compressed-air accessories

Select compressed-air accessories compatible with the system

Compressed-air accessories include the components required between the compressor, the compressed-air treatment system, and the end-use equipment to ensure reliable operation. Not every accessory is necessary for every system. Rather, it is crucial to consider the entire compressed-air system in terms of air demand, operating pressure, piping layout, consumption profile, and maintenance requirements.

The current product range extends from compressed-air hoses and hose safety restraints to air receivers and condensate management, as well as compressor oil and maintenance kits for rotary screw compressors. The individual product groups have their own subcategories, where technical details are provided in greater depth.

Sizing compressed-air hoses based on flow rate and length

Flexible compressed-air hoses are used, for example, between the compressor and the end user or in mobile applications. The inner diameter determines how much compressed air can be transported with an acceptable pressure loss. The current product range includes inner diameters of 19, 25, 32, and 38 mm on 40-meter rolls.

The greater the air demand and the longer the line length, the more important it is to ensure adequate sizing. Therefore, a connection with the correct thread alone does not necessarily indicate whether the entire hose cross-section is suitable for the application. Hose safety restraints are also available for longer hose lines.

Air Receivers for Storage Capacity and Peak Demand

Air receivers provide storage capacity in the system. They can buffer short-term load peaks and help reduce pressure fluctuations between generation and consumption. The current product line includes vertical air receivers ranging from 500 to 3,000 liters at a maximum pressure of 11 bar, available in either powder-coated or hot-dip galvanized finishes.

The appropriate tank size should not be determined solely based on the compressor’s motor power. Relevant factors include, among others, the average and maximum air consumption, the temporal distribution of peak loads, and the overall system design.

Drain condensate and then treat it properly

Condensates are produced during the generation and treatment of compressed air. Condensate drains and drain valves ensure that this condensate is removed from tanks, filters, or other collection points. If the condensate contains oil components, separate treatment using an oil-water separator may be required afterward.

The product range includes time-controlled, mechanical, and level-controlled drains, as well as oil-water separators, replacement kits, and monitoring products. This category has its own subcategory: condensate treatment or condensate management.

Oil and Maintenance for Rotary Screw Compressors

Depending on the model and maintenance schedule, rotary screw compressors require suitable operating fluids and wear parts. The current product range includes Screwlub VG 46 as well as maintenance kits for various model series and service intervals. Both product areas already have their own categories to ensure that specific search and purchase intentions are not mixed in with the general accessories page.

Buy Compressed-Air Accessories

Anyone looking to purchase compressed-air accessories should first determine what function the component is intended to serve in the system. For hoses, the focus is on cross-sectional area and pressure loss; for tanks, the required buffer volume; for condensate management, safe drainage and treatment; and for maintenance parts, the exact machine compatibility. This allows accessories to be selected specifically, without limiting the compressed air system with components that are too small, incorrectly matched, or unnecessary.
