Using compressed air in the automotive industry can save energy and money during assembly. It is typically used in manufacturing to aid in cutting, welding, powering tools, tire inflation, blow offs, valve and cylinder power, and paint spray finishing. Cleaning and painting processes utilize compressed air throughout many steps, and compressed air quality is of paramount importance to both. In such applications, operators performing paint spraying may require breathable compressed air for respirators and to meet the CSA Z180 breathable compressed air standard. Compressed air is also used to transport paint onto the vehicles, and their components, and quality is of paramount importance to ensure that it is free of dirt, oil, and water, and make sure that the paint finish is free of “fisheyes”, “orange peel” and other imperfections.
Compressed air purity
Because oil can cause damage to equipment, create corrosion, create cracks, flakes or blemishes in paint and even prevent paint from adhering to the car’s surface, it’s important that the compressed air you’re using is of high quality and high purity. To prevent as much contamination as possible it’s recommended to install a good filtration system and maintain regular upkeep of all equipment in your air compressor station. Our extensive range of clean air treatment products, such as filters dryers and oil/water condensate management, allow us to provide you with any level of ISO 8573.1 compressed air quality class. Air Solutions Canada Inc. preventative maintenance plans and best practices allow you to maintain your equipment and ensure it’s working efficiently. Some might say that it is impossible to associate the price of compressed air downtime with the cost of maintaining the equipment correctly. Our service division provides peace of mind for any facet of your compressed air generating station and its distribution network and accessories.
