3.8 Compressed air connection
3.8.1
Standard connection
The compressed air admitted to the distributors must be purified to the following values:
• it must be free from solid particles larger than 5 µm. The filter present on our machines has a filtration of 5µm.
• It should not contain more than 1.5 g of water / m3
• It should not contain more than 30 mg of oil condensate / m3
The customer should arrange the installation of filter/lubricator device, as well as a pressure regulator (manometer)
on the machine's compressed air supply.
The manual stopping valve lockable in closed position (provided by customer) should be installed on the machine's
compressed air supply.
The supply pipe should accept a pressure of at least 1 Mpa (10 bar) (145 psi).
• Connection diameter: rapid action hose coupling DN 6 (0.24") for hose Ø 6/8 mm.
• Advised pressure: 550-700 kPa (5,5-7 bar) (80-102 psi).
• Minimum pressure: 550 kPa (5,5 bar) (80 psi).
• Maximum pressure: 700 kPa (7 bar) (102 psi).
• Consumption 280 l/h.
To avoid too big head losses, the compressed air supply pipe should be bigger in diameter than the coupling di-
ameter (DN 8 for example); in this case, put a 6/8-8/10 adapter.
