressed air system performance?

    FRLs (Filter-Regulator-Lubricator) enhance compressed air system performance by optimising the quality and delivery of compressed air. Filters remove impurities like solid particles, moisture, and oil, preventing equipment damage and ensuring clean air. Regulators control and maintain stable air pressure, safeguarding against pressure fluctuations and protecting downstream components. Lubricators provide necessary lubrication to pneumatic tools, reducing friction and wear, which extends equipment lifespan and maintains efficient operation. Together, FRLs improve the reliability, longevity, and efficiency of pneumatic systems, reducing maintenance costs, downtime, and the risk of equipment failures, making them essential components in industrial applications.
     
  •  Is same-day despatch available for air regulator products?

    PCI has a fully stocked range of air regulators, filter regulators, filters, FRLs and other devices based in Geelong. Same-day despatch is available for Melbourne and surrounding suburbs.
     
  • How do air filter regulators contribute to lower maintenance intervals?

    Air filter regulators significantly extend maintenance intervals by ensuring clean, dry air in pneumatic systems. By filtering out contaminants like dust and moisture, they prevent damage to valves, cylinders, and other components, reducing wear and tear. This cleaner air enhances equipment lifespan, minimising breakdowns and repairs. 
     
    Additionally, consistent pressure regulation optimises system performance, reducing strain on components. With reduced wear, fewer breakdowns, and improved efficiency, filter regulators lead to lower maintenance needs, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity.
