In the woodworking industry, compressed air is essential to power the machinery and tools that allow the production systems to run consistently and effectively. Pneumatic (air-powered) tools have become integral to woodworking. Their efficiency, durability, safety, and ease of use make them ideal choices for many applications. In larger manufacturing facilities, compressed air may also be used to power the solenoids inside the dust collector, the conveyor belts, power lifts, material handling equipment, hold-down rolls, and large industrial planers, lathes, turners, and other woodworking equipment. In nearly every step of the woodworking process, you'll find air compressors hard at work.
Compressed air purity
In factories and shops applying coatings, paint and varnishe, compressed air quality is to atomize and transfer paint onto doors, draws, panels and components. Because oil and water can cause damage to equipment, and the final product, it’s important that the compressed air you’re using is of high quality and high purity. To prevent unwanted contamination that create finishing issues such as Fish Eyes and Orange Peel, the compressed air filters, dryers, drain traps and cooling are important to select, size, install and maintain correctly. Our extensive range of clean air treatment products, and services can help you to mitigate against all of the unwanted pain points, and ensure up time, clean and dry compressed air in keeping with all of the health and safety requirements in Ontario.
Many facilities we visit have paint and coating sprayers breathing the compressed air. CSA Z180, is a standard to which this compressed air supply must conform to. Breathable compressed air quality testing must be performed every six months to ensure that the operators are ingesting safe compressed air, free of CO, taste, smell and other undesirable compressed air contaminants.
With this in mind, clean air treatment is of course an essential part of your system, comprising of filters, dryers, and catalytic converters, to provide you with the necessary levels of ISO 8573.1 compressed air quality class. Air Solutions Canada Inc. preventative maintenance plans and our knowledge of industry best practices, means that we 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.
