When using pneumatic power tools, overpressure is an ever-present concern that can result in financial, performance and, in some cases, health and safety issues. Factories, assembly lines and repair shops require pneumatic tools to perform their various tasks as fast and efficiently as possible. Each pneumatic tool is designed to perform best at a given pressure. Operating the tool at a higher pressure not only reduces the performance but also shortens the possible lifecycle of the tool.
In today’s environment where each cost is micromanaged, compressed air usage is a serious consideration. Compressed air is expensive to generate as there is a lot of energy (electrical and mechanical) involved in producing it. Therefore, it is crucial that compressed air usage is managed correctly.
ProtectAir’s ToolReg is an investment in energy efficiency. It is designed to optimise performance and lengthen the lifespan of the tool, as well as preventing loss of production time due to the damaged tool being out for repairs. The automatic secondary pressure relief releases all the residual pressure in the pneumatic tool to prevent unexpected activation (common in nail guns and staplers).
Factory set to prevent pressure changes, the ToolReg is fully tamper-proof and designed so that only the required pressure is used for each individual pneumatic tool. ToolReg is available in various preset pressures from 2 bar up to 8 bar to suit tools and equipment with ¼″ up to ¾″ compressed air inlet sizes.
