Compressed Air Applications

Compressed air (commonly referred to as ‘Industry’s Fourth Utility’) supplies power for many different manufacturing operations. It supplies motive force and is preferable to electricity as it is both safer and more convenient for the production line.

Broomwade offers compressed air for pneumatic tools that are optimized for industrial production, due to their low power to weight ratio.

• Spray finishing equipment: Air is used to vaporise paint for application to components and products.
• Air operated tools: Preferable to electric tools as they are light and easy to handle.
• Air operated lifting equipment: Small and compact, air hoists can be used for a multitude of lifting operations.
• Shot blasting: Air is used to propel grit or shot for blasting and variety of cleaning operations.
• Cooling & heating: Air is used in a vortex tube to create high volumes of cool air for industrial cooling processes, Vortex tubes can also be reverse flowed to produce high-temperature air used in heating processes
• Cleaning: Air is used for cleaning processes in manufacturing facilities
