Air Muscle: an alternative to pneumatic cylinders
The revolutionary West "Air Muscle" is a lightweight, single-acting, pneumatic linear actuator with a high power to weight ratio.
This process prevents the re-entrainment of contamination that normally occurs.
Contamination, which is flowing vertically downwards, is not capable of reversing direction and must separate before the pre-filtered air enters the cotton, polyester and stainless steel element for final drying.
The end result is dry air, filtered to 1 micron.
Available with porting from 1/4" to 2" BSPP, the Application Dryer can handle air flows from 25 - 19,000 litres/minute.
Every unit includes a dependable, automatic float drain to expel any liquids that build up inside the bowl.
