High quality compressed air is essential to pneumatic and automation systems.
Correct air preparation is imperative in order to minimise component failure, increase the operating life of equipment and reduce energy consumption.
Water vapour occurs naturally in air and is present in the hot air discharged from air compressors. This hot air will then release condensate as it meets the colder surfaces of down stream equipment. Although the condensate can be removed via drains, liquid will remain in the air stream. This liquid condensate will break down lubricating oils increasing friction between moving surfaces and corrode exposed metal components.
For compressed air installations where bulk water contamination is a real problem, the Walker Filtration range of water separators offer excellent water removal effiencies even at low velocities. Typically, water separators are installed downstream of after coolers and air receivers, refrigerant dryers and at strategic points in pipe work installations. Specially designed, Walker Filtration's water separators utilise a custom engineered centrifugal module which removes large quantities of liquid by centrifugal action.
Walker Filtration water separators are tested in accordance with ISO 12500-4.
We sell water seperators to Townsville, Mackay, Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands as well as Mount Isa and Bowen
